Thank you San Francisco for all the gifts: real avocados; the Northern California landscape; natural hot springs; resorts that give ‘Tender is the Night’ vibes; all of the wine; an excuse to wear printed kaftans and sandals; my tan; overpriced room service; underpriced Laotian and Chinese cuisine; friends I adore; and bookstores for days. And especially this special moment captured in front of City Lights Booksellers with Siglio and Rivers Institute for Contemporary Art & Thought’s first publication ‘Troy Montes-Michie: Rock of Eye’—a dream come true for me, a life-long book lover. @indianspringscalistoga @palacehotelsf @citylightsbooks @followriversinstitute @sigliopress @troymmichie @jbradharris @tigheflatley
