Passenger and Pilot

A couple of my dear friends are in this band called Passenger and Pilot. Beautiful instrumentals and voices. They will be at Viracocha this Tuesday night. Come check them out!

She Fancy

You wouldn't know it by this picture but this gal has been through some rough times. It's ok. She still enjoys a nice glass of wine while dining out in the city!

Dirty Beaches

This weekend I had the pleasure to visit the Clift Hotel with my friends to go see one man band Dirty Beaches. It was a great show, awesome guy to see live and a total hottie! As my friend Rebecca describes him, "a japanese James Dean with a voice like Leonard Cohen". Again...hot!

Love Affair

After an epic weekend in Big Sur I had to immediately reblog this from my friend over at The Peony Project as we shared beautiful and hilarious moments together in this gorgeous state. Despite everything I'm a pretty lucky fellow.

One Last Weekend

Finally a Bike?

Over the years of living in SF I have been uninfected by the bike fever that seems to spread like wildfire, especially among everyone living in the Mission. I have nothing against bikes, just that pretentious, I'm so cool with my fixed gear attitude that is such a turn off. Maybe bikes are in San Francisco what cars are to folks in LA.
Also I have to admit after so many years of being an avid pedestrian, biking around the city, although it would open up whole new worlds, kinda scares me a bit.

My friend Adam did find the perfect bike for me though. Tricycles are tricky to pull of because they can either make you look extremely retarded or just be a little too much. This one is the perfect combination of cool and cute. I want!

Pier 24 Photography

Yesterday was a pretty good day. One of the adventures of the day was going with some friends to Pier 24. There's a relatively new art gallery there dedicated exclusively to photography. It's quite the visual feast as it's apparently one of the biggest spaces in the country dedicated only to photos. A must for anyone who is interested in this medium.

"Pier 24 was built in 1935, and is located just south of the Ferry Building in San Francisco. Vacant since 1980, the Pilara Foundation is the first to inhabit this historic space in nearly three decades. After two years of remodeling and improving the space, while retaining its original historic integrity, the Pilara Photographic Collection is now housed in the 28,000 square foot gallery warehouse. The design of the building straddles the line between storage and exhibition space, while maintaining an inherently gallery-like aesthetic. The scale of the space allows for the vast collection to be displayed with little restriction, and the location off the Embarcadero promenade, directly underneath the Bay Bridge, provides for a breathtaking panoramic view of the Bay. Pier 24 embodies respect for the original use and intention of the building, pays homage to a remarkable collection of photography, and reverence for the stunning landscape of the Bay Area."

Exceptional Work...Check it!

I just came across my friend Francesco's blog and website showcasing some of his amazing work. Originally from Italy, now residing in the Mission this talented guy is definitely one to look out for. This was evidenced recently at show at 111 Minna that I got the opportunity to attend and witness the sales of most, if not all of his work, which was by far some of the best and most intricate work in the gallery. The work above speaks for itself. Go Chiste!

Someone made these deliciously enhanced lollipops for Pride this year. Lickable.
