A look back at 2010

Ah 2010, where did you go? Before we get too wrapped up in our schemes and dreams for 2011, we thought we'd take a look back at where we've been. (Photo above from our impromptu black & white New Year's Eve party, inspired by this.)

Inspired by Food Inc, in January one of our major resolutions was to pay more attention to where our food comes from and eat more at home. (We did pretty well with this one—this photo actually is of kale chips we made in the fall.)

We both also became more and more interested in photography in 2010, and as a result noticed a lot more of the lovely things all around us (like these prize ribbons at the Alameda Flea Market in February).

In March, we created a new altered portrait for Manifest Equality, and made a road trip to LA to see the show.

In April, we were honored to DJ the afterparty for a super-inspirational Pop-Up Magazine.

In May, Sandy participated in her first Bike To Work Day, and it quickly became a daily habit.

In June, we had some awesome summertime adventures both in and out of the city.

In July, we celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary with a weekend trip to Santa Cruz.

In August, we paid a visit to the Scout Books booth at Renegade SF to gocco some notebooks.

In September, we celebrated a couple special birthdays: one in Tacoma and one at the always epic Palace of Fine Arts, here in San Francisco.

In October, our t-shirt for Little Paper Planes' artist series hit Target stores!

In November, Matthew's film 33 premiered at the Bicycle Film Festival in SF.

And last but not least, in December we gave our Etsy shop a little update.

We certainly feel lucky for everything we experienced last year, and are looking forward to new adventures in the year ahead!

Winterfest

Winterfest is this Sunday night! The end-of-year extravaganza at SOMArts is both a benefit for + celebration of the SF Bike Coalition, and includes a silent auction, an art auction (to which we donated a piece), a screenprinting station, a photobooth and more. Plus, a 1-year SFBC membership is included with the price of admission. Hope to see you there!

Thirty-three at BFF

Matthew and our friend Xavier made a short film for this year's Bicycle Film Festival, which premiered this Sunday! I'm super-proud of them, and they were in great company with a lot of other inspiring films on their program. Big thanks to our friends who came out to the screening! If you weren't able to make it to the Victoria Theatre, you can now see 33 on Vimeo as well as below.

(Disclaimer! The film is not autobiographical, though we certainly can relate in many ways.)

A perfect occasion to wear my new bike dress.

The ride down 16th on our way to the theatre.

Matthew and Xavier give a brief introduction onstage, with Heels on Wheels director Anna Bisgaard-Nohr and BFF founder Brendt Barbur.

See more photos of all the fun BBF events from last week (including the kick-off party and Bikes Rock) here, here, and here.

Bikes Rock!

The Bicycle Film Festival comes to SF next week! We're super-excited to be involved in all sorts of ways, including DJing, poster design (above), and most importantly, Matthew and Xavier's short film "33" will premiere on Sunday 11/14 at 5:00.

Check out the BFF website for more details on all the funtimes! (And if you can't make it to the screening, 33 will be available on our Vimeo after the premiere!)

Happy Memorial Day

Lots of friends, food, and biking plus one game night equals a pretty amazing holiday weekend! Just what we needed to recharge a bit. Hope yours was just as great!
