SF Artist

At the North Beach festival this past weekend, Shannon and I saw this artist who we both loved instantly. Too bad I can't afford to buy any of her stuff! I posted some of her works so you can see how unique her work is. Enjoy!

Vegas this weekend!

I am going to Vegas for the first time in T minus 2 days! This weekend I will be staying at the Mandalay Bay at the end of the strip. I hear that their pool is amazing and only reserved for hotel guests. I can't wait to get me some sun out there - it's my only chance of a tan all summer! I love San Francisco, but I am seriously living in fog right now.

Hope your weekends are going to be as exciting as mine!

Happy Anniversary San Francisco!

It has been 1 year. I can't believe it! 1 year ago I began my journey of myself away from home, in a new place, with a new job, with new people in my life. Time feels like it has flown by, but it also feels like its moving slowly at the same time. This time here in SF so far has been very rewarding for me - I can't wait to see what happens next!

Spamalot last night @ Golden Gate Theater

I went to Golden Gate Theater last night with my friend Cynthia to watch Spamalot finally, as I have been waiting for this all year. John O'Hurley was the best! He played the famous J. Peterman on Seinfeld so of COURSE I loved this. It was very similar to the movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. So if you haven't seen that (and who hasn't seen that?) then you might be a little confused. (Who says you still might not be a little confused even if you have seen it? It's so ridiculous it's hilarious!). Anyways - this was much better than my last theater experience at Grease. If you have the chance to see Spamalot and you like slap stick humor, than this is the show for you!

Memorial Day Weekend in Austin!

I am so excited about this long weekend ahead of us. I am coming to Austin for Steven's sister's graduation from UT. I can't believe 2 years ago I graduated. How time flies! I remember my last semester clearly, that's when I met Steven for the very first time in class. Funny how we really didn't know each other during this time in our lives, but I am very glad that we both went to UT and appreciate how important and life changing that graduation is.

Their family is throwing a boat party on Town Lake on Friday night after the ceremony, and then we are going out to celebrate with his sister Jessica. I can't wait to be back in my favorite place, with the people I love, having a great time! I am so excited to see my family - all of us will be together again which rarely happens. It will be a nice little break!!

Radiohead working on new album!

I am so excited! From NME.com:


Radiohead's Colin Greenwood has told NME.COM the Oxford band have begun recording their new album with producer Nigel Godrich.

The bassist revealed that the band went into the studio to start work on the follow-up to 2007's 'In Rainbows' last week (beginning May 11)

"We've just started work [in the studio] last week," he told NME.COM. "It's really cool and everything is sounding great. It's early days and it is a bit like having a scrapbook at the moment because everything is up in the air, but it's good to be back in the studio."

He was quick to praise Godrich, who has produced every Radiohead album since 1997's 'OK Computer'.

"He's brilliant," Greenwood gushed. "He can make everything sound like it's working together rather than us trying to kill each other."

Greenwood was speaking at Brighton's Great Escape festival, which took place over the weekend (May 13-16).

SF 1/2 Marathon: July 26, 2009

I registered! I will be running the half marathon in July! I opted to do the first course - the one that goes across the Golden Gate Bridge. I mean, when else are you going to be able to do that in your life? I am nervous about running across the bridge, but it's something I have always wanted to do since I have lived here and I know I will feel so good about myself once I complete it. Now the running over the hills will be the worst part...

Ladytron & The Faint @ The Fillmore tonight

Ladytron



The Faint


Tonight I am finally going to see Ladytron! They tour quite a bit and for some reason I always miss them. The Faint is playing with them and they always put on a good show, so I am excited about the music festivities this evening! The Fillmore always is a fun place to see people - I am so lucky I have the opportunity to hangout at the iconic venue as much as possible.

Junior Boys w/ Max Tundra @ Bimbo's: 4/16

Junior Boys



Max Tundra




Last night I checked out the Junior Boys show at Bimbo's down the street. Really neat place, I have been there before to see an 80s cover band and remembered really loving it. Max Tundra opened for them, making me laugh the whole time. He is like a clown/entertainer/DJ/singer person (imagine that if you will). He even sold his "record" in a "Kosher soup can" that when you peeled the label off, a code appeared for you to buy both his albums on itunes. Jewish people are so funny! I can't explain it at all, but please look him up on you tube or check him out on myspace:

Junior Boys on the other hand rocked out! I was not expecting them to be as great as they were, but it was definately a fun show and I am glad I went! They stopped here last night before hitting up Coachella this weekend. You can check out their myspace page below:

Enjoy! Happy friday!

Outside Lands announces line-up

Hello all you fans of summer music festivals out there! Today the Outside Lands festival in Golden Gate Park released the line-up. I had the chance to go for one day last year where I saw Cold War Kids, Beck, and Radiohead! So I got all excited today when I heard that they were coming out with the line-up for the August festival.

Outside Lands

Boy was I wrong! The line-up looks like a bad look alike of the "supposed" ACL line-up this year. What is up with DMB being a headliner? I saw him like 4 times when I was in high school, along with everyone else. I doubt that there is anyone left who hasn't seen DMB, serisouly! Pearl Jam is cool, but I was into them YEARS ago! Incubus? Random. Everyone knows that Modest Mouse sounds crappy when they play large outside ampitheaters! Ugh. At least TV on the Radio, Band of Horses, MIA, Matt & Kim, The Mars Volta, Silversun Pickups, Jason Mraz will be fun, but it's not worth the $225 ticket price. And everyone says how the $160 ACL prices are inflated - HA! Where are all the new trendy and hip bands that have albums out, like The Black Ghosts, Ladyhawke, and Little Boots? Oh wait....that was SXSW, my B.

Are music festivals dying?
