Our kids’ names will be Tikka & Masala

The end of summer is drawing near, and so we are trying to take advantage of the long days and sunshine. School starts up for me in the fall. Just ordered my laptop, packed with CS3. I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Dolin and Matthew got married in a tiny schoolhouse at History Park in San Jose, which is a collection of restored historic buildings:
Olivia stenciled peonies on the chalkboard (I did half of one). Afterwards, they rode off together on vintage bicycles. Srsly cute:
Small dinner that night, followed by boozing & marriage license signing at Original Joe’s. The next day, Karen Jon & I explored San Jose a bit… hit up Big Al’s Record Barn were I scored a Hall & Oates album for Olivia, a Dixie Cups album for the happy couple, and an Irma Thomas mix for myself. Saturday night was the larger reception, which was superfun. More boozing and lots more food. I briefly dj’d the krazy dance party in the living room. Later, I fell asleep on the front porch.
Other things that have been going on:
- streaming photos from my phone almost constantly
- Grass Valley next weekend for the county fair – YEEHAW!
- added a new entry to the Free Table
- House of Shields got a fitting plug in SFBG’s Best Of The Bay (Best Urinal???, quirky live music)
- working on the new HOS site
- listening to Little Dragon (a rec from a wedding client. the girl sings with Jose Gonzalez)
- Olivia painted an owl and a redpoll
- new season of Mad Men
- after being inspired by Jay, I’m going to start carrying around a small sketchbook (so that hopefully my skills will develop past drawing ducks, chickens and pineapples)
- issue 5 of Yeti magazine
- fascinated by BBC’s Wild China
