- Screen capture or cut-and-paste of copy of note sent to Eden Arielle Gordon in New York, regarding Mekas, “Pull My Daisy” and “New American Cinema”, July 24, 2019 — along with link to article in The Times, by Bruce Weber;
- Screen capture of texts to Steve Cohen, Eric Cohen and Brian Moore, or a text and a link.
- Note: Jonas Mekas born in Lithuania in 1922 was not a Jew nor was he an anti-Semite.
- I volunteered for Anthology Film Archives — delivering the program guide to hot spots — for about (or two bout) a month in February, 2001, while living in Brooklyn, at Jenny Scheinman’s flat, while she was on tour in Europe, a few months before the fall of the World Trade Center.
- John Mhiripiri donated a copy of Film Comment from 1965 or so, to an art auction at Smith Anderson in Palo Alto when Paula Kirkeby hosted Gail Price and I, running for City Council; The magazine had a cover story about a controversial, perhaps banned film about heroin users.
- I remember the staff would sit around a round table in the old courthouse and affix mailing labels while re-runs of “Law and Order” was half-screened (“half-watched”?) above us as we sat, the tv on a rolling cart. I can hear the characteristic scene-changing tones, of that show. (As contrasted with the discomfort I felt trying to watch my first Stan Brakhage there, then; the silence.
- I spoke to John but did not see him when Terry and I visited New York in September, our honeymoon. The first night I ran ahead, back down Second Avenue towards Ian Schrager’s The Public, after pasta, with another couple, to duck into the lobby of Anthology Film Archive. I spoke briefly with the box office man — and mentioned by brief history there — grabbed a program guide and dashed back to rejoin the group, two couples, huddling in an awning’s (space) comtemplating a strategy against the rain (apparently no one else thought “movie” — later on I contemplated paying $10 even for 10 minutes of the program, a screening of a student film, of which I had sussed on the net). A younger me would have gone for it, the end of the film, by an unknown or fledgling director.
