“when you shudder at how infinitesimally small you are,
remember:
space that appears to need nothing does crave,
as a matter of fact, an outside gaze,
a criterion of emptiness-of its depth and scope.
And it's only you who can do the job.” - Joseph Brodsky

The amazing Palace Theater in #Hilo celebrates its’ 100-year anniversary this weekend! So glad we’ve been able to join the eclectic festivities. It’s not only a Hawaiian gem, but a world rarity as a functioning, vibrant movie palace from the Silent Era. Here’s hoping for another 100.

I’ve spent the last 4 yrs writing the 1st complete biography on the 19th Century’s most elusive & successful international gentleman burglar. The media response to today’s inelegant smash & grab at the #louvre gives me hope it might actually sell…

Rare piece of good news: Siberia Bar is back! A favorite, hidden hang for me 25 years ago. Best eclectic juke box anywhere. (If I saw Bourdain there, I was too drunk to remember) www.timeout.com/newyork/news...

20 years ago, I made a kids sports TV pilot hosted by Muggsy Bogues. Never got bought, but I spent time w/a legit American hero. Not only is his sports legacy legendary, he’s also one of the best humans I’ve ever met. He has never, ever given up on anything or anyone in his life. Be like Muggsy.

Not sure how many folks know that Emily Post completed an early, arduous cross-country journey by motorcar in 1915, which she would chronicle in ‘By Motor to the Golden Gate’ before she launched her career in the etiquette arts. It’s a fun read.
