Harold and Maude

I went to see Harold and Maude for the first time at the Castro Theater tonight. It was a fantastic film!
There was an interview with Bud Cort after the show. Needless to say, it was awesome.

Quote:
Harold: I love you. I love you!
Maude: Oh, Harold… That’s wonderful. Go and love some more.

Slow Food

∇ Category:Art, Events and Culture, Epicurean Delights, Health and Fitness | → 0 Comments |

I recently become a member of Slow Food.  Slow Food is an idea, a way of living and a way of eating. It is a global, grassroots movement with thousands of members around the world that links the pleasure of food with a commitment to community and the environment. It is about improving health, building community and making sure everyone can eat well.

Like language, food is a foundation of most cultures. In the US we have lost the pleasures and benefits of slow food for the efficiencies of fast food. By such we are loosing our culture and a connection to our community, our family ties to the daily rush. Some of my most pleasurable experience with friends and family is taking time out to dine with them.

I highly recommend checking out Slow Food USA.

San Francisco Muni now offers a bus service the exclusively brings people to and from museums within SF. The new line is called the 74X CultureBus. It started this past weekend (Sept. 20, 2008) and runs daily departing about every 20 minutes. It does however cost more money than a standard Muni ride ($7 for adults or an additional $3 for monthly Fast Pass customers).
