I've been trying to track down the nuns for quite some time now.  I keep randomly running into them.  I'm really hoping to get an "official" interview with some of them in the near future.  The Sisters devote themselves to outreach, community service and ministry through joy, beauty, humor and wit (and, doubtfully, chastity).

For now, this gives you a funny look into the personalities behind the organization:

I ventured out to Chinatown in San Francisco yesterday, thinking it was the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.  I was a day too soon, but still found plenty to capture on video.  I was particularly struck by how American culture has infiltrated Chinatown in so many ways but also by the ways in which the community is still very much its own place.  Check it out:



It is also on YouTube, here.

Keep an eye out in the next few days for another full length video of my interview with Heidi, a pretty amazing woman from San Francisco with great stories to share.

Toto, we aren't in Kansas anymore.  This is a good thing, as you're about to see.  Today's random video features my brother driving my VW R32 in... you guessed it, Kansas.  The video begins in the middle of a discussion about just how that curious Dog Whisperer gets those cute little puppies to do his bidding and becomes even more amusing as it goes on.  So, here's why it isn't a good idea to drive 100 miles per hour (or more) on a Kansas highway, complete with a candid moment with the person you might unfortunately meet if you engage in that bad idea.  Hint: the bad idea has nothing to do with poor gas mileage.



If you can't get the player to work, check out the video on YouTube.

Thanks for watching.  I plan to post a random short video on every day that I don't have a "full length" video project to post.

That's right.  I drove past Patricia's Green in Hayes Valley earlier today and came a cross a fun group of folks, about 15 in all, having their own hula hoop party.  I sped home and came back with my video camera.  Somehow, the hula hoopers led me to meet members of San Francisco's Imperial Court, who led me to the Aids Emergency Fund's Annual County Fair (full video coverage to come soon).

The County fair led me to...

the mechanical bull.

This is our story.

I had the joy of experiencing the love, energy and pride that was the Castro victory celebration of the California Supreme Court's ruling that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry.  Here is a video I created to give everyone across the world a chance to share in our celebration and to capture this momentous moment in civil rights history that will echo around the world.

I ran to the Castro last night to capture the California same-sex marriage decision celebration on video.  My video isn't ready yet but I met a cool guy who has been video blogging for a few months on gay activism and community.

My video isn't ready, but he has a great video up on his youtube site, which I highly recommend.  I borrowed this entry's title from him; you can find the video here:

I've also uploaded it.  I also am a video star for about twenty seconds in the video, in two places no less.  Awkward to see myself on video.

Look out for my video, including an interview of him, hopefully this weekend!
