There is so much wrong with IMAX theater’s decision to not show the film “Volcanoes of the Deep Sea” because of its mention of evolution, that I just decided to stop going to IMAX theaters while this policy continues. Is there no room for competing viewpoints? Now a movie theater has to take it upon itself to decide which messages are allowed and which are not, on the basis of the supposed religious beliefs of its viewers? Are these beliefs so fragile that people cannot stand to see a film mention an opposing viewpoint in fear of their whole world collapsing?
This Thurs. March 24 at 7:30, FIXED, produced by Lewis Haidt and directed and edited by Neil Matsumoto, will be shown at the American Cinemateque’s Alternative Screen series at the Egyptian Theater. “FIXED tells the story of a quiet young man on the fringes of L.A.’s art scene — whose strong desire to focus on his artwork results in taking drastic measures to free himself from sexual distractions. Along the way he meets a rising art star and a wealthy, older art patron who offers assistance that makes Matthew uncomfortable.” Jeremy and I provided the artwork for “rising art star” played by Tina Holmes. Go see it!
John is gone..
Today we mourn the loss of car maker extraordinaire, John Delorean. Forget about Back to the Future for just a minute, and take a look at that car.

“While at GM, he created what some consider the first “muscle car” in 1964 by cramming a V-8 engine into a Pontiac Tempest and calling it the GTO, fondly dubbed the “Goat” by auto enthusiasts.”

I finished a new song this weekend, a folksy track I wrote based on some field recording I did in New York City. This one is about a girl I may have glimpsed while walking in the rain, and our possible life together.

Hello all… even though this is a blog of both coasts, i feel I would be remiss to not mention this. The Dunlop Tire building, off Allans Ave, is redeveloped, yes, but I found out what they are up to. Owner Pat Conley has signed to let a group called PCIS sublease the space to artists for work only spaces, for about $6.00 a sq foot (per year). Expect amazing views of the bay, and wide open semi-private spaces, as well as non-profit office space. Check out the AIR page for contact info.
