stylin' kaia




thirtyfour years of life

I celebrated my birthday this year at the wonderful Mankas with Kaia and Jersey. We stayed in the Sweet and Jersey had the chef make dinner for us on our arrival.
We ate braised pork belly with homemade sauasages, kale and parsnips.

Dessert was creme fraiche cheesecake with rum raisins and chocolate brittle.

In the morning we had a trio of West Marin cheeses, honeyed walnuts, and cream biscuits.


In Pt Reyes we saw this that reminded me of Dan McCarthy's art.

Then we met up with Tashen, Suzy, Damon, and Matt at Hog Island.



We took Kaia to see the elephant seals.



Jersey and I jammed all night and the next morning we had apple cake, homemade yogurt and granola for breakfast.

It was a perfect birthday. Thank you for all my birthday wishes.

hamburgers in hamburg?

Sadly, I didn't eat any hamburgers. BUT! I had a great time with my two favorite Germans, Jonas and Ole.

Ole and I took the train from Copenhagen to Hamburg. On the train, Ole made some business cards and we hired a banana CFO.



Jonas met up with us and we went to The Golden Pudel, a punk rock club near the harbor and danced til 3 in the morning.


We also saw the Cold War Kids, but without Ole. The next morning, the city looked all Miyazakisteampunked.

B and I went to Amsterdam to work with our friend Lucas.

We had a nice time with his family, his little Maaike is so cute!

On Saturday, Joachim was there and we went on a slow boat ride through the canals. Joachim and Lucas took turns being captain.


I spotted my 4th European Invader!

Thanks Lucas for hosting us!

thirtyone for suzy

Suzy's birthday was a Northern California adventure. We started our way Hwy 1 to Hog Island Oyster Company. Then to Osmosis. Then to Harbin Springs. The moon was almost full, the lunar eclipse was around the corner and Mars is in retrograde!
