By Aaron Gold (and friends!) One of the things I want to be clear about with my TV show Don’t Mind If I Don’t is that the goal is to convince me to like the subject, not prove/disprove it’s usefulness or validity. Psychics is a great way to demonstrate that, since I truly do not care how real it is. So with that in mind, let’s see if you can learn to enjoy learning about us learning to enjoy psychics. Enjoy this interview with the cast/crew and watch the full episode below!
Who’s who: Aaron Gold: Creator, co-host Christine Stoddard: Co-host, art director Tom Dunn: Director Jacob Maximillian Baron: Director of Photography, editor

As my boyfriend once teased me, most people spent quarantine making bread; I made a movie. He isn’t wrong, though it is what a cinephile like me would call a modest attempt. My first feature, an ultra-low-budget indie called Sirena’s Gallery, was born during the pandemic. It went from grad school musing to artist residency proposal to fever dream solo production. At some point, I went from rotting in my bed, fretfully watching live footage of an empty Times Square, to deciding I wasn’t going to give up on my dreams. Now Sirena’s Gallery is streaming on Tubi, Amazon, Hoopla, and other platforms, with more soon joining the mix. You can buy it on Blu-Ray–and from Wal-Mart of all places.

My main criterion for a date night craft activity is this: Is it fun? Close second and third: Will it bring us together? Is it achievable? After all, a date night is more about getting to know a person or, for long-term couples, keeping that flame aglow. It's not about perfection or making a museum-quality work of art. While, my partner, Aaron Gold (whose name you may recognize from other Quail Bell endeavors), and I enjoyed our first-ever ceramics foray together at Pottery 1 Studio in Brooklyn, NY, we have a couple of caveats.
Pluses: We had a somewhat intimate atmosphere, with one instructor for us and another instructor/couple trio on the other side of the studio. We had more than enough instruction without feeling overwhelmed, and we were allowed to bring whatever snacks we wanted. The activity was definitely intro level, meaning we had enough time to accomplish what we wanted. We certainly learned a thing or two and got to clown around with each other, too. Minuses: The activity was not the most conducive to eating and drinking. Clay is messy, so we really had to get to a point in our respective pots—we each made one—where it was safe to start reaching into bags and crunching and chewing. There were no snacks available for purchase. Due to the physical properties of clay and the studio's process, we had to wait a month before we could come back and pick up our finished pieces. On one hand, we loved getting to create and personalize our own pieces. We have different interests, styles, and abilities, so it's nice to fly solo in that sense. On the other hand, it would've been more romantic to make one piece, perhaps a more ambitious one, together. Overall, we rated this experience 4 out of 5 stars.

The couple that welds together stays together. Certainly, I felt bonded with my partner (and frequent collaborator/Quail Bell Magazine photographer) Aaron Gold the night we hit up Craftsman Ave. in Brooklyn, NY for the "weld a steel rose" date night. We entered this gritty workshop fully expecting to try something new and get our hands dirty. And by "we," I mean me. I hadn't given Aaron too many hints about our destination because I wanted it to be a surprise. Surprises make date nights all the more thrilling! He knew we would be doing a couples activity and I had warned him to wear sturdy shoes and old clothes. Nada más.

I had every intention of reviewing An-My Lê's "Between Two Rivers/Giữa hai giòng sông/Entre deux rivières" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. As my City College of New York sculpture professor Colin Chase once told me, I'm a "serious artist" and a "serious thinker." (He also called me Miss Thang, but that's another story.) Shouldn't I gaze upon this conflict related body of work and come up with something poetic about Vietnam and the U.S. military-industrial complex?
Thankfully, it is a sign of maturity to know when to excuse yourself from a task. Given that my visit occurred on my birthday, I decided to cling to the wisdom that one acquires by living another year. Rather than inundate myself with more thoughts of war-themed photography, I'd inundate myself with thoughts of conceptual art. So I opted for Ed Ruscha first and foremost during my most recent MoMa escapade. I needed escapism and humor, and "Now Then" is a big, honkin' retrospective. Did I see An-My Lê's exhibition? Yes, and the "Fourteen Views" installation juxtaposing images from Vietnam, U.S., and France was a chapel I hope to reflect upon another time. If nothing else (and there's a lot else), go see it for that. The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.
Comedian/actor/shutterbug Aaron Gold and I galavanted around the Maryland Renaissance Faire for its closing weekend last month—and what a smorgasbord! I flaunted my Queen Jaguar attire, but I gotta say, plenty of costumes outshone mine. No worries. A huge part of ren faire fun is gobbling up the wardrobe buffet. Take a gander at this gallery below for a couple of our favorites, including a whole-ass boat! Another indelible aspect of the ren faire experience: live shows. We adored Celtic Magic, a comedic medley of illusions and Irish culture performed by Daniel and Bella Green Wolf. Equally stunning (though tonally totally different): Knightwings, a birds of prey show that highlighted owls on the afternoon we caught it. We're already anticipating next year's revelry at the Maryland Renaissance Faire! May we see you there at all 27 acres of the festivities. RennFest.com
