fredantes

it took me awhile to remember my profile here on sg, so i have just answered your question on my comment page. feel free to check it out.

home, just wanted to say hello...so, bonjour.

my humbling moment ... involves giving my ex-boyfriend and a bunch of his space cadet friends a ride home from the beach since they were drunk... and getting pulled over, agreeing to a search (since i though there was nothing in the car, and we all had class/work..) and getting booked with 3 trafficking felonies and 4 misdemeanors. things are sorting themselves out now, it was only that bad because the kid who owned everything, jumped out of the car and ran. (fuckhead). being that I was the one who got landed in this position out of all my friends, the response was generally hysterical laughter, and the lasting nickname "escobar". wasnt funny then, but gets funnier as days pass.

I love Sonic Youth.

Cheap cameras definitely give interesting distorted results sometimes. I think I've taken more interesting shots with my crappy $25 digital than with my $270 Nikon.

hehe... i got your email... that is a pretty good humbling moment. i might beat you out on it, but mines not nearly as funny, except to the people who know me.

That's a relief.

Let me know how the latin american film festival is.... be curious to hear.

Hope to get a chance to see Sonic Youth... kinda peeved- they are playing in Portland maine at this great little place right down the road from where I used to live.....
If I don't get a chance with all the moving you can rub it in my face how good they were live!!!!

hallo again.... well, as for italy....advanced schmadvanced... all i want is a country with some sense of morals. Does that sound harsh? I just feel very sad living in a country that exercises its brute power by invading 3rd world countries, taking what we need, and leaving them penniless... I feel i've lost hope. And italys got some damn good food and art. 2 of my biggest priorities.
Chuck Close is a contemporary american painter/printmaker who does large-scale portraits. He's an incredibly humble and down-to-earth guy (need I say, this is a needle in the haystack in the art community) who's always looking to help out the underdog. He woke up, in a freak occurence, paralyzed one day from the neck down, and now he paints these 10 foot tall portraits with a paintbrush contraption somehow tied to his arm every day while listening to old old old muddy waters type blues tunes. I think his presence on the whole just struck me as amazing. Look into his stuff, he's quite amazing. If you're a warhol fan esp, you can certainly appreciate him.
so what types of films are you working on right now? Where do you get your inspiration? It sounds like you are making a lot of headway lately! Does any particular producer/directors work specifically interest you? I'm not a gigantic film buff, but i know my peas from my carrots.
Now, as for this most humbling moment business.... kaguthri@edisto.cofc.edu. Curiosity killed the cat ~

I'd like to live in Italy, France, and Northern California. Those are my top 3 right now. Then, theres Vermont (which is stunning), NYC for a small stint (but boston outweighs it), and perhaps australia. In short, i'd like to live everywhere at some point . hehe... My first trip will be copenhagen though, and i cannot wait. I'm sure ill want to live there after as well. I think we'll be visiting amsterdam, london, or part of germany in the proccess as well. The suspense is killing me.
I am a studio art and psychology major, with a possible minor in english or anthro. Havent decided on the minor yet. But i've got time on my side.
hehe, as for your journal entry, it must be quite a challenge finding real girls in the hollywood business/LA. my advice would be to venture elsewhere. Southern Cali seems like a big circus act to me, but i suppose you know better.
now what i'm curious about... what exactly is your most humbling moment?

http://www.tinkertown.com/

Its an amazing place Called the tinkertown museum. There are lots of old tinkertown installations this guy collected ( he died a few years back and his wife now runs the place)as well as assorted cool junk. The entire fun fiasco is housed in a building with walls comprised solely of glass bottles, cement and random objects....

Its about 40 min up the road from me, but I farted around since the move and just now went to see it- There is so much detail I am sure I missed that I hope to get back there before i move to Denver next month!

hi there,

I am a sucker for artsy little coffee shops. I think a large portion of my paycheck goes to kitschy little restaurants or cafes. I havent actually been outside outside the USA (Mexico and Canada dont really count).I'm going to visit a friend in Copenhagen this fall though, and we're going to bop around Europe a bit. My french is terrible, but i think it's a beautiful language....always was very difficult for me to pick up though. I'm pretty well versed in Italian and German, and Italian always messed up my french pretty horribly. I would love to travel. Places that are top on my list to visit when I'm in europe this summer are paris and florence.
You should really come visit charleston South Carolina, it's a trip. The rest of south carolina (in my new york/connecticut view) is basically worthless, but charleston has a lot of artistic weight. It's a great city. What's your favorite city anyhow?

A cousin's neighbor used to put a firecracker between his front teeth and light the fuse. I never witnessed this idiocy, but my cousin says the kid said the explosion, "felt cold".

I was there both days at coachella actually. Pixies ripped it up.... definately hands down the best act of the festival. Radiohead was as usual, great too. But not the best I've seen...but Thom had a sore throat and had canceled his previous tour dates so i have to give him some credit. me and a friend got lucky and got VIP and backstage passes for both days, so it was incredible. Ive got some pictures on picturetrail.com (member name:katieguthrie) but they dont do the event justice. Moore is percieved mixed I guess. Suprisingly enough, i think he has a bigger crowd in charleston where I go to school. At least with people my age. Both my hometown (a ritzy suburbanite mecca) and my school (in the south...enough said) arent places w/huge michael moore support. How does cali compare? Considering the gargantuan debts California has been sunken into during this presidency, i'd bet a hell of a lot better....

Yes, I am from connecticut (and yes, besides beautiful outdoor scenery, it sucks in a lot of ways.) I go to school in south carolina, so kind of on a whim i talked to my cousin about upcoming music events there (hes from the laguna area) and he told me about coachella. So after taking finals early, i grabbed a friend, a load of cash, a plane ticket, and did the west coast circuit from san diego/pb area to los angeles (and quite a bit in between) visiting friends and such for two weeks also. At the time i was working 3 jobs, and well, money burns in my hands. Its sort of odd growing up where not too many kids are into the same type of stuff, but there's always a select few. Who wants to be mainstream anyways (hehe)... I'm such a little elitist sometimes. I havent heard the new LA station, but ill definately check into it. As odd as CT is though, i dont know if i'd rather live here or LA... LA is a little too similar to a circus for me (but gone terribly wrong...too much money for too few people, extremely elitist, and well, its la-la land.) Love northern cali though. I was just overwhelmed perhaps. I see your hometown is france, what made you want to go to california?
