“Starry, starry night. Paint your palette blue and gray.” The opening lyrics to a Don McLean song that introduced me to Vincent Van Gogh in 1972. Over the years, I’ve collected or been gifted many images from that painting – and other works of the storied painter. After attending Thursday’s press opening of Beyond Van Gogh, I now have a pair of commemorative socks and a keychain to add to my collection!

The “immersive experience” is a pricey ticket, but it’s such a unique way to see his works and learn about his life. You may want to make a stop at Lighthouse Coachella before you attend. Just saying…

And I look forward to seeing many of you in Idyllwild Saturday for “Pride Under the Pines”!

Enjoy this great weekend in #GreaterPalmSprings

Bros Opening Weekend

 

The groundbreaking romantic comedy Bros opens in wide release on Friday, September 30. This is the first time a major studio has backed a story written by a gay man, telling a gay love story with an all-LGBTQ principal cast. The premise: An “out and proud but also scared and self-doubting” New York museum curator (Billy Eichner) is hired to write a romantic comedy about a gay couple. Along the way, he meets—and eventually falls in love with—a “macho” lawyer (Luke McFarlane). Bros is now playing at the Mary Pickford Theater is D’Place and KGAY 106.5 has your passes when you enter to win on the KGAY Contest Page! Also playing at the Palm Springs Cultural Center and other local cineplexes.
