"Is it true that you're on drugs?"
"Who told you that?"
"Aunt Ketty."
"Mom, that's not true. Weed is not a drug."
"No? Then what is it?"
"Weed."

"Bitch, are you mouthing off again? I'm sorry man, it's just so hard to keep them in line now'a'days."

Basilico_sf_baybridge

If work isn't too totally insane on Thursday (which it might well be) I'm going to go spend some time with Gabriele Basilico's beautiful photos of the Bay Area currently on view at SFMOMA during my lunch break.  I was really inspired by hearing him speak about them a couple weeks ago, and I'm eager to get another look.

I am also superduper excited to be seeing the Black Lips at the Great American Friday night.  Their live shows are legendary.  Pierced Arrows is opening, and the show starts at 9pm.  Come bounce up and down with me!

Underground

And then Saturday afternoon SFMOMA continues their Emile de Antonio film series with screenings of Underground, about radical '60s group the Weathermen, and In the King of Prussia, which covers Catholic pacifist group Plowshares 8.  Sam Green, director of 2002's The Weather Underground, will be introducing the films, and the first one starts at 1pm.  Again, so freakin' excited!

EternalSpring

Finally, after the films I'll be shopping the Eternal Spring event at SomArts, doing my best to find the items that tend to the Pre-Raphaelite goddess side of my personality.  Want to join me there or for dinner at Custom Burger after?  Let me know!

Sweet

Clothing swap!  I don't even care if I don't find anything good, I'm just looking forward to the chance to unload a bag or two of my own closet clutter.  I'll be there right at noon, if not a little before...

In_the_year_of_the_pig

And then I'll be dashing over to SFMOMA to catch this week's Emile de Antonio double feature.  Last week's films were amazing, and I can't wait to see how he handles the Kennedy assassination (Rush to Judgment) and Vietnam (In the Year of the Pig).  Rush to Judgment starts at 1pm, In the Year of the Pig at 3pm.

Bazaar Bizarre

Saturday morning I'm going to be over at the Bazaar Bizarre at the County Fair Building in Golden Gate Park as soon as it opens at 11am getting the last of my holiday shopping done.  Which, knowing me, means I'll probably end up spending more on items for myself than for anyone else, but hey I'll still be supporting local craftsters.  And only a dollar to get in.  Come browse with me!  Lunch at Lime Tree afterward!

The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant

And then I'll be moseying over to SFMOMA for the next film in their Jeff Wall film series, Fassbinder's The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant.  It features cinematography by Michael Balhaus, who went on to work with Scorsese, and looks absolutely camptastic.  $5 for the movie, or free with museum admission ($12.50), and the screening starts at 3pm.  My museum membership lets me get myself and one other person in for free, so give a shout if you're interested.
