shows at the henry miller

Recently the Crew (the Crew, being Kaia, Jersey, and me) went down for a 3rd anniversary cabin/camping trip to Big Sur. We got to see Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) and Black Francis (Pixies) play two day shows at the Henry Miller. It was pretty heartfelt seeing Ben sing on the stage where Jersey and I took our first dance as a couple to "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" three years ago.

figgy

A couple of weeks ago, I got greedy and forced my friend Erich to take me to his parent's house in Sonoma. They have a huge fig tree and I wanted free figs to myself! Erich took these great pictures. Thank you Rick and Sandy for letting me climb and pillage your fig tree. I made wonderful cakes with them.



On the way home we saw this teardrop trailer!

like mother...

I have been swamped with work and got super sick last week. Sorry for not doing more updates. We'll be doing a bunch of fun things soon. Recently I went to the Tool show, thanks to Tommy Kneecap for hooking up the tickets. Justin Chancellor, the bassist, can do no wrong! He also played bass in one of my favorite songs from Isis, "Altered Course."

I love music. I hope Kaia will jam in the family band.

farm camping

Over the weekend we went camping for the first time as a family! Eatwell Farm, where I get my food box from, hosted a garlic harvest and braiding event. We had the best time, I will let the pictures speak for themselves. We came home with a huge garlic braid, potatoes, lavendar, and strawberries that I am proud to say, we pulled, plucked, and picked with our bare hands. If you go on their site, you can see a video on how to braid garlic and a cameo of yours truly.

ladies lunch

Kaia and I spent the day together. We had an early lunch at Boulette's.




Later on she went for a dip in the Temescal Creek!

kaia eighteen months

Kaia will be 1.5 years old this month. She is growing up and we are growing old.

my soule mate

Damon Soule was in town promoting his new book at the SF Moma and his gallery show at Fecal Face. I haven't seen Damon since our trip to Portland and he moved to NYC shortly after that. He stopped by one of my client's event I was hosting at the W.

Then I stopped by his gallery show.


Weirdly enough, my friend Amir was there!

The next day, we celebrated his birthday back at the old house he lived at in SF.


When the tunes came on, Kaia picked up a toy ghetto blaster and started dancing.

We love you Damon! Hope to see you in NYC soon.
