As Spring struggles to spring in fits and starts of wet and wonder, I am in the midst or making the next BentBoyBooks Bar Story. The second in the series is by SF writer David Christensen. Look for a wild wonderful trip through our fair city's fantastic history of wild indulgence. Be sure to send a note if you want to be included in the limited distribution.

Re-reading Elements of a Coffee Service (Robert Gluck). A lovely re-discovery of why I love Bob and why I thought it worth a trek cross country just to be in the same writing program he taught in.

A lovely show at Margaret Tedesco's 2nd Floor Gallery all about Curt McDowell. An amazingly intimate space to be with the work and not something to miss if you can. The current is through March 29th. The text, a free ranging treatise on power, persuasion and please is a must have in its crisp white acid free limited edition.

Hoping to meet Minnette for drinks at sunset above the bay (her place) to celebrate the Irish by drinking moderately and eating well from the Ferry Building fare (market and shops). If you think an artist perch above the bay with the best garden ever in the city (sorry Bob)and have an interest in writing send a note of interest, we may be resurrecting a workshop soon.
