We got a couple hours of sleep a night, drank copious amounts of cheap wine, saw the premiere of <em>No Country For Old Men</em> and stole a taxi from Harvey Weinstein. It was the best of times, it was… pretty much just the best of times.</p>http://balltillifall.com/post/50493347911http://balltillifall.com/post/50493347911Wed, 15 May 2013 07:57:21 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/82820b0aea9875fefd4041942f614fa3/tumblr_mmsvfyeUCk1qz5otxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Shooting a video with the amazing tattoo artist <a href="http://www.amandawachob.com/" target="_blank">Amanda Wachob</a> today.</p>http://balltillifall.com/post/50431548504http://balltillifall.com/post/50431548504Tue, 14 May 2013 13:02:00 -0500tattootattoosartistsart<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/45596f45fb60f3a14a9578ab15dcfb1d/tumblr_mmsi67riWX1qz5otxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Very proud to be from Minnesota, the 12th state in the country to <a href="http://www.startribune.com/politics/statelocal/207313571.html" target="_blank">legalize gay marriage</a>. </p>http://balltillifall.com/post/50417897507http://balltillifall.com/post/50417897507Tue, 14 May 2013 08:15:43 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ab590aaa6e9036f5362f74e478f4e37d/tumblr_mmshf3B1xK1qz5otxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>What I Read: <em>Will You Please Be Quiet, Please?</em> by Raymond Carver</strong></p>http://balltillifall.com/post/50417269355http://balltillifall.com/post/50417269355Tue, 14 May 2013 07:59:26 -0500bookswhat i readraymond carvershort stories<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a9e98cc48b65fc6b99ab964a0da2d456/tumblr_mmpxuh839O1qz5otxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I won a White Castle scented candle tonight at Bingo.

It was an interesting look at American cinema in the 70’s and the madmen and women that populated it.</p> <p>The most interesting part for me was reading about the personal and professional crises these filmmakers went through. Finding out Scorsese considered himself a failure even after having made <em>Taxi Driver, Raging Bull </em>and<em> The King of Comedy</em>, how Spielberg, Coppola and George Lucas had periods of self doubt and creative misery even after having had some of the highest grossing films of all time. </p> <p>There’s something kind of perversely reassuring in hearing about the struggles of these masters during their heyday. It makes you realize that your own personal struggles and insecurities are ok and normal.</p> <p>I also compiled a list of about twenty films from that era that I need to watch.</p>http://balltillifall.com/post/50174116020http://balltillifall.com/post/50174116020Sat, 11 May 2013 11:15:45 -0500what i readbooksfilmfilmmakers<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0c17d52a920a22df5710199cf45636be/tumblr_mmn4wtBceU1qz5otxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The Rain Room opens tomorrow at MoMA, can’t wait to visit this.</p>http://balltillifall.com/post/50171729987http://balltillifall.com/post/50171729987Sat, 11 May 2013 10:41:17 -0500artmomanew york city<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7ef9b28dd002d902d09d66cc91f81cc1/tumblr_mml2q6vYGy1qz5otxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>People in New York: <em>Stories We Tell</em> opens today at the Angelika and Lincoln Plaza and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
