Candice is still loving life AND her students at Marina Middle School. The basketball team had a "learning experience" of a season, but still managed to finish above .500 at 5-4, which was very commendable. Next year (provided no eligibility issues surface) she should have a very talented and experienced team to take to battle. In the meantime, Candice's coaching reputation is getting so large in the community that she is now the head coach of a San Francisco Second Grade Team. They don't keep score, but they have lots of energy. It's clear that WBNA general managers will be knocking on our door any day now to bring Mrs. F-D's coaching exceptionalities to a professional team. David has officially resumed his studies at UCSanta Cruz and it is going smashingly well for the first two weeks (before any major papers are due I guess). I should be finished with all my undergraduate work and my senior thesis by Fall 2002 (December), a wee ten years later than planned. By the way, does anyone have any contacts at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts? I am trying to figure out some sort of work study/internship possibility for the spring relative to their theater/film/whatever areas and looking for any possible names. Back at UCSC, my Tuesdays and Thursdays are marathon days, but I've got excellent cheap tofubeansrice eats at the Oakes Cafe to get me through the day with enough energy. It's hard to be there "only for school" and not get to enjoy the incredible environment of Santa Cruz as I have wall to wall classes--but I guess that's the appropriate reality of doing this ten years late!!! I'm grateful for the opportunity to focus on my education. Study/work all day and play at night. That's the current plan. But when we don't get enough studying done in the day or just have too much to do, we've got to study through the night. So our commitments to most everything these days are tentative (and reduced in general), but we still go a bunch and we encourage each of you to venture out to anything that sounds appealing, and call (925.937.2290) or email us if you want to meet up before or after! On to the potential activities: http://www.ftloose.org/women/women.html http://www.sfstation.com/theatre/marsh.htm The next two shows at the Marsh look really interesting too, a new Charlie Varon experiment, and Mark Kenward's piece, The Yoga of Moby Dick. http://www.sfstation.com/film/fineartscinema.htm The SF Indie Fest is coming 1/31-2/10 and it's all over bay area theaters,
but without much "commercial" help this year. Definitely looks
to be some interesting stuff so check it out. March 7-17th will be the Asian American Film Festival in SF, Berkeley,
and San Jose. Usually a lot of interesting films there. If you're interested
in volunteering, check out If you like French films, you can rarely do better than Eric Rohmer,
and they are showing a whole bunch of his for a while at the Pacific
Film Archive in Berkeley. And they continue to have other amazing series
of films you can see nowhere else. JONATHAN RICHMAN update: After visiting about fifteen states in the month of February, Jonathan will be back home for three shows at the Make-Out Room 3/31, 4/1, and 4/2. If you RSVP now, we'll commit to the night you suggest and if it's your first JR experience, it's our treat. Indigo Girls at Slim's on 2/15. Glenn Yarbrough will be at the Amador Valley Theater in Pleasanton
for those of you interested in hearing one of the smoothest voices ever
live. http://www.sfsketchfest.com/sfsf.html Comedy group sketch festival--we hope to go to one night of this before 1/27, but this mention is especially for an infamous film editor who loves live comedy. The American Astronaut by Cory McCabe and The Billy Nayer Show is coming back to SF but Candice does not want to say where it's playing. Laurie Anderson is at Zellerbach Auditorium in March and it's way past time we saw her live. Anyone know how to get an ushering gig there? The Good War and Those Who Refused to Fight It was on SF PBS this past week and I screwed up my videotaping of it--I did not videotape this past Tuesday. If it's on the PBS station in your area and you are able to videotape it, I'd be thrilled. http://www.pbs.org/itvs/thegoodwar/ Similarly missed...Tim Booth has officially ended his tenure as the voice of the band James...hope he will produce other work that makes its way to California. Couldn't fly to England to see the farewell tour, so hope the DVD comes out and does the tour justice! The much-acclaimed lead performance in the short documentary film "COACH"
did not qualify for this year's Sundance Film Festival; however, we
promise to have a big screen screening of "COACH" at 30 View
Lane in the very near future. Combine with an outdoors game playing
kinda day. If you have a preferred weekend day for this kind of activity
in the near future, please Time to go read about 700 pages. Peace and Love and NO MORE AOL, Candice y David http://www.commondreams.org/ - our favorite site to remind us to begin to have a clue |
