Hey, look at SA on the Book Bench!

The New Yorker takes note of S.A. Griffin’s poetry bomb on its book blog, the Book Bench.

Go SA. Go Book Bench. Go poetry. Go bombs. Oh, wait….

While I was out

paperhaus February 13th, 2009

An orchid book appeared in the LA Times. And it’s one my dad worked on! So yesterday, and this morning for a while, on the books page there was a link to something I wrote and to something my dad had worked on right next to each other. His name is only on the book in the small print, so the 2 Kelloggs on the books page at once was both invisible to the naked eye and entirely serendipitous.

Above, one of my dad’s orchids in his Florida greenhouse.

Technically, I haven’t been out at all. Just busy.

How cute is this?

cecil castellucci at skooby's

So a bunch of us went to Musso & Frank’s for a martini, then across the street to Skooby’s for a hot dog. We see that they’ve got one framed thing on the wall - it’s a picture of Cecil’s book Beige with an excerpt (about, of course, Skooby’s) and WE LOVE CECIL CASTELLUCCI! in big letters. We’re all like Hey, Cecil, that’s your book! She was like, Oh my god! That’s me! That’s about when this photo was taken.

Still, they made her pay for her hot dog.

Hey, you. New girl.

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S to YA author Cecil Castellucci on the launch of her first comic book, The P.L.A.I.N. Janes. It’s the debut of the new DC Comics series Minx. It looks so good because of artist Jim Rugg. And right this minute, it’s on the front page of the NY Times online.

Go directly to jail

paperhaus August 2nd, 2006

My friend Andrew Takeuchi went to jail with Morgan Spurlock for 30 days this spring and the evidence is now a free download on iTunes.

Spurlock has a TV show called 30 Days; Andrew was the Director of Photography for the 30 days that Spurlock spent in jail, which will be the season’s grand finale. Although Andrew got to go home most nights, he was there in the jail with the camera the whole time. iTunes has a "making of" download where Andrew gets to be in front of the camera, too — it also includes lots of the jail footage he shot.

Bonus: In an interview about the show, Morgan Spurlock calls David Letterman a "strapping lad."
