NEIL YOUNG

"The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"

I found myself in the Tenderloin rather early on Saturday morning. In the apartment, at least one wall was a strange shade of aquamarine. No one in the room seemed to be friends, at least that's what I thought at the time. The floor was beautiful, awesomely aged wood that I photographed. The renter, when pressed about his rather nice stereo equipment, related a story about a $38,000 settlement for an accident he'd been in, saying, "how else do you think I could afford this place?" He wore a tank top and had long hair.

Later, maybe, I took a picture of a Back To The Future movie poster, but I think that was from Saturday night. I can't remember. It reminded me to start a list of DVD's That I Really Should Own Or Have Owned And, For One Reason Or Another, Lost, But Should Really Get Again:

• Back To The Future
• Waking Life
• Fletch
• Donnie Darko
• Brick
• JFK
• Tron
  
• Gummo
• Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
• Existenz
  
• Alice In Wonderland
• Purple Rain
• Stop Making Sense
  
• Meeting People Is Easy
  
• Fantastic Planet

In some ways I think owning these things would make me a better person.

IRON AND WINE

Another raw, delicious San Francisco weekend. Robert Plant! Spaghetti! Supperclub! Spank Rock DJ set! Elvis Costello! Iron And Wine! Rock Band! Coffee! A few good sandwiches! Nearly enough sleep!

I took this picture just as the band began playing "Black Dog" on a banjo. This was, in that moment, the happiest dude in SF.

This dog was a trip, man.

Turns out Frijtz makes a killer open face vegetarian sandwich. Ingredients: Good bread, pears, chipotle mayo, cheddar, avocado, some sort of vinaigrette.

The highlight of Supperclub was the nine minute club mix of Smashing Pumpkins "Zero" mixed into MIA's "Paper Planes." These guys know what I'm talking about. Also, this place has beds instead of tables! And firebreath dancers! And comfortable leather chairs in the bathroom!
