Morning in Marin: Zen, Drugs, and Ewoks on the California Coast Zen, Drugs, and Ewoks on the California Coast

There are blues three nights a week in Oakland: East Oakland on Saturday nights, Lakeside on Sundays, and Mondays at Eli's. A bassist who is also a photojournalist for the tribune told me!

Do you keep a list of these peak film experiences that you might care to share?

I would like to watch more movies, but only GOOD movies, preferably with lots of dialogue (think The Lion in Winter).

No discussion of tech media can get past this basic traffic fact:Β in the AI world, Google and social no longer refer traffic, which means that the vast majority of readers just never find you in the first place. Analysis: growtika.com/blog/tech-m...

I have befriended 2 geologists in my neighborhood which might be all of them, which is on track with somehow finding and bonding with all 4 architecture majors in my year in college (English major, there was no overlap).

Pink background with text overlaid: Then the stairway sharpened into view: steep and narrow, bordered by weeds and poppies that cushioned the descent. Grass pushed through fissures in the concrete, leaves gathered in pockets of shade, broken glass crackled underfoot." Lian Ladia, The City Writes the Score, Issue Three

Lian Ladia recounts a guided walk that led to a performance in one of San Francisco's beloved stairwells. The occasion was a closing event for an exhibition of paintings by David Wilson and featured musicians Zekarias Musele Thompson and Joel St. Julien. With photographs by Andrew Owen.
