“We felt it was necessary.” In this not-huge show, 14 photographs relate to Orlando, well making the point: history as continuum.įrom the opening Saturday, June 18, we walked over to the Castro for Frameline’s showing of the comedy “Pushing Dead.” I couldn’t help eavesdropping on the conversation of the gentlemen sitting next to us: David Young and Donald Bird, about to celebrate 50 years together, talking about their plans for Pride. “We moved things around,” said Grant Rusk, who prepares the photos for the exhibition. Tuesday, June 14, by which time everything in the exhibition had been planned, photos of the demonstration in the Castro following the Orlando massacre were submitted. Attention Anglophiles: The date of the talk coincides with the British vote on staying in the European Union.Īmong the mostly historic photos at the Harvey Milk Photo Center’s “LGBTQ Chronicled: 1933-2016,” the newest ones were most chilling. Literature-loving Wreden writes that on Thursday, June 23, to mark the 400th anniversary of the death (actually May 3, 1616) of William Shakespeare, Stephen Grant will talk about his book “Collecting Shakespeare: The Story of Henry and Emily Folger,” at the S.F. After ascertaining that would-be renters are Irish students, he wrote, Berkeley landlords are telling them that they have no room.

Wreden forwarded a one-year-later story by Joe Leogue of the Irish Examiner, who wrote that Irish students planning to come here this year are finding it difficult to find places to live. We wouldn’t want to spend a whole evening singing “Volare.”Īt the recent Bay Area Book Festival, Bo Wreden attended the panel “May the Road Rise Up to Meet You: Ireland and the Nurturance of Its Writers,” which was billed as “a tribute to the Irish students who died or were injured in the Berkeley balcony collapse.” That collapse occurred on June 16, 2015, a few days more than a year ago.īefore the panel, which included well-known (“Brooklyn,” “The Testament of Mary”) novelist Colm Tóibín, and Irish writers Sara Baume and Belinda McKeon, Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates spoke about new laws with higher construction standards, and someone from the Irish Consulate read the names of the students and called for a moment of silence for them.

What if to test that, he posited, you started showing porn, in alphabetical order, to an infant? There’s so much around, he said, that years into the experiment, the day the infant turned 50, he still wouldn’t be past “anal.” Maybe there’s too much porn around, he said in one of his opening forays, so much that there doesn’t need to be any more made, ever. The crowd waiting for him to take the stage was primed for him relaxed and in command, he delivered. Hint to fundraisers, film festival planners and organizers looking to add brown and black hair to the usual sea of gray and bottle blond: Make them laugh.Īnd that’s just what Louis C.K. The crowd was mostly young, multicultural, enthusiastic, just the target group every cultural producer in town hopes to attract. The lights were dimming as we arrived, and the place already was a-roar.

The show ended around 9 p.m., and we rushed over to the second part of the evening: Louis C.K.
