The Kid who would be King - Film Review


The Kid Who Would be King: [Film Review]

Saw the pre-screening for this movie "The Kid Who Would Be King" on Jan 19 though the article came out on Jan 22 in the Daily Cal.

Rode the BART to SF.  It felt really cool to sit in a specially reserved row meant just for journalists at AMC Metreon 16 in downtown SF.


Overhead this from 2 journalists who were chatting next to me. "I'm here only because it's a Joe Cornish movie. Otherwise, I'm not that interested in covering a kid's movie"

Save the Redwoods League - Local Event


Save The Redwoods League [Local Book Event Launch]

A local event that I covered. The launch of a new book on redwood conservation.

It was an Edgar Allan Poe kind of night - a thunderstorm was going on. Hard to even locate the bookstore in the pouring rain.

The place was packed nevertheless.  The room was milling with people around a table loaded with snacks. Another table nearby served wine. Only after the eating and drinking was done did the talk begin.

The result of the joint effort by Save the Redwoods League and Heyday was this remarkable book on coast redwoods. I learned so much.
