A Bombastically Anticipated Update To My Blog, As Pertaining To The Three 'I's: Interrelations, Industry, and Intoxicants.
The patience shown by the pair of you who read this journal in waiting for an update has been nothing short of heroic. So much has gone on, that is of interest to so few.
INTERRELATIONS
Sometimes life is both exceedingly sweet and excruciatingly painful at once and for the same reason, ya know?
And sometimes you have a week that's so phenomenal it makes the next bit of time agonizing, ya know?
When the immediate past looks aces, and the near and distant future look equally super dupe, all you can do is hang around and give the present a kick in the ass until it goes away.
INDUSTRY
News on my Freakonomics Movie project:
We have signed with an international sales agency (Celsius Entertainment), which should allow us to keep on track for a spring start on production. Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing (Jesus Camp) and Laura Poitras (My Country, My Country) may be first up, with Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me, Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? ) and Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, Taxi to the Dark Side) following.
INTOXICANTS
It was an emphatically beer filled time last weekend in San Francisco. Me and my mystery guest went up to Toronado, one of the best beer bars in the world, and Russian River in Santa Rosa, one of the best small microbreweries around, plus a cavalcade of others all along the way.
Back home, I'm having a beer tasting of my own this weekend, so it's finally time to dust off some rarities from the cellar.
I have a good amount of special releases and brews you can't normally find out here lined up, plus (since I live for the stuff), an array of fancy schmancy pretentious cheeses.
and, courtesy of my friend Babette, some homemade cheesecake to pair with the richer dopplebocks and dark chocolate or vanilla laden Imperial stouts.
Alas, the one person I want to taste beer with will not be here, but hopefully this will be the last time that's the case.
Update:
You can all rest easy - beer, cheese, and cheesecake was successfully consumed.
Here I pontificate on the unexpected sourness imparted onto the Lost Abbey Amazing Grace Belgian Dubbel by aging it in Sangiovese red wine barrels. You can't tell, but the atmosphere here was absolutely electric.
INTOXICATS
This feline is drunk.
