A few updates

First off, everyone should go see Of Equal Measure at the Kirk Douglas. Tanya Barfield and Leigh Silverman are not messing around. Plus it has one of my favorite L.A. actors, J.D. Cullum (who was too much fun to see as a border guard in Weeds last week), and Michael T. Weiss in a smarmy role. He's fun to watch, although to me he'll always be Dr. Michael Horton on Days of our Lives, even if he doesn't list it in his bio. And Michole Briana White is wonderful. Go go go.

In other news, I saw Chris and Don: A Love Story, on Tuesday night. It was nice, and it kinda made me want to live in Santa Monica so I could see Don Bachardy riding his bike all around. It also made me want to get a digital cam-corder; all that footage of him and Isherwood together was so nice, even if it did make me a little seasick with the handheldness of it all. What it did not make me want to do is assign lovey-dovey anthropomorphic caricatures to my relationship with JW that would be ready for animation in the event that there's a documentary about our life. To each his own, of course, but I think that would give me the creeps.

While we're on the subject of gay movies, of course Outfest is in full swing, so I've got tickets to five movies so far, with a couple more possibilities on top of them. If I can get my act together I'll do a little posting here about what I see.

And JW's getting our Bowl tickets today, I think, and then there's Independent Shakespeare at Barnsdall Art Park, and who knows what else? I'm getting tired just thinking about it.
