Sunsets, the feature film still is getting it’s day. It’s now played twice in Chicago to not the largest crowds, but twice at Siskel Film Center. The first time they (Siskel and Ebert) were both alive and well with a powerful show that influenced crowds to see movies. Today, Siskel has passed away and Ebert is working hard through a stroke. Rating movies has gone to new folks, mostly online. Films have changed. The medium and technique are different. Yet, the film center still exists and makes movies look good. The front door itself is a reminder that you’re entering a real cinema center. Don’t mess around inside. This is the Rucker Park of film. The projection was beautiful. A serious projection system that made us look good. I actually sat through the film again. What do film fest folks do to kill a bit of time? Scrabble. That’s the scene when we walked in. Game on. What’s with the eye patch girl in the painting!

Forgot to tell you all, esp since I was ragging on airlines not too long ago… yesterday? Anyways, here’s something sort of funny. Plane to Tokyo is about to land. Lower, lower, lower, and as it hits ground, the guy two rows in front of me who’s sitting in an exit row at the front of the cabin, with a steward and stewardess facing him vomit launches on the cheap carpet in front of him. Quickly, the smell wafts backwards. The steward is on his hands and knees cleaning it up. The plane is now taxi-ing to the gate. It’s a bummer. I would have made every effort to put into the pillow case, or even in the blanket that every seat has, but no, this guy let it rip. Soon, they use an air freshener and the smell was gone. I last saw the steward wiping his shoes.

Chelsea Wong of Giant Robot SF is busted eating pizza on the job. She actually deserves the slice, since she helped the dog below which was left in a car on a hot day. The windows were cracked, but that dog was dehydrated sitting in there for an hour and a half or more. Chelsea dumped a half bottle of water in there, and the big dog never stopped drinking. She's smiling since she knows she's...

She’s smiling since she knows she’s spilling a bunch in the car too. The Slumdoglords should get their dog ownership revoked. This is amazing looking. It’s from Rosamunde Sausage grill. This was the special lamb chili dog and was gamey and great. It’s in the lower haight and this was delicious. I saw this also in the lower haight. It’s stencils of koi. I don’t know what’s more serene that koi swimming on pavement. It’s one of the favorite examples of streetart that I’ve seen.
