Last night I cleared my head by driving through rush hour traffic hell with hot babes from Los Angeles to Santa Ana to get to @thefridacinema.org to watch John Woo's HARD BOILED which always makes me powerful enough to lift a car with my bare hands.

Thanks, Frida. I love you.

Long before The Frida, its founder Logan Crow hosted Mondo Midnights at The Art Theater where movies would be accompanied by stuff like costume contests, musical performances, and Q&A’s. I was the official photographer and here are some shots from our Carrie prom in 2009!
