across the street

Across the street from my place are three pretty cool spots, 1,2,3 Go Records, Manifesto , and Sub Rosa Coffee.

Every 3rd Sunday we also get a visit from Jon's Street Eats, a mobile food truck with gourmet chow for cheap eats.

When Jon's truck rolls around, the sidewalk is filled with hoodie hipsters and little kids. Today I had grits n' greens while Jersey and Kaia had biscuits n' gravy.

There's also a free show behind the coffee shop.

I love Temescal.

muntreal

That's how they want you to pronounce it! Honest! Jung and I had to go to Montreal for a business trip. Although we had boatloads of work to do, we had a great time in this beautiful city.

I walked by this park at night and there was a movie projected onto the wall of the building inside a painted tv. The night was warm, people were out eating dinner and watching a French flic. It was amazing.

The cupcakes here were yummy.

I like the way they do the outside stairs of the houses.

It's almost like we are in NYC again!

I love this coffee cup (hot cocoa in there for me) design from Olive + Gourmando. It's got congruent angled surface to put your hand away from the heat and the spout to sip from prevents spillage.

marche jean talon

The Jean Talon Market was fab! Jung and I ended up buying a hot baguette and some fresh herbed goat cheese for lunch.

lil mama

Kaia got a stroller for her baby, Abooboo. But today she wanted to wear her baby, like we did to her. So cute!

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.
