Greetings one and all. A tough week as we continue to shelter in place as fires continue to rage across the Bay Area and beyond. I hope these few fun things may provide distraction and levity, just for a little bit. Grateful to the first responders for their heroic work and praying that those in the line of fire escape safely and are able to return to their homes soon. I'll kick off with ways you can help today. We are ALL in this together!!

MOVIE: STAGE MOTHER
Set in the glitz and gritty reality of San Francisco, new film Stage Mother stars Oscar nominee Jacki Weaver, Lucy Liu and Adrian Grenier. It follows a church choir-mistress from Texas who inherits a drag club from her long-estranged gay son. This camp romp is full of heart and laughs, the brilliant, witty script penned by San Francisco screenwriter Brad Hennig. I know what I am watching tonight. Check your video on demand VOD services to download. Stage Mother is available NOW.
