THE SPIRIT OF THE CANYON

we went for an evening picnic in the canyon for philippa's birthday.
hannah always puts her pamela love rosary to good use. she's been wearing it lately with the Unearthen oil vial necklace and it looks amazing.. it looks kinda scary like it's supposed to be the blood of christ.how's this for scary.
after those ghosts above our heads and the spirit of the canyon scared the crap out of us.. wine took over and we danced to linda ronstadt and the rolling stones. happy birthday phil.

CINEMA 16

brooklyn curator/photographer molly surno (who took the photo used on our current mixtape cd) is having her first Cinema 16 show in LA next week!
Cinema 16 (the nyc based film society founded in 1947) was revived by molly a couple years ago. She pairs a series of short silent films with a live score by local musicians.
previously only held in new york, this is the first show in LA. This particular program will show a series of films based on the california landscape by some of the masters of the 20th century experimental cinema.. transformed by the musical collective Lucky Dragons.
sounds awesome.. we just bought our tickets.

at 76 years old, she's still working like a maniac creating awareness all over the world. she's one of the most inspiring ladies ever.
