Tonight I leave for San Diego for Artwalk on the Bay - an 8-10 hr drive from my home. I have to go through LA on my way there; the typically horrible LA traffic will determine how long my drive is.
Road Rage in LA is a reality. Every time I’ve driven in/around/through the city, I’ve seen it. […]

Ok, it was by 6 year old Jericho Cortina, who’s mother had just bought him his first piece of art, but still…

I wish I had my digital camera, so I could throw up some pictures when I have nothing to say… like now…
Ok, one little thing… I went to the Chicago Westfest music festival last night with my friend Neil. The headliner was a band called the Redwalls who I thought were brilliant (they sound much […]

In the middle of the third season of his fantastic and groundbreaking show, Chappelle’s Show on Comedy Central, he stunned his fans and the network by walking out, […]

If you grew up in Quebec, this is insanely funny. But if you grew up in Quebec, you already know about Tetes-a-claques. There’s a new web episode every week, which is great because I laugh my head off every time - and it gives me a little fix of my old culture.
Even if you don’t […]

Kansas City is one of the country’s best-kept secrets. Its at an interesting crossroad: its where the rust belt ends, meeting up where southern hospitality begins. So its an old gritty city with history and beautiful architecture like any mid-west or eastern city, but the people speak “southern,” and they are just as friendly as […]
