non attendance events

(how cool is this?)
there is a part of me that wants to travel to miami basel and experience that SOME DAY.

and then there is a part of me that just wants to look at the slideshows and live vicariously through the people that are already there.

i feel the same way about burning man.

sanchioni

bikeshopsigns

zach & i are pimping out our local bike shop, and finished our many projects this weekend! I will put before & after pics up - once they hang the "shop hours" sign.

i'm really happy with the way things turned out. making signs is a lot like knitting - you have to be OK with making progress, and then re-starting midway. i can say with confidence that each sign was re-painted at least twice... so anyway here are snippets from our sign handywork:

Morning fog

alternative cartographies

i had a really interesting sunday afternoon. i was the photographer at the headlands art institute. i've been wanting to get involved with them, so it was very fun for me.

here is the full set through the headlands flickr page.

after the event, i drove around the headlands. this was the view:

2 times

this is the second time i've asked someone out on the fly, and they are going to hawaii the next day.

what is up with that state.

timelapse night sky

i love this couple. i hope someday they get featured in "bay area power couple" or something like that.

her husband documents the tropical plants growing, and it looks like she took over the camera to capture the night sky.

spend some time watching.

turkeymax

one my best friends stuball jones has exquisite taste in music.


his max roach post from today just gave me an idea for thanksgiving.

doesn't this just make you want to stand around while the turkey is cooking, and start drinking gin & tonics? its on my list of things to do this thanksgiving.

ode to olivia

i love my friend olivia. i stayed at her place on 24th st. for a couple of nights this past weekend. she is a teacher at NYU, and is a:

on the way to her office


view from her apt. window.


view of her freezer... gotta love new yorkers. her fridge makes up for it because that is where she stores all of her fancy cakes & baked goods from fancy places...

nyc subway wooden benches

i read an article (that i cannot find now...) about the MTA replacing all wooden benches with new steel benches. since i really do not have a say in the process, i thought i'd take a picture of some of the wooden benches i encountered during this trip. i'm sure by the time i get back to new york (cross your fingers for feb!) these wooden benches will be long gone...... who really knows tho. anyway. my ode to le bench de wood. :)

emptycards

if you are a parent, never send your children a card with nothing in it.

sure. cards are great.

but cards with something in them is greater.

preferably cash........ but if you don't have any cash on you at the moment, how about a stick of gum?

s&s

I went to a beautiful wedding on Sunday up in Healdsburg (one of my favorite little places in Sonoma). The people getting married were my friends Stephanie & Sean. This is the second wedding I have attended where the people getting married are named Stephanie & Sean - altho with the first Stephanie - she actually goes by anie - but her formal name is Stephanie (hi anie!). So anyway. it was awesome.

There is something about declaring love in front of a room filled with your favorite people. I used to be ho-hum about marriage, but now i'm back on the big wedding wagon. Its so powerful to declare your love & commitment to someone, in front of your "people". amen.

Here are some random pics.

this is Stephanie. I met her when I worked at Castle Grayskull.


This is Stephanie & Sean cutting their cake.


i wore a gray silk blouse with a black skirt. the really really really loved my necklace.


table setting. her colors were orange & white. nice change! i loved that!

giants success

relief

i was relieved when i wake up this morning and realize that my scalp is not wanted by the mexican mafia for accidentally witnessing a drug-lord scalping in the next skyscraper over from my hotel window........

what a relief.
