Festival Weekend (Late Night Drunken Thoughts)

  • Tucson is a sweaty, sociable, surprisingly badass city
  • The sign reading “tacos de cabeza” made me grateful for my 2 years of high school spanish
  • The Saguaro is the Douglas Fir of the Southwest
  • Quantity < Quality
  • Shit-faced surf jocks can be just as loathsome as frat boys
  • The skills you’d think some learned during high school AV club sometimes don’t necessarily translate to the real world
  • Do. Your. Research.

Walking Around and Waiting

Drinking in the Moonlight, the new album by New Radiant Storm King, hits stores next Tuesday. Good news, in and of itself, but what makes the timing even more fitting is that their music video for Clouds Cover Everything (the one that I directed that doesn’t look like microfilm) will be featured in two film festivals over the following weekend. On October 11th, it will screen at The Other Venice Film Festival and the following day it’s part of the Tucson Film and Music Festival. Here are the details:
