Back in September of 2015, Lizzy came to my aparment to go through hundreds of my old music and nightlife photos as candidates for her then in-progress book! Five of my photos ended up making it into the final book....
Spent the afternoon poring over Mark Lombardi's incredible Global Networks "art book" that was lent to me by John Roche. The book is filled with his "sociograms" illustrating the relationships of power in the modern world.
Aliens in the Prime of Their Lives by Brad Watson is one of the best collections of short stories I've read in the last few years. Really strange and haunting. Several years later and most of them have still stuck with me. Definitley worth a read!
On Monday evening I took to bus, in 60-degree weather, down to DC to spend the holidays with my parents at Brett & Amy's. I started reading the excellent and fantastic The Holographic Universe on the trip.
Mexi Brunch + Margaritas = Sleepytime! (aka - The Best Photo of All Time). This is one of the photos that the longer you look at it, the funnier it gets.
After brunch, Niki found my one of my "secret" books (check out the book's title and Niki's school-teacher expression and try to not laugh) and read excerpts of it out loud to Karen and Kim...
....SHAZAM! San Francisco Brian is here! "Seriously, you should wear that on the plane out there. People will totally think you're a native that was just visiting NYC. You look great. You're totally going to fit in out there!"
I had my tiny mind split open by this book. It ignited an interest in consciousness that still hasn't abided two years (and many more books) later.
