This is a picture from a visit back to Philadelphia in 2007. Although there is much to appreciate about autumn in the southwest, I do get nostalgic for the colorful east coast autumns.

OK, so, yeah, I guess one does sometimes need 2 computers at the same time.

ALA and SilverDocs

ALA and SilverDocs


I’m still working through some pics from my trip a few weeks ago. I needed to attend the SilverDocs Film Festival was the same week. I arrived in DC a couple of days early so that I could go to some of the film festival. I was hoping to get to more, but I did see four films:

Also saw two shorts:

I liked all the films, but I would have to say that The Devilles was my favorite. What I found particularly interesting was how the couple at the center of the film Terri Lee and Shawn Geary tried to meld their presumably alternative lifestyle (she is a burlesque star and he is in a punk band) with a rather conventional suburban existence. It’s hard to not relate the weight of these conventional expectations to the troubles they had in their marriage.

I would like at some point to be able to go back to SilverDocs and be able to experience more of the festival. I’m a little eager to get to a festival now that CineVegas is defunct.

A couple of weeks ago, I was in Washington DC and Philadelphia. In both cities, I stayed in old school hotels (Hotel Harrington in DC and Penn’s View Hotel in Philly). In both places, I got an actual metal key! How quaint! This is the key from the Hotel Harrington.

This is from a few weeks ago from when a friend was in town. I don’t get to Lotus of Siam often enough, I really enjoyed it both times I’ve been there. You can read my review of it on my Yelp page.
