It’s time for summer reading! I’m so excited! I need suggestions – especially for memoirs and funny novels. A friend lent me The Starship and the Canoe and I kept remembering it was borrowed right as I was about to give it to other people. Plenty of good space/ocean metaphors in this one – it’s about physicist Freeman Dyson and his treehouse-dwelling son George, how smart they both are, and their various attempts to get far ouuuuttttt there.
Wow! Gold Party will be screening on May 10 as part of Rooftop Films’ opening night shorts program “This is What We Mean by Short Films.” Tickets are available here. I’m honored to take part!
Also that weekend, the movie screens at the Maryland Film Festival. Details here. Odds are high that this is going to be a good weekend (you could say “golden” weekend but I’m trying to stay away from gold-related, and/or weak puns).

I’m happy to say that Gold Party is screening at the 2013 Independent Film Festival Boston
This is a great festival and we’re really honored to be a part of it. Gold Party is part of Shorts E, which screens on 4/25 at 7:30 and 4/29 at 9:30. Tickets are now on sale here
I went out recently the Chicago Underground Film Festival – a chance to see new movies, to hobnob with the kind and the like-minded, and to visit niche tourist attractions. Gold Party won a jury prize at the festival – the “Americana Award“
(list of awards here)!
In keeping with that theme, here are pictures from Chicago’s International Polka Association Hall of Fame. The president of the IPA – no Reagan, but still – was nice enough to give me a ride to the airport.
