Learning to love the blog
One of my favorite quotes about the journalism biz comes from Jerry Seinfeld: "It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper."If only that were true. We editors are often reluctant scythe-wielders, forced to cut perfectly good stories that just won't fit in the paper. There's a reason to learn to love the blog: we can use it to add in things from time to time that didn't make the print edition.
Case in point: I ran a blurb in this week's paper about Palo Alto artist Anthony Montanino and his exhibit of paintings at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, but I didn't have room for the pictures. Pity, because his urban and suburban landscapes have an intriguing style to them: sometimes jazzy, sometimes eerie. (Word has it Madonna owns one of his paintings.) So I've included two images here.
Montanino's exhibit runs through April 24; here are the details.
Pictured: Top: "Donut World II," a 2005 oil on paper. Above: "Allied Arts IV," a 2005 oil on canvas. Both are by Anthony Montanino.

You indicated that you will be looking at the arts scene. What about the literature scene?

As a ridiculously avid reader, I have to say "sure." I do tend to leave a lot of the Weekly's literature coverage to my colleague Don Kazak, who writes our monthly Title Pages section. But I'll be keeping an eye out for local book stories that pique my curiosity as well. Thanks for the comment, Anne!
