-Draw in a sketchbook

-Smoke a joint

-Drink a rum & coke

-Eat a slice of banana cream pie from Mission Pie

-Listen to a Leonard Cohen song

-Visit his garden at SOMArts

-Get a cup of coffee at Muddy’s

-Look for hidden meanings or images in a tortilla

-Look at something in 3D

-Get your favorite non-profit arts administrator stoned

-Remind yourself that art can’t always pay the bills but it can soothe the soul in a way that’s priceless.

I’m grateful for your post and remembrance suggestions. They string together like a poem or a Leonard Cohen song. I’m lighting a candle for René and listening to Penguin Cafe Orchestra and Danna Devotchka…
