Oh yes… OH YES! It’s happening. It’s free. It’s at Fort Mason in San Francisco. Hopefully the weather will be a lot nicer than the last time Renegade was in town. And hopefully I’ll see more of my favorite crafty people IN THE FLESH! The crafting world has its share of celebs as well – “you better believe it” – as my Dad likes to say.
Anyway, we’re two weeks away! I have a lot of friend/family birthdays coming up. I can’t wait to see what I can find.
Happy Sunday, everyone! A while back when my mister and I were comparing apps, he was telling me how amazing the WordPress app was, so I decided to give it a whirl. So voilà, coming straight to you from my iPhone.
Below is a photo of The Ferocious Few performing at the Haight Street Fair last weekend. It was hot, crowded, and I was ready to bounce, but then I heard retro-sounding guitar riffs backed by hyper drumming and had to stop and listen. I stayed for the rest of their set. Check them out July 15th at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco, or google them and give your ears a treat.
I’m off to the North Beach Festival today! Here’s hoping I do not get visited by claustrophobia again!
She & Him? THE SPECIALS? Echo and the Bunnymen? JAY-EFFING-Z?!?! GAHHHH. I need to go, but my more logical side is shaking it’s frugal and wise head. Especially if we can only purchase three day tix. Man oh man. Oh Coachella, why must you tempt me.
So, after seeing 311 this past Saturday night, I can pretty much die a very very happy lady. I rocked out to the songs that got me through high school, and totally remembered why I loved them so much. I, sadly, had slightly forgotten. In anticipation of the sounds of 311 taking me back to my high school state of mind, I wore my bright red Converse sneakers just as an inside joke to myself.
In other news, my roommate and I went to the Long Beach Antique Market on Sunday and boy oh boy was it hot!
I don’t know why… but I assumed it would be indoors so I didn’t wear any sunblock. Needless to say my skin is pretty mad at me today. BUT I found a lot of great deals. I was surprised by the wide variety of goodies the Antique Market vendors had to offer. From vintage clothing to old comic books and action figures. There was something for everyone. My favorite find of the day was a Paul de Longpre framed print for only $5. Yeow Yeow. All in all good times were had.
Anyhoo, it’s been a while since I’ve last updated, so here’s a little visual update:
What? What! An indie arts and crafts festival is happening in Orange County? I know. I’m just as amazed as you are. It’s nice to feel the blood of the DIY revolution pumping through our often bland county. I’m so glad my roomie saw the poster for this festival at the Gypsy Den yesterday, otherwise I would have never known about it. Check it out kids! I’ll be there, fo sho.
