The Magic Man Is Back!

There's nothing like taking a little stroll through the park, trying to get more pictures of bees and ducks (which I did, but that has to wait), when you get a text message from your friend to find out that he's been written up as the Top Pick in The Examiner. And not only that, they used one of your photos! Nature Interruptus, but I don't mind.

For those of you who have missed my earlier posts about Christian Cagigal and his creepy cool magical world, his new show "Now and at the Hour" is playing for 10 weeks at The Exit Theatre. The theatre's website is here, and you can read Christian's blog here.

If you're local, Christian's show is so worth going to see. He creates such an original, entertaining and clever environment. And there's no pulling rabbits out of hats and dorky stuff. This is cool ass magic. Tell him Tangobaby sent you.

And because I can't help it, and because I still love this photo shoot so much, I credit the guy again because he got me started taking portraits of people in the first place. Thanks, Christian, and I'll see you at the show.

My Name In Lights

Well, not really.

But it is in print! My first real printed photo credit! Yippee!

This pretty much erases my Rumplestiltskin impersonation today and the futile attempt to find a green terrycloth bathrobe.

Christian Cagigal's new show, Now and At The Hour, previews at The Exit Theatre this Friday before he takes it to the Frigid Festival in New York at the end of the month. The Pandora Experiment will be a hard act to follow, but if anyone can exceed himself, it's Christian.

Try to see him if you're in San Francisco or New York. I am! Tell him Tangobaby sent you.

More details about tickets, etc. are on his blog.
