Big Cheese
Tuesday, the after school program turf war resumed. But since the first few crazy weeks, the tension has subsided. The kids mostly accept it; they know the drill. And now, after so much exposure to it, the chaos seems to have an almost orchestral flow to it. I see the pattern.
Still, it’s a lot of kids—kids eating meals in double time. Things get messy. The sting of which has also...

After an hour delay, and some flickering sleep on a bench, I felt refreshed, pain-free and ready to board the plane for sunny (but actually cold, gray and rainy) Sacramento. …
I want to know who told him that Sacramento is sunny in January. It’s fucking winter, of course it’s going to be cloudy. This is Central California, love.
I lived in the area for...

My interview with Exene Cervenka. →
This was a nice way to finish up the year. I had two nice interviews in one issue: this one and one with Tim Bluhm from the Mother Hips.
Talking to Exene was a huge thrill, though. I told her at the end of the interview that I’d interviewed her X cohort John Doe in person once before (out back of Old Ironsides in Sacramento), and she asked me if he was cool or if he acted like a dick. When...

There are no Bank of America service branches in Utah, Colorado and Nebraska. I found this out the hard way during my cross-country trek back to New York from California.
AT&T had turned off my cell phone, because I hadn’t paid the bill. I really didn’t have the money to do so. This happened in Denver, a large city that still feels like a backwoods mountain town. The bright spot...
