I'm afraid I'm just going to have to reduce this weekend to laundry list format. Too much stuff!
-Lots more music, both raucous and beautiful, at Ghost Town Gallery for the Diamond Days fest.
-The 3 show at Gregory Lind Gallery, including awesome work by Ernesto Burgos, Kyle Ranson and Derrick Snodgrass. There's a giant fabric and bleach piece by Snodgrass that is particularly mind-blowing, and I dare you to tell me how he did it.
-The first and third films of Jean Cocteau's Orphic Trilogy at SFMOMA. I appreciated the director's early attempt to explore the thought processes of a poet through a variety of surreal landscapes in Le Sang d'un poète (Blood of a Poet), but I thought the later Le Testament d'Orphée (The Testament of Orpheus) was a lot more sly and fun, with Cocteau appearing himself alongside the likes of Pablo Picasso and characters from Orphée (Orpheus).
-The supreme cuteness of Feist at the Greek, with Sasha. Besides the gorgeous music she had these shadow projections being done live behind her that were so so cool: waves created by fingers dragged through ink, an erupting volcano, sparkling lights. Such a great show.
-Delicious (and deadly) post-concert Sazeracs at Cesar.
-Zachary's pizza, a visit from Patrick and a lot of laughter in honor of Sophie's 9th birthday.
