Gay Bashing at the Smithsonian
Frank Rich has a great piece from this Sunday's NY Times about the Smithsonian's censoring of the David Wojnarowicz video from their current show Hide/Seek. Frank Rich has been such a vocal supporter of LBGT rights over the years and is always spot on with his political analysis. He is certainly one of my media heros and I look forward to his column every Sunday.

David Sena
I met David Sena at the Rising Dragon Tattoo Shop in Chelsea about ten years ago. He has done three separate pieces on my arms and leg and since opened his own shop called North Star in the East Village. He is incredibly skilled at making tattoos and is world renowned in that field. He also happens to be a pretty amazing artist whose work is primarily on paper and involves the use of fireworks. I have one of his 3 dimensional pieces and it is simply beautiful. David currently has a show up in Greenpoint and I strongly suggested checking it out.

Clifton's
While I was visiting LA last month - I stopped by my favorite cafeteria Clifton's. Clifton's is the oldest style cafeteria restaurant in Los Angeles and is a kitsch lover's dream.
When I used to live in downtown LA (in the historical theater district) Clifton's was only a couple blocks away. It was a place I would always take my friends and family when they came to visit. I wanted to get back there to make some proper photos and share them here. If you live in or are visiting LA I would recommend getting there soon, as the cafeteria was bought by a developer from the original owners and is going to be made all fancy sooner then you can say mac n' cheese...
