MY APOLOGIES FOR THE DEARTH OF NEW MATERIAL OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS BUT I WAS BUSY HAVING FUN IN THE CITY OF THE ANGELS. I REALLY MISS L.A. AND AM PLOTTING MY RETURN (IN THE WORDS OF JARVIS COCKER, "IT MAY NOT BE TOMORROW, OR EVEN THE DAY AFTER, BUT ONE DAY SOON..."). HOPEFULLY KENNY AND I WILL SORT THAT OUT OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS BUT WE ARE HAPPY AND WELL SITUATED HERE SO I REALLY CAN'T COMPLAIN. SPENT A COUPLE DAYS WITH MY DEAR FRIEND TOM HARTMAN AND HIS GIRLFRIEND CHRISSY (WHO I ABSOLUTELY WORSHIP!) AT THE BEST HOUSE IN L.A. © AND JUST RAN AROUND THE CITY EATING AND SHOPPING AND CUTTING UP. HAD A FAB DAY WITH TIMOTHY ARTHUR BRENNAN AND THEN SPENT SOME TIME WITH KIM LIGHT WHO'S BUSY PREPARING FOR THE IMMINENT OPENING OF "LIGHTBOX", HER NEW GALLERY. THE SPACE IS REALLY COMING ALONG AND I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS WHOLE VENTURE, IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD FOR ALL OF US! KIM'S GREAT AND DESERVES TO HAVE A HUGE SUCCESS. I'M CONVINCED IT'S ALL GOING TO FALL INTO PLACE FOR HER AND COULDN'T BE HAPPIER ABOUT IT! KIM AND I WENT TO A SCRUMPTIOUS DINNER AT AXE IN VENICE SUNDAY NIGHT HOSTED BY CHRISTINE NICHOLS (CHRISTINE USED TO RUN WORKS ON PAPER AND WILL NOW DEAL "PRIVATELY"). IT LOOKS LIKE CHRISTINE MAY BREAK GROUND ON HER NEW MAYA LIN DESIGNED HOUSE SOON. OTHER ATTENDEES WERE MARY GOODMAN, JIM WELLING, JANE WEINSTOCK AND THE OMNIPRESENT MAYNARD MONROW. WHEN IS SOME SMART PERSON GOING TO FIGURE OUT THAT MAYNARD IS THE MOST PERFECT DOCUMENTARY SUBJECT EVER?! I VISITED MY FRIEND RACHEL LACHOWICZ MONDAY MORNING, STOPPED BY LIGHTBOX WHERE I RAN INTO KIM DINGLE (WHO'S PAINTING HER HEART OUT AGAIN THESE DAYS) AND GOT ON THE FREEWAY JUST IN TIME TO MISS THE BIG BLACKOUT! I'D LIKE TO AD THAT IT'S ALL ABOUT AUDIO BOOKS ON THE IPOD. LISTENED TO CHUCK BARRIS'S "CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND" AND THE 5 AND 1/2 HOUR DRIVE QUICKLY EVAPORATED. CHUCK WAS WINDING DOWN JUST AS I CLIMBED OVER THE ALTAMONT PASS! I'M BACK IN THE BAY AREA NOW AND READY TO CONQUER THE WORLD! MORE TOMORROW, XO BOADWEE
