WILLIAM and Mary

Posted on: April 28th, 2010 by wmapother 4 Comments

The  Int’l Mercury Expo at the College of WILLIAM and Mary this past weekend went off without a hitch.  Yours truly gave a talk Saturday night on the importance of social activism and volunteerism to (mostly) students.  Afterward, your intrepid blogger answered their questions about his activities, acting in Hollywood, and ‘Lost.’  It was a wholly fun evening, even if neither I nor they learned any more about what’s lurking in your dental fillings or tuna sushi.

The student paper’s interview is here.

San Fran, Part Deux

Posted on: April 24th, 2010 by wmapother 4 Comments

My  birthday in San Fran was spent first at the farmer’s market at the Ferry Bldg (left),


and then taking a ferry across the bay to Larkspur in Marin county, where we docked right next to San Quentin (right).

As we got ready to take off, I stood at the back of the ferry and asked some guy who appeared to have half a brain to take a shot of me.  This was the result.  

However, the above was his second shot.  When he got ready to take the first shot, I noticed his finger placement and started to say something.  His response was to cut me off and assure me, “Don’t worry, man — I got this.”   Here’s what he got:

Later went hiking on Mt. Tam with some not-sucky views of the city.  (Note:  This is not from my iPhone, which wasn’t quite up to capturing the distance shot..)

MediaBlvd Magazine has printed an interview with me about Ethan and that show.    In it I do a lot of yapping (note to self:  get to the point!).  The interview is here.

Oh, Mercury!

Posted on: April 22nd, 2010 by wmapother 1 Comment

This weekend I’ll be in lovely Williamsburg, VA on the campus of William & Mary.  The occasion is the 2010 Int’l Mercury Expo, subtitled ‘A hazard without borders.’  I’m scheduled to speak to the acting students (poor things) at lunch on Saturday, and that evening I’ll be talking to student and the public on social activism.  The schedule is here, the school calendar page here, and the Facebook page for the event is here.

San Francisco Treat

Posted on: April 17th, 2010 by wmapother 4 Comments



For those who lost sleep last night worrying about my emcee’ing the Epidemic Film Festival awards show, you may now rest your tired eyes.  It went off without a hitch.  The event was a blast and the students’ work was terrific.

As today is my birthday, I declare it a day of fun and rest for the nation.  I will spend it roaming over San Francisco in absolutely gorgeous weather.

For no reason other than I took them, I’ve decided to include some photos from the last couple days in the City by the Bay.

The first two are of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade Memorial, and the second two from the Cable Car Museum.

Sadly, I couldn’t get a good shot from my window of the revolutionary rally (complete with red t-shirts) in Union Square, although I heard random cries of “pelosi!,” “not gonna take it!,” and “san francisco treat!”
