Andy Warhol Live at the DeYoung. I Saw It. Hey what’s up. I got back last night from my rad trip to San Francisco , where I had the time of my life nonstop for five days, taking only short breaks in the extreme fun-having for tiny bouts of sleeping.

Some of you (having read my most recent post) may recall that I journeyed to the west coast last Thursday to attend the Bartmizvah Palooza of Griffin Sloves .
