Friday Night!

The 00s are back...

Matthew and Jamie are hosting a new party at the Elbo Room this Friday night. Hope to see you there!

Sign Painters

When I was little, I wanted to be the person who painted holiday scenes on supermarket windows during the wintertime, and when I was pregnant with Dylan and trying to figure out how I was going to combine creative work with raising a little one, I had dreams of apprenticing at New Bohemia Signs with him in a Baby Björn. (Until someone burst that bubble and told me that the paint they use is incredibly toxic — although I now realize toxic fumes wouldn't be the only obstacle in sign painting with a newborn!)

So needless to say, I'm pretty excited to see Faythe Levine and Sam Macon's documentary about this oft-overlooked art. I'll be keeping tabs on this page for screenings in San Francisco. And maybe I can do that apprenticeship when Dylan is in preschool...

Mom Inc. Book Launch

We're super-excited to be DJing the Mom Inc book launch party, tomorrow night at West Elm! The subject—running a business from home—is near and dear to my heart, and I'm eager to snag a copy and see what authors Meg and Cat have to share. Plus, local design moms from Yellow Owl Workshop, Petit Collage, and Chewing the Cud will be selling their wares. We hope to see you there! (Details here.)

Interlude

Other Lives at the Barrel House, May 23 2011.

At dinner after this show, we received news of yet another delay in the repairs to our apartment. We start to realize we may need to find a new place to stay permanently.

Let us take you dancing
