At the end of the year I had planned for a three month sojourn in Oklahoma City... where I could spend quality time with my friend Hattie as well as knuckle down to do some serious writing.
When Hattie (who plays the contractor in Mismo) decided to leave San Francisco two years ago, I drove across country with her and helped her get reacquainted with her home town. We enjoyed going out in search of what we deemed civilization... yoga studios, organic produce, wine bars, gay nightlife... any nightlife! While we never found one vibrant hub that offered all, we had a swell time exploring and Hattie assures me that she has since discovered plenty of cool people doing interesting things. I was really looking forward to the change of scenery and had already reached out to fellow indie filmmakers who I was looking forward to hooking up with. Alas...
What's that saying about what happens while you are busy making plans? Oh, yeah, life happens, and to quote the Scottish Bard who's birthday is coming up, January 25th, "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft agley" , which is another way of saying, here I am still in San Francisco, albeit across town enjoying a different view.
A snapshot taken on one of my neighborhood jaunts... looks like the Haight, feels like the Haight... except it's North Beach.
And for your viewing pleasure a souvenir of our road trip from 2 years ago:
