Dolores Park Movie Night: The Goonies
The Goonies is probably my favorite movie of all time. It’s got everything: action, adventure, romance, pirates and that terrifying old lady. As I get older my favorite scene changes currently it’s where Mouth (played by Corey Feldman) is giving a tour of the house, in Spanish, to the new
The Rock Paper Scissors Collective
If you read Monica’s post about Workshop on Saturday, then you know that BAS loves DIY. And the more the merrier, so here is another DIY hub in the East Bay. In the heart of the Oakland art scene is a little hole in the wall called the Rock Paper
Cool Stop Motion Video in a Mini San Francisco
This 1851 photo of SF just slightly predates stop motion videography. My very talented friend Tony Benna just sent this to me and I thought all you SF head would dig it. It’s crazy stop motion video shot with a miniature San Francisco at night. It’s apparently some kind of
