sf – Hello Maseman

The remaining days of our stay included mass amounts of rest and relaxation. It was a much needed break from work and regular life. We saw some cool places around San Francisco and Oakland and ate some good foods in parks and good restaurants.

Also, it was great to catch up with our old friend Ryan, pictured here below with Jessica.

He showed us the sights and sounds that we’d have never found on our own and kept us fed and laughing. Also, we met our new California family Cati, Charles, Laz and old friends Pancho and Cricket.

There’s more pictures out there if you’re handy with Instagram. Or we could do it the old fashioned way and talk about it next time we see each other. Back to work for now, more things coming this week. Stay tuned!

Our first full day in California was spent getting our bearings. We rode the MUNI and BART and found it pretty easy to get around. First stop, the haul to Oakland for the Neu Folk Revival show at Lequivive Gallery.

On our way, we wandered to a street gathering where we saw more art at a new spot called Naming Gallery. We met some rad people who swear they knew Jess and I from somewhere else. After a long talk about past places and faces, We could never figure it out, but there was some good music playing, so we just hung out with them before the show. Also, a sweet interactive music performance by Zach Huston was enjoyed by all.

Then we walked over to Lequivive Gallery where we hung out and checked out the early end of Neu Folk Revival’s opening night. We met Rich Jacobs, a great inspiration of mine and Max Kauffman, who curated the show and also an amazing artist. Thanks to Max and Mike at Lequivive for all the hard work on this show. It was really great.
