All Gone

Thursday and another week almost gone. Time seems to go by so quickly, doesn't it? So many things to do. Be sure to take time to stop and smell the roses or sip the cappuccino.

Who knew?

This morning dawned chilly and foggy but I dragged myself out of bed and off to Civic Center to the Farmer's Market. I will do almost anything to get my hands on summer tomatoes and they were calling me.

After loading up, I popped into the Main Library and explore the The Little Maga/zine Collection. I hadn't known it was there until Carollee told me about it at the SF Zine Fest on Saturday. What an amazing place. I browsed the four wonderful copies of All This Is is Mine (Sugene's zine) and sifted through a box of mail art letters and couldn't even make a dent in seeing everything before my meter ran out. Next visit I am taking the streetcar and staying all morning.

Leaving the Library, I stopped at the Steps Sale and picked up two books for a $1.00 each - both to tear up and use in mail art. Having a long weekend, I had some time to catch up on some mail art.

Outgoing

Monday was warm and sunny and the Noe Valley Voice Party was a lot of fun. Here are some of the party animals below. You know who you are.

Yes, that's me in the purple and the other's shall remain nameless. We ate. We drank. We sang songs.

Pot Luck

and I took pictures. Of course.

Long Weekend

San Francisco is a great place to spend a weekend. The 2010 Zine Fest in Golden Gate

Park has loads of terrific zines to browse through and buy. And it was free.

Lunch, right outside the park, was delicious and cheap.

Cocktail reception for the photo show The Golden Decade, California School of Fine Arts 1945-1955 was really interesting and I caught up with a few photographer pals of mine.

And, I still have Sunday and Monday to play!

Starting Out

What the world doesn't need is another blog and yet here I am. Being encouraged by friends I have decided to do some sharing,
photos, ideas, thoughts, recipes and whatever else strikes my fancy. Today it's cappuccino.
