Snakes on a Plane!
So my friend Anka called me last night to go see Snakes on a Plane and of course I couldn't refuse the offer. I had no real expectations going into this movie, except that I wanted to see some snakes on an airplane. The flick starts out and I'm like, shit, they are going to try and have a story to this!
However, without spoiling anything (except there are snakes on the plane!), it actually ended up being a good film overall. Maybe it's b/c I wasn't expecting much but just enjoy some tincture and kick back. This is what cinema should be when it isn't art.
Oh yeah, check out the great marketing technology they used for the film with this caller/email postcard app that has Samuel L. Jackson call you by name (unless you are Anka~!)
Extra Tip! If you order your tix online through Fandango, get the Senior tix b/c they are cheaper - usually when the guy taking the tix at the theater scans it in he/she won't really notice and let you slide like we did. After all they aren't homeland security - wait - that isn't saying much...

Steel city...
When I was in Pittsburgh last month, James Cook and I went up one of the hills on an 'incline' which was like a ski lift/escalator/room. Pittsburgh was remarkably hilly and I had no idea what to expect, but really did like the city.
We passed by this shack that was so run down, but had a running TV inside. At first I was thinking it might be an art installation but then thought better of that and it seems to be the valet hut for a nearby fancy restaurant.

The British are coming...
My friend, British journalist Hans Klein, came to San Francisco for a story he was doing on the Church of John Coltrane which is here in the city. I've always wanted to check it out but have yet to go. Hans was also in Vegas the previous week where we were both covering the 2006 NPC USAs so it was good to hang out in a different context.
Since the British pound is so strong, it made sense for him to purchase a powerbook in the states (which he's shown using here).

The other side of the lens
So this last weekend at the USAs it seemed like people were taking pix with me in them a lot. I take so many shots of people that I am happy to oblige the requests, and of course most being with some great looking women makes it that much easier. This one is with Canadian professional salsa dancer Nancy Di Nino.
