I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

And no, it wasn't for the tenth Harry Potter book, as a gawker on the street wondered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, fans congregated at 12:01 a.m. to get their hands on a copy of \"A Dance with Dragons,\" the fifth book in George R.R. Martin's \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://georgerrmartin.com/\">Song of Ice and Fire\u003c/a>\u003c/em> fantasy series, which you may be familiar with through the HBO's series \"Game of Thrones,\" based on the first novel. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I read all of the available books in the early 2000s and like many fans have been pining, impatiently, for more. Some others have been waiting since the series began in 1995 and have followed each of Martin's \u003ca href=\"http://grrm.livejournal.com/\">blog posts\u003c/a> in hopes he'd stop discussing football, and maybe, you know, finish the damn book. Others seemed more hopeful about its completion, pre-ordering way back in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can't wait another minute for this darn book!\" said Maria Pacana, at Borderlands last night. She figures she can read about 300 pages a day in hopes of finishing the 1,000-plus-pages tome before Friday. Co-existing with her excitement was a little anger about the six-year wait.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's an aging and somewhat portly man, and I'm a little bit concerned that he won't finish the series,\" Pacana said. \"I'm so afraid he's going to leave me hanging.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George R.R. Martin might have been better off not promising that \u003cem>Dance\u003c/em> would come out a year after the fourth book was published, in 2005. \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/04/11/110411fa_fact_miller\">Fans\u003c/a> took the promise to heart, and have heaped so much vitriol upon the author online, that other writers, like Neil Gaiman, felt it necessary to \u003ca href=\"http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2009/05/entitlement-issues.html\">come to his defense\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps it's the curse of being popular. The first four books in the series have sold 8.5 million copies in the U.S. alone. About half of those were purchased as the first season of the HBO series aired.

Part of OSF’s insanely ambitious cycle of history plays, “American Revolutions,” this piece fuses the intimate and the epic with riveting results.

Why should George Moscone’s story be told, and why is that only a small piece of this story? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s actually the subtext of the entire play, the fact that he has been suppressed in the national consciousness, but also in the consciousness of the boy, the man, the son in the play. A lot of the play is about the fact that he’s repressed the kind of mourning that would keep his father alive for him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I think we as a country, we don’t mourn past a certain point. Back in the 1970s when this all happened, it turned pretty quickly into the 80s and Reagan, and the city of San Francisco grew exponentially; developed so fast and it changed its look and face forever. I think what started to submerge is the need for progressive politics, the definition of progressive politics as a necessary response to a status quo that had been running the country. Now progressivism is an extremist term. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone2etchsketch.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On the connection of a particular scene to his life as a boy\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone2etchsketch.mp3|titles=moscone2etchsketch]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>I went to therapy when I was a kid, before my dad died, actually, and not after. Because I thought he was going to be killed, and I used to freak out and not want him to leave the house. So I remember going to a therapist, and one time I brought my Etch A Sketch with me…no, it was a Spirograph, but that’s not an easy prop to get on and off stage and to act with. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The iconography of this child’s life in the ’70s was the Etch a Sketch, the OP shirt, the watching “Thunderbirds are Go: on TV. That was my childhood. If I were to do any story of a child, I would probably reference those things. The Etch a Sketch was also his way of connecting to a reality that existed before his father died. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca>\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone3.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On the main character’s self-hatred, and on his grandfather\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone3.mp3|titles=moscone3]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>…The character of Jon uses Dan White’s gun, the .38 Smith & Wesson, to motivate him into killing off a part of himself that he hates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is that part? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a hundred things. One of them is his self-hatred as a gay man. His anger at losing his dad. The part of himself that’s protecting himself. There’s a line in the play where Jon admits he always thought it was his mother who was trying to protect herself from grieving so she could hold on to her husband. But he realizes he’s the one that’s been holding on. And the boy right from the beginning is not going to let go. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That seeps into the character, so that 33 years later, what the character has done is create a kind of a shell of a human being that has a lot of self- motivated anger and cynicism and bitterness and incapacity for intimacy, and all that is in the body of a self that needs to be killed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that is embodied theatrically by his grandfather, whom he doesn’t recognize as his grandfather, because — as in my story — he never met his grandfather. In fact none of us met my grandfather. He was excised from my parents life from when my father was very young. We never talked about him. All I know about him is that he was a prison guard at San Quentin. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it might be an apocryphal story about him — but bringing my dad to San Quentin was one of the instigating reasons for my dad’s very strong stand against capital punishment. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone4tombstone1.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On the privacy of pain and the issue of his father’s tombstone\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone4tombstone1.mp3|titles=moscone4tombstone]\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>What Tony’s done in the play a lot is taken stories that I told him and almost like a psychiatrist translate them into a dramatic idea. Tony asked me what the name of my grandfather is. I answered it, and he called me and said “you’re wrong.” I said “really? I had no idea.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s about owning your own. It’s so private, so private, and someone gets inside of your own privacy, which is so insinuating. But what else are you going to do when you’re not accessing him. Jon refuses to meet (the character of) Basil, so what else is Basil going to do? He ‘s going to spend hours online researching him and his father. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a site online called findagrave.com. For real. People can actually find a grave and read a grave site. It’s like people who slow down and watch accidents. Why are you watching other people’s pain? Why are you watching that happen? Why are you investigating it? It’s not yours. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I finally admitted today, as I was looking at the grave site in the play, that I used to be much like Jon’s character, kind of angry at my mother, thinking it was inappropriate that it was a small, regular tombstone in Colma. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I finally admitted that my mother was onto something. It was kind of a classy move on her part to not erect a statue like Eva Peron or something. It was just about the family. He’s got a parking garage and a convention center and a couple of delicatessens and a park named after him. And the place where he died is just about us losing him. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone5memory.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On his lack of knowledge about his father\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n[audio:http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone5memory.mp3|titles=moscone5memory]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>There’s a certain jealousy of the character, toward others who perhaps know his father better.

