I’m off to Japan for two weeks… and am so very excited to see one of my best friends get married, as well as travel around the country.
See you in November!

Russian River
Here are some photos from a relaxing holiday trip to Guerneville, where I chilled amongst the bears. Armstrong Woods was my favorite part, perhaps even lovelier than Muir Woods:

Muir Woods
Here are some pix from a recent trip up to Muir Woods. It’s just a little way past the Golden Gate Bridge, near Mill Valley. With plenty of recent rain, the entire park exploded with new redwood growth, sorrel and wildflowers in a multitude of colors!

Here are some pix from a trip back to New York. It was so good to soak in the sights, sounds, food and culture once more:

A Week in Recap.
Wow! It has been a crazy wondeful week.
I started off with weekend brunch at Little Skillet, a tiny little window serving incredible fried chicken and fresh waffles — just steps away from 330 Ritch in SoMA.
Then booked tickets to go see the Boredoms play in New York! Yippee!

Sonic Youth proved that they could still rock out on Monday night (see photo of Thurston Moore above, from sfdavidz).
I can’t wait for Sunn O))) to slowly drone me away in a live setting. And speaking of Sunn O))), I was reminded of their homage to Southern Lord’s mainstay group, Earth when I came across a new word: Ouroboros.
According to Wikipedia, an ouroboros is “an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail and forming a circle.” I’d heard about this symbol in a few different ways, from Jung to Norse mythology — apparently even Plato found it significant.
Ouroboros
Earth produced a song called “Ouroboros Is Broken” on the slowly unfolding album, Extra-Capsular Extraction. Find it and listen closely for the tail…
