Summer Time

Ah, summertime. The days are sunnier, warmer, and longer and thankfully so, since there’s so many fun and exciting things to do. We’re taking this time to relax, think about Retro, and hang out on the rooftop with a kiddie pool and a grill.

Oh, we’ll still be posting, just not as regularly. We’re going to use this free time time to the fullest. And like the kid who gets a summer project to take back to school in the fall, we’re going to be doing lots of thinking about how to bring you a re-vamped, re-energized, and re-envisioned Retrospective.

From all of us at The Retrospective, have a great summer.

A New Doctor for a New Generation

Doctor Who is the property of the BBC

What a challenge! Cast a 27 year old in an iconic British role usually filled by a 35-40 year old experienced British actor. That is the challenge that Steven Moffat and the new writing team of Doctor Who have put in front of themselves. Already I’m a fan of this new Doctor portrayed by Matt Smith who showcases an old soul of the classic Doctor’s like Tom Baker but the brash attitude of a young punk rocker.

FROM THE KLAX: We Ride At Night x Gallery Heist

April 27th, 2010 by Gitamba Saila-Ngita
Respond

We Ride At Night, the creative collective founded by Jason Vivona, Brian Henderson and Matthew Izen, has their sights set high. From t-shirts to skatedecks, this ambitious group has amassed an impressive array of artists to create imaginative, humorous, and all-around striking work centered around the ever-evolving world of skateboard culture. A newcomer to the San Francisco art scene, Gallery Heist played host for the kick-off party of the group’s inaugural namesake show. And just like their name implies, this show won’t be around forever; it closes Wednesday, April 28th.