Part of OSF’s insanely ambitious cycle of history plays, “American Revolutions,” this piece fuses the intimate and the epic with riveting results.

Why should George Moscone’s story be told, and why is that only a small piece of this story? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s actually the subtext of the entire play, the fact that he has been suppressed in the national consciousness, but also in the consciousness of the boy, the man, the son in the play. A lot of the play is about the fact that he’s repressed the kind of mourning that would keep his father alive for him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I think we as a country, we don’t mourn past a certain point. Back in the 1970s when this all happened, it turned pretty quickly into the 80s and Reagan, and the city of San Francisco grew exponentially; developed so fast and it changed its look and face forever. I think what started to submerge is the need for progressive politics, the definition of progressive politics as a necessary response to a status quo that had been running the country.

One of them is his self-hatred as a gay man. His anger at losing his dad. The part of himself that’s protecting himself. There’s a line in the play where Jon admits he always thought it was his mother who was trying to protect herself from grieving so she could hold on to her husband. But he realizes he’s the one that’s been holding on. And the boy right from the beginning is not going to let go. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That seeps into the character, so that 33 years later, what the character has done is create a kind of a shell of a human being that has a lot of self- motivated anger and cynicism and bitterness and incapacity for intimacy, and all that is in the body of a self that needs to be killed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that is embodied theatrically by his grandfather, whom he doesn’t recognize as his grandfather, because — as in my story — he never met his grandfather. In fact none of us met my grandfather. He was excised from my parents life from when my father was very young. We never talked about him. All I know about him is that he was a prison guard at San Quentin. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it might be an apocryphal story about him — but bringing my dad to San Quentin was one of the instigating reasons for my dad’s very strong stand against capital punishment. \u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2011/07/moscone4tombstone1.mp3\">\u003cstrong>On the privacy of pain and the issue of his father’s tombstone\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Tony asked me what the name of my grandfather is. I answered it, and he called me and said “you’re wrong.” I said “really? I had no idea.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s about owning your own. It’s so private, so private, and someone gets inside of your own privacy, which is so insinuating. But what else are you going to do when you’re not accessing him. Jon refuses to meet (the character of) Basil, so what else is Basil going to do? He ‘s going to spend hours online researching him and his father. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a site online called findagrave.com. For real. People can actually find a grave and read a grave site. It’s like people who slow down and watch accidents. Why are you watching other people’s pain? Why are you watching that happen? Why are you investigating it? It’s not yours. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I finally admitted today, as I was looking at the grave site in the play, that I used to be much like Jon’s character, kind of angry at my mother, thinking it was inappropriate that it was a small, regular tombstone in Colma. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I finally admitted that my mother was onto something. It was kind of a classy move on her part to not erect a statue like Eva Peron or something. It was just about the family.