June 2006

Goodness, I don’t think I’ve ever had such a fine meal…the complexity of the flavors once again shows how much I *don’t* know how to cook.

Reservations are a great idea so I called at 11am, and it took about 15 calls to get past the busy signal, and they actually only had a table for two on the 5th of July at 9:15pm…however I talked to the hostess at 5:30 pm at their suggestion, and got a reservation for the same night at 8pm. It was totally worth the hassle.

“Metaphors Be With You”, will present new work by Jacquelyn Strycker and Pete Ippel. The opening party with snacks and wine will be hosted by Gallery Icthus 1769 15th Street between Valencia and Guerrero streets, starting at 6pm and going till 9pm.

In addition to the opening, the gallery will be open from 5-7pm on Tuesday July 18th and Tuesday July 25th. The gallery is also open by appointment, and the show will close July 28th. Call 415.425.8863 for more information.

I have been working with Wordpress for the past week or so, and there is so much more to tweak and control, I love how the community is so open and helpful when one catches a snag…so please forgive the momentary scramble…In the next few weeks I will be uploading portfolio images all the way back from 1998.

Oh boy!

Here he is with the quote of the day

In certain kinds of writing, particularly in art criticism and literary criticism, it is normal to come across long passages which are almost completely lacking in meaning.
- George Orwell

…and what have we done about it?

On the way to work today, this thing was the size of my fist.
