Sunday at the Park

I got a Djembe drum that I have wanted for a really, REALLy long time…I played today at the Golden Gate Park…It’s great, hand carved, chocolate wood, and a great dappled goat-skin head…

As I was exiting it was getting really dark, and you know right at the end of Haight street, there are a bunch of people with dogs, well, right as I walked by, one of the UN NEUTERED *pit bulls* attacked this fluffy white dog. The pit lunged at it from across the street, and I was so scared…the two owners were punching the pitbull to try and get it to release, and tugging at it’s back legs with all their weight, the whole time the white dog’s neck was in it’s mouth.

I was so scared that it was going to get me, I ran away across the street. it was literally 3 feet from me at one point, and when I turned around about a minute later, the white dog was still in the pit’s jaws.

I really want the ban on pitbulls in the city…I’m scared to walk around (and I already was aftraid of those dogs) and now I’ve seen them be vicious for NO reason at all.

Icer Air

Totally rocked. I am so happy that The City allowed the evernt to occur. I think it’s exactly what we need to get more tourists and events here. Not everyone made it to the competition, and yet it still was on the front page of EVERY newspaper as well as the USA Today show…

It was totally fun and Zany. I got a few pics from the event on my camera phone. You can also check out my mobile blog.

Mondays at the San Francisco Art Institute

I bumped into Chris Bratton around 12:45 on Monday before heading over to Leonardo, and it was really great to see him, I think he’s making moves in the right direction. A very affable guy. It’s be so sunny this week too, so the rooftop at 800 Chestnut was amazing.

In other news, I have been researching the Busan biennial, looking into teaching in Rome for Cornell in Rome this spring, and trying to keep up with my Spanish garden (using the language every day)