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Sacramento had ruled that the law violated minors' rights under the First Amendment, and the high court agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No doubt a state possesses legitimate power to protect children from harm,\" said Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the majority opinion. \"But that does not include a free-floating power to restrict the ideas to which children may be exposed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California law would have prohibited the sale or rental of violent games to anyone under 18. Retailers who violated the act would have been fined up to $1,000 for each infraction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 46 million American households have at least one video-game system, with the industry bringing in at least $18 billion in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike depictions of \"sexual conduct,\" Scalia said there is no tradition in the United States of restricting children's access to depictions of violence, pointing out the violence in the original depiction of many popular children's fairy tales like Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella and Snow White.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hansel and Gretel kill their captor by baking her in an oven, Cinderella's evil stepsisters have their eyes pecked out by doves and the evil queen in Snow White is forced to wear red hot slippers and dance until she is dead, Scalia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certainly the books we give children to read — or read to them when they are younger — contain no shortage of gore,\" Scalia added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Justice Clarence Thomas, who dissented from the decision along with Justice Stephen Breyer, said the majority read something into the First Amendment that isn't there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The practices and beliefs of the founding generation establish that \"the freedom of speech,\" as originally understood, does not include a right to speak to minors (or a right of minors to access speech) without going through the minors' parents or guardians,\" Thomas wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law was written by \u003ca href=\"http://dist08.casen.govoffice.com/index.asp?Type=B_PR&SEC=%7BEFA496BC-EDC8-4E38-9CC7-68D37AC03DFF%7D&DE=%7BEDF8FFFC-E59F-48D6-9C59-7E2B4345D18D%7D\">State Sen.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Sacramento had ruled that the law violated minors' rights under the First Amendment, and the high court agreed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No doubt a state possesses legitimate power to protect children from harm,\" said Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the majority opinion. \"But that does not include a free-floating power to restrict the ideas to which children may be exposed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California law would have prohibited the sale or rental of violent games to anyone under 18. Retailers who violated the act would have been fined up to $1,000 for each infraction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 46 million American households have at least one video-game system, with the industry bringing in at least $18 billion in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike depictions of \"sexual conduct,\" Scalia said there is no tradition in the United States of restricting children's access to depictions of violence, pointing out the violence in the original depiction of many popular children's fairy tales like Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella and Snow White.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hansel and Gretel kill their captor by baking her in an oven, Cinderella's evil stepsisters have their eyes pecked out by doves and the evil queen in Snow White is forced to wear red hot slippers and dance until she is dead, Scalia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certainly the books we give children to read — or read to them when they are younger — contain no shortage of gore,\" Scalia added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Justice Clarence Thomas, who dissented from the decision along with Justice Stephen Breyer, said the majority read something into the First Amendment that isn't there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The practices and beliefs of the founding generation establish that \"the freedom of speech,\" as originally understood, does not include a right to speak to minors (or a right of minors to access speech) without going through the minors' parents or guardians,\" Thomas wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law was written by \u003ca href=\"http://dist08.casen.govoffice.com/index.asp?Type=B_PR&SEC=%7BEFA496BC-EDC8-4E38-9CC7-68D37AC03DFF%7D&DE=%7BEDF8FFFC-E59F-48D6-9C59-7E2B4345D18D%7D\">State Sen.
