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


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.

An Actual Key!

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.

Chicago Brewing Co.

A couple of weeks ago, on a rather pleasant afternoon, I had a rather leisurely lunch on the patio of the Chicago Brewing Co. with several friends. Quiet the enjoyable afternoon. I’m rather fond of the beer here but find the food to be only OK.
