'Clueless' actor revisits the film's legacy 30 years later in SF

"It was the release party of the second issue of the San Francisco Review of Whatever, a literary magazine with an anything-goes ethos, aiming to showcase both the ephemeral and the eternal elements of life in San Francisco. Edited by Elisabeth Nicula, the pieces ranged from a philosophical treatise on skateboarding in San Francisco ("I Feel Safe in San Francisco," Rod Roland) to an account of breast milk pumping at a tech conference ("Mama Mammalian," Sophia Wang)."

"A highlight from the magazine that went unread during the session was a scene report from BFF.FM's Amanda Guest on the sense of unity currently coursing through the SF music scene. And for good measure, there's a delicious (and actually achievable-sounding) recipe for a tomato salad with balsamic pearls. Nicula picked readers at random from the roster of contributors, so that no author read their own work. The playful round robin element helped lighten the mood on the more high-brow pieces, and an icy tub of Modelos didn't hurt either."

Fogcutter returned after a brief absence with recaps spanning literature, lowriders, a "Clueless" event, and live theater outings, including an editor taking their mother to a musical. About 100 literary-minded attendees gathered in a stark white Mission room for the San Francisco Review of Whatever release party. The magazine embraces an anything-goes ethos and features pieces from a philosophical treatise on skateboarding to an account of breast milk pumping at a tech conference, plus music-scene reportage and a tomato salad recipe. Readers were picked at random to avoid authors reading their own work, creating a playful round-robin atmosphere aided by an icy tub of Modelos.
