San Francisco
Screen Circus Short Film Festival
One of the very first events I attended as a wide-eyed little 18-year-old in San Francisco was a local film festival at the Red Vic Movie House. Since then I have been absolutely in love with the tiny theater in upper Haight, where you can eat popcorn in wooden bowls

Mexican Bicentennial and Centennial Celebration Tonight at City Hall
Up here in the northernmost and wettest reaches of Alta California, la Independencia isn’t even a blip on the radar most years. Which is why, on this, the Bicentennial of Mexico’s Independence and Centennial of the Revolution, I had hoped to be in DF drinking cubas, eating chiles en nogada
