Running and hiking and Yorke-ing

October 5th, 2009 · Comments Off on Running and hiking and Yorke-ing

I nabbed a couple of tickets to see Thom Yorke, Flea, Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker, and Mauro Refosco (the only member of the bizarro supergroup I’d never heard of before) at the Orpheum last night. I was able to get rid of my extra ticket (to someone who’d driven up from San Diego in hopes […]

Intro to Richmond

June 2nd, 2009 · Comments Off on Intro to Richmond

It’s been a week now, and I’m feeling a little behind, but last weekend, we zipped out to Richmond to celebrate my niece’s second birthday, a little late, and see Scott and Sarah, as well as Tim and Mari and Simon in Arlington. It was a really nice trip, though short, as always, and we […]

Time to settle in

April 7th, 2009 · Comments Off on Time to settle in

It’s been a busy few weeks, with moving, going to Boston, and going to Chicago over the last three weekends, but we’re back home for awhile now, and looking forward to getting all of the last little things in the house taken care of, like making the kitchen usable, which Aimee did yesterday. It actually […]

A little of everything

January 10th, 2009 · Comments Off on A little of everything

Today was a jam-packed, thirteen-hour extravaganza of stuff, that’s about the only way to put it. We started with one of the last remaining walks in our Walking L.A. book, and one of the shortest, as well, a half-mile stroll around Leimert Park Village, a little business district about six miles south of us. We […]

Summer is history

September 24th, 2007 · Comments Off on Summer is history

It’s official, this time: we went to the Los Angeles County Fair yesterday, the last of the fairs in the area this summer, and enjoyed a long day of deep fried Oreos – one was one too many – fish tacos, beer samplers, and photobooths. Lots of pigs, goats, sheep, and breakdancers on roller skates, […]

No room at the inn

August 27th, 2007 · Comments Off on No room at the inn

Southern California certainly wins hands down when it comes to outdoor concert venues: we just enjoyed Diana Krall last week at the grandaddy, the Hollywood Bowl, and this Wednesday, we’ll be seeing Wilco at the more intimate Greek Theater in Griffith Park. In between, we headed up to Santa Barbara this past weekend to catch […]

Road Trip Review

September 2nd, 2005 · Comments Off on Road Trip Review

When I bought my dad’s ’95 Golf last year, it made a lot of sense, planning, as we were, to move to the Pacific Northwest, not far from the car’s home in Alaska. A quick trip on a ferry, or a nice drive down the Alcan, and she’d be home. When our plans changed and […]

Off to St. Louis

May 27th, 2005 · Comments Off on Off to St. Louis

It’s been a brief, busy week, and it’s hard to believe it’s already Friday. It was crunch time at work to get the calendar done and to the printers, and then I had the added task of getting it all translated to the website. I finally had a chance to put my new computer through […]

Doubleperf Blows Up

January 1st, 2005 · Comments Off on Doubleperf Blows Up

Thank goodness for Google Alerts. Not only do they bring home just how often the word “MacGyver” is used to refer to someone other than the tv character, and keep me up to date on what other Meachams around the world are doing, but they inform me when my website is featured on a local […]

Minnesota in November

November 16th, 2004 · Comments Off on Minnesota in November

It may not seem an obvious destination this time of year, but how else would I be able to learn the true value of the Minneapolis skywalk network? Minneapolis was host to the 14th annual Association of Moving Image Archivists conference: three days of seminars, presentations, and discussions on the history of film preservation, techniques […]

Notoriety

September 16th, 2004 · Comments Off on Notoriety

I got an email this morning with the subject “congrats,” which immediately made me think it was either lotto scam or Nigerian scam email. Of course, those don’t go in the trash, but into my Nigeria folder, which now has over 300 amazing examples in it, including the two that came in today, from “Barrister […]

We Can Help with Your Nemesis Problem

August 15th, 2004 · Comments Off on We Can Help with Your Nemesis Problem

We returned to New York for the first time in more than six months this weekend, and had a fun-filled, jam-packed time. We managed to miss the worst of the traffic on the way down, even though we made the exact same navigation mistake we’d made the last time we went. After heading down the […]

Two Surrealists, an Abstract Impressionist, and a Prostitute Walk into a Photo Booth

June 29th, 2004 · Comments Off on Two Surrealists, an Abstract Impressionist, and a Prostitute Walk into a Photo Booth

Check out this interesting Guardian feature on a new exhibition in Basel featuring some early photo booth photographs. The photographs are of André Breton and his friends, who included René Magritte, Luis Buñuel, and Max Ernst, among others, taken in the first “photomat” in Paris, brought there in 1928, three years after it was invented […]

Naval Disasters on Postcards, Please

June 14th, 2004 · Comments Off on Naval Disasters on Postcards, Please

I took a trip yesterday to Quassy, a nice little amusement park in central Connecticut, to check out their photobooth. I also stopped in Meriden for what I thought was a big postcard sale, but turned out to be a mid-sized stamp sale with a few postcards on the side in a conference room in […]

Menhatten

January 25th, 2004 · Comments Off on Menhatten

We spent a chilly but very enjoyable weekend in New York, complete with a rock show, a museum, some bars, some photo booths, and lots of parking karma.Thanks to my conversation with Mikey about Josh Rouse, I checked on Josh’s website, where I found out that he would be opening for The Jayhawks on their […]
