Lovefest 2008

Like a bad Burning Man flashback, the Lovefest squad paraded slowly (and very audibly) throughout the streets of downtown San Francisco this past Saturday afternoon. Oh the glitter, oh the flashing lights, oh the unrelenting techno music! We caught a quick glimpse while walking along Market street on our way to the Ferry Terminal...

Is it Saturday, yet?

I have no desire for this work thing, this week. I just want to go home, read my book, drink some coffee, and look good.

Macro

In honor of my one-year anniversary, I bought myself a new lens. I'm finally back in my element.












... and more.

Crooked

Located in Jack London Square in Oakland, Heinold's First and Last Chance Bar is small (but cozy), historic (open since 1883), and thanks to the 1906 earthquake, it's a bit on the slanted side. Needless to say, staying seated at the bar is a bit of a challenge!

Anniversary



One year ago today, I moved to San Francisco.

(It was the best decision that I have ever made.)

Boards of Canada



"Dayvan Cowboy" -- a band with song that calms me down.

Happy talk like a pirate day!

From an email my co-worker sent me:

What's a pirate's favorite beer?

Answer: Trumaaaaaaar!

(Perhaps that one required a familiarity with this area? I thought it was pretty funny.)

Wish you were there!



hot days
cold nights
sandblasted
sunburned
dry-cracked-skin
scratched feet from tripping on rebar
large cut on finger because Swiss army knives are sharp!
hair... shaped like a gigantic dreadlock
B.O.
goggle dents
dust coated teeth, nasal passages
bruised arm from sleeping on top of flashlight

still smiling.
