Yes, I have made it official. I am trying to start a Glee club in San Francisco for a three-part story I am working on for The Bold Italic – and I have put up an ad on Craigslist:
Looking to start a SF-based Glee club (San Francisco)

So here’s the deal: Nylon Guys had a story about indie/commercial boy wonder, Joseph Gordon Levitt. It was a very brief and interesting interview – but there was a little mistake in the piece:

And for the record, that picture they used is not posed at all. It is TOTALLY candid.
It’s just another gig to add to my grocery list of gigs! How exciting is that?

Today was my first day of teaching Fashion Journalism at the Academy of Art University and I think I was a total spazz – okay, maybe not TOTALLY, but perhaps partially.
I was uber-nervous that the students were going to hate me and walk all over me, but they were really cool – and I’m just [...]

Ugh. I have to be up at 5 a.m. tomorrow so that I can go to the gym and then make it into the city by 8 a.m. so I can attend an Academy of Art University teaching conference.
With BART acting so slow and annoying lately (and considering I am at the end of the [...]

The San Francisco Chronicle will offer at least 125 employees the chance to take a buyout before the end of the year, the company said Friday.

As I reflect on my transition into the freelance world (translation: when I got laid off as a staff writer from the paper), I am reminiscing about the moment when my boss told me I when I was on dreaded “list.”
Now that time has passed, I think I can talk about it openly. I am [...]

I am currently reading…
The Film Club By David Gilmour: See what happens when a father lets his son drop out of high school on the condition that he watches three movies a week (of the dad’s choosing)! I’m almost done with this book – it’s okay. There are parts when the Gilmour is talking so [...]

This month’s James McAvoy-clad issue of Details is a good one. There’s an article on guys who get vasectomies in their 20’s. Excellent read. There’s also a fun article on Joel McHale. But there’s one thing missing – my name in the contributors section.
