Before the SloMo Video Festival
Saturday, May 20, 2006
Featuring Ryan Junell and DJ Ray Liotta plus a bunch of hepcats of Eastbay & beyond.
We had to cab there and back again, because, 18th & Campbell on a Saturday night. Good crowd there. Ryan really got his hustle on promoting this showing.
I was easily the oldest person in the room. Which gave me the opportunity, during the 'Take an Oreo and pass them along' portion of the pre-screening festivities to say:
"Excuse me, ma'am, would you like a cookie?"
to the mid-twenties super-coolie to my left.

Tiny Hats for Tiny Hoovers
Crochet hats for the twins. I hope the yarn that I used will be alright for them.
Although there's eight hats pictured, I actually only made four of them. This picture is an example of what, in simpler times, would have been called 'trick photography'. It's really a double exposure of the hats, once lined up side by side, and once as nesting baskets.
New Lamp from Mary's Seat
Here's how the new lampshade looks from where Mary sits. It might need a little tweaking, but I think it could work.
New Lamp Installed
It's actually a new shade for an old lamp that I inherited from my parents. The old shade was a heat-trap, and would fry the wiring after a few months' use. Then the lamp would flicker and eventually cease to work.
I made this new shade out of 4" heating duct, and left it open at the top to allow the heat to escape.

SloMo Video Festival Poster
Dagmar & I went to Kinko's & printed up a bunch of posters for the SloMo Video Festival today. Here's one in the window of Taqueria del Sol. Details below, with the following caveat:
I just stopped by the Lobot Gallery space at 18th & Campbell in West Oakland. It's just a couple blocks from my old studio. The neighborhood's, eeeeh, a little bit gritty. Like, don't ride you bike there. Like, lock you car, set the alarm and post an armed guard. Like, if you're a woman and you're alone, don't. Just don't.
That said, please come for the show. I'll be there (onscreen, anyway), breaking glass in slow motion.

Gee, Bruce, what do you look at every day as you're peeing?
This is the view outside my bathroom window.
Welcome Mat
Now repeat after me:
- "I'm not going to say anything. I'd like to see a lawyer." and
- "I don't consent to this search."
