About Me

Public Enemy No. 1Intrepid Tribune blogger Sarah Linn watches everything: movies, television shows, viral videos, even birdies and inanimate objects. She has looks, smarts and remarkably poor eyesight due to a lifetime spent squinting at flickering screens. Don’t cross her in a knife fight.

  2. Sarah is the shay-hizz! Though when I googled “she likes to watch” I certainly got some interesting results. Luckily it’s me, and I wasn’t stalled clicking those other links.

  3. Hi Sarah. I’m Scott(teacher turned bartender guy from Jeopardy tryout). I really had fun meeting you and I dig your writing(you have yet another fan). Hope to see you around. Have a lovely day.

  4. Thanks, everyone! Keep reading!

    Cheers, Vicki Leon

    My dad, Clark Howard, (cousin of Aunt Shirley) forwarded the newspaper link. Awesome! Wish i could meet all of the Howard cousins. Sorry, not much to do about the blog . . . Live here in Hawaii if you come this way. Aloha, Marianne

  7. Hey Sarah! You look so pensive in that photo. 🙂

    Looks like you’re doing well and having fun in SLOtown. I have a new blog too (http://77square.com/arts/blog/aisle/). Of course, it’s completely local to Madison, but still. Bloggers unite!

    From one blue state to another,

    Hi Sarah,
    I met you at Bree’s graduation party this weekend. Had a great time and thought I’d check out your blog. Cool.

  11. Keep doing what you’re doing my friend. Very good perspective.

  12. Dear Sarah,

    My documentary will screen at the SLO Arts Center in September. Do you review documentaries? Please let me know if you’d like a screener.

    Here’s some background:

    Robert Adanto’s debut feature-length documentary film, The Rising Tide, explored China’s meteoric march toward the future through the work of some of the Middle Kingdom’s most talented photographers and video artists, including Wang Qingsong, Cao Fei, Xu Zhen, Yang Yong, Chen Qiulin and O Zhang. Shot in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen in the summer of 2006, this unflinching and incisive study captures the confusion and ambiguity that characterize the new China. “An often surprising and thought-provoking documentary,” wrote WICN’s Mark Lynch, “The rest of us better make an effort to grasp what their work is about, or get out of the way. An “eye-opener” in every sense of the word, if you are an artist, curator or art teacher be sure to catch this film.”

    The documentary premiered at the United Kingdom’s China Now! Festival as part of Constant Stream: China 08 at the Royal College of Art Helen Hamlyn Centre in London, where it screened with a film by acclaimed Chinese director Jia Zhangke. The film has also enjoyed screenings at The Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, The Smithsonian Institution’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC, The National Center for Contemporary Art in Moscow, The Worcester Art Museum, and The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum in Miami. The film was also featured at The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, screening in conjunction Shanghai Kaleidoscope, an exhibition curated by Christopher Phillips of the International Center for Photography in NY, and was an Official Selection of The Cape Winelands Film Festival in Cape Town, South Africa. In May of 2009, the film screened in association with Mahjong: Contemporary Chinese Art from the Sigg Collection at the Peabody-Essex Museum in Salem, MA and at the Hong Kong International Art Fair, where Mr. Adanto participated in Asia Art Archives’ Backroom Conversations series. In June, the film was screened in conjunction with The China Project at The Queensland Art Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, Australia and The Works Art and Design Festival in Edmonton, Alberta. In October of 2009, the film will screen in association with Reversed Images: Representations of Shanghai and Its Contemporary Material Culture at The Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago and at the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt, in conjunction with Art for the Millions: 100 Sculptures from the Mao Era.

  13. Just wanted to let all the entertainment junkies know that there’s an interesting (and FREE!) production of “The Fantasticks” in Paso Robles, sponsored by the City, in Centennial Park’s outdoor amphitheater and under the stars. There are two shows of the production on Friday, Sept. 18 and Saturday, Sept. 19. They both start at 6 p.m. Seating is on a grassy knoll. Bring picnic baskets!

    Sarah–
    Is your Mother’s name Jerri Ann Linn? You look so much like her-we were very close friends from first grade–through high-school.

  16. Hello Sarah,
    Thank you for expressing interest in my blog. Unfortunately, I was away for the break, and was unable to update it. Now that I’m back, I am prepared to resume my blog posts.
    I would like to tell you that I am extremely honored by your offer, and would like to contribute to the Tribune for movie-related coverage. I will (hopefully) have a rather easy quarter in spring, so I could go cover events etc, although movie reviews are what I like to do the best.
    Please contact me directly to my mail address, and we can discuss further.
    Also, I am sorry, but for the moment, I do not know of anybody who would be interested in doing this. I will tell you as soon as I find a candidate.
    Again, thank you for this opportunity.

    Love your blog…can’t wait to hear more from you!

  20. Hi Sarah, this is Tom Stroup, one of the hosts of NBC School Pride. I was just forwarded your comments on our upcoming show. I wanted to personally thank you for the kind words. Being a part of this program has been a very revealing experience for me. It reinforced what i always knew, people are good and want to help. The show does expose the “state” of schools in America, but for me it was more about the people. I made friends that i stay in touch with on a regular basis. I considered it an honor to be a part of their lives. It has been a life changing experience and i wanted to let you know that i appreciate your opinion….Thanks again….tom
