Traveled over to Berkeley on Saturday to check out the Hauntology exhibit at the BAM/PFA museum by the UC. I have never heard of this Hauntology, but apparently it’s a scholarly study of the present which only exists because of a past, and that society essentially re-invests itself like a ghost of the past.

Took the sunset booze sailboat out one evening, where they make you sit on a crappy boat and get you drunk while you listen to shitty 90 pop music and pray you don’t fall overboard. Our bartenders name was Rabbit…. yeah [...]

Drove to Murphys last weekend, kind of on the way to Lake Tahoe. My cousin has a small vineyard and teaches cooking in her beautiful house. The drive up was…intersting. What’s with the religious craze? There was a christian cross carved into a hillside. Maybe that’s going a bit far. Walked into the town to [...]

During my sisters last trip to NYC she went into Kiosk and found these postcards by Ken Brown. He’s been making hilarious pop graphics since the 80s. They are famously on postcards. So when she was in the store, he just happened to be there so she asked him to sign one for [...]
