been seeing some great colors against buildings lately
:: reflections eternal ::
i know, i stole the title for this post from the hip hop duo “Reflection Eternal” – but i do admire this reflection captured recently after a day of showers here in SF
:: Seahorses and Seadragons ::
i’ve recently captured more up-close shots of insects and aquarium life, so thought another posting in that vein should follow the recent butterfly post I did.
this is a leafy sea dragon, featured at the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seahorse exhibit
and these are Dwarf seahorses – locked to blades of grass
If you haven’t been to the Monterey Aquarium lately, I recommend getting down there for the Secret Lives of Seahorse exhibit before it ends — well, you have till Aug 2012

:: 1:AM Gallery – Eternal Sleep : Dia de los Muertos ::
On October 16th, local urban art purveyors 1:AM Gallery kicked off the opening night of their current show: Eternal Sleep – Tribute to Dia de los Muertos. In proper, and always fitting, style 1:AM delivered a hot night of fresh talent -(although on the bit darker side of themes), and good beats. This current exhibit runs till November 6th 2009.
I didn’t get to stay long but let’s take a look:
:: Berderp, Patron, and Casa De Thrillist ::
last night local urbanites extrordanire Thrillist teamed up with Patron to host a stop over of their Mix Masters events that have pervaded our imbibing culture across the US.
First of all, the Casa de Thrillist house is AMAZING. Situated overlooking the city from a nice perch the party’s premise was that 1st floor hosted a Dj, mingling,a pool, and 2 of San Francisco’s finest assisting in your inebriation.
On the 2nd level the event focused more on the “You Mix” approach - allowing guests to work with a mixologist to concoct a libation that would catch the attention of the Thrillist editors in hopes of getting his or her drink recipe mentioned on the Patron Social Club site & maybe walk away with a free bottle of Patron. Fresh ingredients for the takin’ included blackberries, cucumber, ginger liquor, fresh jalapenos, mint, 3 types of Patron, pineapple, oranges, cilantro and more. The guests partied, ate complimentary hamburgers, and got drink mixing tips from David Nepove a.k.a Mr Mojito – who hails from Enrico’s with about 20+ yrs of drink making experience.
My girlfriend whipped up a “Hot Melon” (spicy watermelon goodness) while I pursued a different angle with my “Gingerlicious”
This couple kicked off the pool party madness – but out of respect I won’t show what happened beyond this:
later in the evening Thrillist handed out the awards for Worst Drink, Best Name, and Best Overall Drink. I believe somewhere in there was “Black Bitch”, “Pat My Sajack” and, well, I forget the others.
THANK YOU Thrillist krew! BooYAh!
