Speaking of lame alliteration, don't forget about the MidMo screening of the Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. It's this Thursday at the Crest, doors open at 7:30, movie at 8. And the director is going to be there. Is he going to do a Q and A? Before or after? Sometimes those are awkward. Like with that guy who stalks Tiffany at MOBS. I definitely enjoyed watching the directors other movie back in the day (hella old school), the one on the dancing outlaw Jesco White, so I'm looking forward to this one. Lest you think it's just an expoitation flick, read this review by A.O. Scott in the New York Times.
Sweet, BAR mentioned MidMo!
oh yeah, and for those of you who like to read food-related books, have you ever read "California Dish" by Jeremiah Tower? He's the ex-chef of Chez Panisse who is a notorious pansexual playboy (although he glosses over much of that in the book). He mentions Darrel Corti in the book quite a bit. It really degenerates into a confusing mess at the end, but it's good for an extensive skim.

Thanks to Heckasac I just learned what pansexual means! I'm surprised I've never heard that term before....
ReplyDeleteI believe Gore Vidal often referred to himself as pansexual.
ReplyDeleteFriendship Tailor is open again! Closed Sunday and Monday.
ReplyDeleteJeremiah Tower is an awesome nutjob! I'd like to hang out with him, indulge in a few illegal substances and talk shit about Alice.

he ran his restaurant, stars, which for many years was the most profitable in the u.s., on this combo. i'm sure he was super pleasant to be around as well.
