New Finds
Today, Ryan and I went to the APE con (Alternative Press Expo)where I discovered many excellent artists.
I recognized a few people there (and I apologize for lack of photos of the event - I didn't even think of it.. I was too wrapped up in experiencing it) But I am most excited about the few who stood out to me out of the hundreds of booths.
Ken Garduno
Tom Haubrick
I was excited to learn that both Ken and Tom are in a show at Gallery 1988 next week. The opening is on the 7th and I will certainly be attending =)
One last find:

This year for Halloween I went as Princess Mononoke. Only about 4 people recognized who I was, which I suppose isn't that surprising, but I was surprised by how many people had never even heard of any of the more recent Miyazaki films.
On the way back from helping my friend with her animation, we stumbled across the Virgin Records store on Market which just so happened to be hosting a free Yelle concert.. ! It was so awesome. She didn't get to perform for very long, about 20 mins or so, but it was great. She did some acoustic versions of a few songs and it was really good. She can sing really well - a lot better than most performers I've seen live.
possibly one of the funniest signs I've seen.. ever
cool truck I saw on the street

Weekend Fun
I thought I'd take a moment to blog about what I've been up to in SF and share some photos with the few of you who read this particular blog. This weekend was quite eventful, which is always good.
My friend Brandon from Rookie of the
Year was in town and playing a show at the
Red Devil Lounge, which incidentally is located just a few short blocks from my place. ROTY arrived in town early, so I met them to wander around the city. They decided they wanted to explore the Golden Gate Park, so headed in that direction, and then proceeded to drive around and around and around in circles for a good 1/2 hour or so looking for a parking spot big enough for a giant van and trailer.
The Golden Gate Park is enormous, so we naturally didn't get through all of it, but it was nice to escape from the city for an hour or so. The boys decided it would be nice to get to take a shower before the show, so I took them back to my studio apartment, where they surprisingly all managed to fit.
The show was fun. A line up of The Ability, ROTY, QuietDrive, and Mest It was good to go to a show again.. I don't remember the last show I attended. I'm not even going to try and guess.

The next evening didn't go exactly according to plan, but I had fun regardless. Another friend from high school and his band came into SF to play a show. We, (my friend Hayley and I) arrived a little late, and I didn't take any photos. We wanted to hangout with him afterwards, but his gf was also in town, so Hayley and I decided to let them have some much needed alone time. The following band, who's name I didn't catch, was fucking terrible. Ever song sounded like they were trying to be a different band. It went from Tool to 311 to Incubus to Sublime to actually covering a Tool song back to 311... we decided to leave about 1/2 way through their set. Hayley and I ended up downtown at a quiet bar, had one drink, then decided to call it a night.
Saturday was an excellent day. I attended the much talked about Red Bull Soap Box Race in Dolores Park, with about 3 thousand other people. I actually have no idea how many people where there, but I gander a guess at about 3 thousand. I couldn't get close enough to see the actual runway, but there were large monitors in a few different areas of the park so I could see. It was very entertaining indeed. The best, of course, were the crashes. I must find out how to enter these Red Bull races and build a car.. anyway, here are the highlights.
Ryan came home that afternoon after a business trip to Washington D.C. The week of stress, flights, and time changes left him exhausted, so we decided to take it easy. But we did make a trip to the Castro to enjoy the best sushi ever. Honestly, if you're ever in SF - go to the Castro and find Miyabi. You won't be sorry.
Today was another fun day. We took a journey to the SF Zoo. It was a bit chilly today - 50's and cloudy, but it was still fun. Except, take out the screaming kids all over the place, and then it was awesome.
