we went to the far reaches of the SF galaxy
yes, we went out to the avenues. aaaaaaaaalllllllllll the way out to 22nd + geary. it was quite an adventure, although made much more accessible to me b/c ert drove us there in her magic car! the original plan for the evening was to go hang with isaac+lisa, smoke, snack, and watch RED DWARF, but then ert got us on board, and i thought, i'm down, especially b/c of the company
after a bit of searching we found a parking spot and made our way to the skate-shop-cum-gallery. there were mega-folks there:
dude, they had sushi!
there were lots of great decks hanging up, and you can check'em all in the skate or die photo-album-thingie to the right. i only have shots of one of my two favorites. with all due apologies to PATRICK JILBERT, i could not get a shot of his deck. too many people around it to get a clear shot, and then i got swept outside and was too overwhelmed to go back in except to get some sushi later on when i was worried i might throw my own fingers in my mouth to chomp on them cuz i was so hungry...there's something about me and friday night where a proper dinner is never involved, even if i stay in...what's up with that?!?!?
the other favorite was, bien sur, POROUS WALKER. what an amazingly creative soul he is! gotta get his link up on the right, but for now you should go check www.porouswalker.com...SERIOUSLY.
i was completely stoked i got to hang out and swap words with Sir Masher of San Franpsyco
he was telling me all about his new position at work, and then all the personal stuff he's been doing post LEFT HANDED STORIES. dude, i'm so impressed with what he's been getting done and with his time management...damn! i got no right to be complaining about my dumb-shit job and how it's making me mental...gotta pull it together....
Lady Masher was there as well. she's also got a new job, and it sounds challenging and rewarding, which is a wonderful thing. i love eva's energy, to the point where i feel my own cells charging somewhat, just from being around her.
we can all clearly see that the beer had gone to my head at this point. WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?!?!? considering i'm the one holding the camera and taking the picture, so you'd think i'd know where i was supposed to be looking...HAH! anywho, i want to congratulate The Mashers on their official engagement. very exciting stuff! also, lygia, if'n you read this, i want you to know that eva and i toasted you and craig!!!! individually and collectively
lisa was also working on her blog while we were there
isaac was talking around, apparently with me at one point
ert was covering this show for one of her numerous endeavors (i think it was the SFist; gotta send back that interview, i'm such a friggin' slacker). at one point, me an lisa got all paparazzi on her ass:
and then, before she got all sean penn on MY ass, i got the winning shot of her glorious color combination (can i tell you how close to coveting that sweater i am?!?!?!)
i would also like to give the foonskillz a shout out on his engagement! i don't know why i didn't get a shot of him, especially cuz he was taking all these from-the-hip shots with his camera, with a beer in the other hand; i was impressed. i woulda trashed my camera, if'n that was me...
fabulous friday.
