Caught in the act! / Jennifer Garner wears Greenaway

by Doug LeMoine on 8 August 2008

File this one under: Holy crap. It has come to the attention of the tabloid-reading world that Jennifer Garner was seen wearing red barrettes! But, wait, there’s more. A certain barrette-making friend of ours made them. By hand. In San Francisco.     This is from Just Jared, and I must say: If the blog [...]

Yeah / Yoshi’s Gourmet steez

by Doug LeMoine on 5 August 2008

A couple of weekends ago, I visited the site of an Airstream trailer that Yoshi and I shared outside Stinson Beach, California. The trailer is long gone, but the spot is still the same: Overlooking the Pacific Ocean on a scraggly lawn at the end of a farm road. We spent many a night sitting [...]

Check, Please / Behind the music (and wine)

by Doug LeMoine on 5 August 2008

I always meant to write about my close encounter with public television fame  —  the only kind that’s worth pursuing, if you ask me  —  but somehow I got waylaid by summertime, its various parties and good ol times. But I’ve got a sec, so I should just spill it before the good times take hold again. Time spent combing [...]

I live inside your television

by Doug LeMoine on 11 April 2008

You may recognize me from somewhere, somewhere like YOUR TIVO. Pretty much the only thing the director told me: “Don’t look at the camera.” Dang. More on my explosion onto the local public television restaurant-reviewing stage sometime soon; until then you can check out my episode of the Check Please Bay Area here.

Luxe life / Animal drawings at the Fairmont

by Doug LeMoine on 26 January 2008

Last Friday night was just another night in the penthouse of the Fairmont Hotel for Mara and I. We relaxed in seal-skin robes, shuffled around in baby polar bear ear fur slippers, snorted the finest powdered snow leopard pancreas, fed Kobe beef to the pigeons who delivered the New York Times piecemeal in tiny scrolls [...]

Clare Rojas at Gallery Paule Anglim

by Doug LeMoine on 7 September 2007

Lots of intriguing stuff at Clare Rojas’s opening at Gallery Paule Anglim tonight. Woodland creatures, naked dudes in tai chi poses, an excellent video of Peggy Honeywell playing a slow sad song at a raging frat party filled with beer bongs and keg stands, Amaze, Barry McGee, and much, much more. Worth it. I call this [...]

756 / I was there

by Doug LeMoine on 20 August 2007

I’ve said it before: I don’t like Barry Bonds. So it may seem strange that I wanted to be there when he hit home run number 756. But consider this: I love baseball; the record for career home runs is, like it or not, one of baseball’s hallowed milestones; Bonds plays in my city; the [...]

San Francisco / Maps and earthquake shacks

by Doug LeMoine on 29 May 2007

This weekend I got an incredible book about San Francisco called San Francisco in Maps & Views. I usually avoid glossy coffee-table historical books because they’re so often filled with disappointments  —  bad color, bad printing, messy layout, uninspired writing, PLUS they’re really expensive. But THIS ONE. This one is different. The maps are very well-reproduced, high-res [...]
