Mutant house finch observed

I've recently been observing a house finch with an orange-y crest, as opposed to the usual carmine.

Threat or menace?

7/15: MICHELLE RICHMOND author event (haight ashbury)

Hey, Michelle writes good!

MICHELLE RICHMOND
talk & booksigning for "No One You Know"
Tuesday, July 15 at 7:30 pm

Michelle Richmond dazzled readers and critics alike with her luminous novel "The Year of Fog." Now, Richmond returns with an intensely emotional, multi-layered family drama - a woman’s search for her sister’s killer that spirals into a journey of secrets, revelations, and damaged lives. "No One You Know" is a novel about the stories and lies that strangers, lovers and families tell - and the secrets we keep even from ourselves.

Michelle Richmond is the author of "The Year of Fog," "Dream of the Blue Room," and "The Girl in the Fall-Away Dress." Her stories and essays have appeared in Glimmer Train, Playboy, The Oxford American, and elsewhere. She has been a James Michener Fellow, and her fiction has received the Associated Writing Programs Award and the Mississippi Review Prize. A native of Mobile, Alabama, Richmond lives in San Francisco.

This Booksmith sponsored event will take place at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco). For further information, call 415-863-8688 or visit www.booksmith.com If you can't attend this event and would like to order a signed copy of the author's new book, please email or phone our store.

Full Grown Men: local indie film opens in SF 7/25

Hey, I'm helping out some friends, even made a token investment!

FULL GROWN MEN opens in San Francisco on July 25 at the Lumiere Theater on California Street at Polk.

Full Grown Men is the 2007 Sundance Channel Undiscovered Gems Audience Award Winner, and stars Matt McGrath, Judah Friedlander, Alan Cumming, Amy Sedaris and Deborah Harry.

Advance praise for FULL GROWN MEN:

-- A lovely, bewitching film with a lot on its mind. A beautiful, delicately
-- A very funny,very tough-minded film... as entertaining as the wine tour in
-- Brightly contemplative and wholly believable. See the movie - it's worth
-- A "Sideways" style humanistic odyssey, directed with abundant care

Opening Weekend success dictates the fate of this terrific independent film.

Buy tickets in advance!

(set date to 7/25)
