Wes Anderson and transcendental meditation

 solve the new Wes Anderson movie, the great Budapest hotel think that's what it was called.
Of course, it was fantastic. Thought it was funny how they use stylistic images from some of his previous movies especially moonrise Kingdom.
Took a walk from the Westfield through the tenderloin to the San Francisco transcendental meditation center. If, the equals tragedy and vice versa,  then the tenderloin is a rich tapestry of human drama.
Attended the introduction lecture about transcendental meditation and will be going to the class over this weekend.

New Orleans or the Bywater is the Portlandia of the Bayou

Just got back from my trip to New Orleans.
The conference was in the French Quarter.
But I decided to stay in a more authentic neighborhood so I rented a house.
The house was in a neighborhood called the Bywater. And the house was what was called a shotgun shack luckily they were more Star Wars figures than shotguns as far as I can tell. I arrived on Tuesday night on fat Tuesday. Amazingly that Tuesday is not a great time to be in New Orleans because a everyone is drunk and stupid and b  many places are closed.
I made a joke that if they wanted to film a southern version of poor land via the Bywater would be a fantastic place to film. My ride to the airport today, informed me that quite a few people moved from Portland to the Bywater and she is in the process of studying hipster/food truck culture.
