Hi Again Friends,
Happy New Year, Happy Valentines Day, Happy doing your best to stay afloat despite the tragedies around us. Since I last wrote, so much has happened. It’s a wild time to be in the states and a wild time to be on earth, new information, horrors, and events are happening so fast. I’ve been trying to lean into my local communities and check on my friends around the world throughout the chaos we are living in.
Back home the Journal Building Artist Residency was closed by ArtSpan San Francisco. All the artists had to move out after getting notice it was closing on the first of December last year. I appreciate the support from Art Span, it was a special place and time. It’s a real shame that the program had to end due to arts budget cuts state and nation wide.
I was fortunate to spend the holidays with my family and am so grateful to be able to be together in the face of distance and health struggles. All families should be able to be together and the forces in our country that are making that impossible for some to have that privilege people need to be stopped. Our country needs to outgrow itself and find a new way to operate that focuses on love and providing for (the most expansive interpretation of) ‘the least of these’.
I can’t wait to be back in town to reconnect with the community and celebrate life and work Haight Ashbury. San Francisco and the world grieved the loss of Bobby Weir of The Grateful Dead and I got the opportunity to help memorialize him in the Haight Street Voice. It’s been incredible to watch the community come together around their memories of The Grateful Dead.
My birthday is in the month of January, I was lucky enough to get to learn tons and make new friends at Pocket Gamer Connects, visit the Cartoon Museum and eat way too much cake.
