Bits Of My Weekend
Click to see possibly more info on flickr!
Hey look, guys, we left the house this weekend! Amazing. I didn’t take the best photos because I was preoccupied with doing things for once. My mom and I lived up to the promise of shopping til we dropped, in the 85+ degree weather, and on Sunday Will and I went downtown to the Geffen to see the Art In The Streets show, which was surprisingly good for how skeptical we both were. Seeing Margaret Kilgallen’s work in person? Be still, my heart. We ate ramen and then went home and laid on the beach til the drum circle was decidedly too obnoxious to handle. I made a crappy little video of the boardwalk, as I don’t think some people quite get what it’s like right outside my door. (I didn’t upload it in time to wait for vimeo processing, sorry for the horrendous flickr video quality!) All in all, a very satisfying weekend.
I leave for London in two! days! But fear not, I have a couple posts scheduled and a guest blogger on Friday handling Friday Bits. I’m going to set an obnoxious auto reply on my email because I really want to avoid touching the internet while I’m gone. I need a little break!
P.S. How about them brand spakin’ new sponsors over yonder? I’m so lucky to have such wonderful people supporting me, and I’m happy to support them as well.

Margaret Kilgallen’s work, and the work from Os Gemeos, were the highlights of the show for me as well. I loved how they had drums set up to play!

I know this is weird but can you tell me the color name/brand of your nail polish? I have been looking everywhere for that exact shade but everything I find in the store looks either too orange or too red. Thanks!

Hey Kate, not a weird question at all! I’m posting about it later this week, but it’s Butter by London in Jaffa. It’s much more pink in person.

The drum circles in California are never ending. I live in SF and ne’er a sunny day gone has by that you couldn’t hear a drum circle somewhere in the distance.

The drum circles in Portland are also never ending. At the park on Sunday I simultaneously witnessed: drum circle, an accordian sing-along, that weird tight rope walking thing between 2 trees, excessive hula hooping, and fire twirling practice. FML.
If that is not an episode of Portlandia, I don’t know what is.

Have you seen Beautiful Losers? It’s an instant on netflix and it spotlights Margaret Killagen for quite a bit of it! By the way I discovered your blog through miss moss a few weeks ago and went through ALL of your posts in one weekend. Keep it up! I realize that when I read blogs like yours I have a better day because I see the world as if it is one of your pictures that focus on one minute detail of a day. thanks for blogging!

Holy moses – you’ve been to Lemonade?! That place saved my life back in the fall when I was in L.A. working on a project. Their Brussels sprouts are ridonc (although now out of season). Lucky you…85 degrees? Sheesh.
