Nine Lives, a night out

Rodrigo Marquez, son of late/great Gabriel Garcia Marquez, recently completed his film Nine Lives

Last night we took dad out on the town. We spend the evening at The Loft, watching Nine Lives, a moving film by the son of the Nobel Prize winning author/poet Garbriel Garcia Marquez.

As I'm 3/4th the way through 100 Years of Solitude, it's a glimpse into the story telling tradition in genetic terms.

Before the film, we stop in at Heart-Five for a drink, empty and quiet. After the film we settle for a at O'malleys bar, overwhelming 5-screen wall of TV sports and news like a tsunami of distraction from the tradition of conversation, so well grounding in my family.
