February in April.

So… I realized I forgot to post any photos from February. Oops. Here are a few that are fun. MOMA. Jaguar Love. Mark Growden. Meghan & Shalaco. Laura. Ernie. Valentine’s at Dolores Park. Brandom & Lewis’ roof. That’s all for now. Hooray for catching up!

New Year’s 2009.

When I sit down and think about all that has happened in the past year, I have a hard time believing it. I mean, I just think back a year to where I was last New Year’s Eve - - I was working yet another Eve in the service industry, this year as a cocktail [...]

Tour Blog: Seattle to Portland to home.

Seattle is one of of my favorite cities on the planet. Not that I’ve been to many places on the planet. But Seattle currently stands as a favorite regardless. In college, I would take my spring breaks and, instead of going to the beach or on a cruise like everyone else, I would go to [...]

Tour blog: Chico to Eugene.

Tour day 2. We awaken in Chico, CA, greeted by heavy freezing rain. I am quickly becoming acquainted with how lovely winter touring conditions are in the northwest. We say our goodbyes to our gracious host Sara Rose and prepare to head on our way. We take a quick tour through downtown Chico, in which [...]

Northwest tour begins.

Greetings from Northern California. I’m writing to you from the back seat of the tourmobile, in the middle of a heavy rainstorm, en route to Oregon. The tour posse: Mark Growden – musical mastermind/reason why all of this is happening. Alex Kelly – cello prodigy/giggler/noise maker extraordinaire. Helena Price – record label representative/doer of business-related [...]

Deja Vu + Third-Wheel Adventures.

I have spent the last two weekends tagging along with some ridiculously cute and happy couples… makes me want to barf sunshine just thinking about it. I really couldn’t ask for better people to be honorary third wheel with. First round was with Kelly and Jim. I spent last Sunday with them shooting some engagement [...]

Releasing of the CDs + sort of major career updates.

It finally happened. The event I’ve been working my tail off for, along with producer Will Chase, Porto Franco Records, among others. Mark Growden‘s CD Release was Friday. The sponsorships were secured, the programs were designed & printed, the last promotional waves were complete. I could relax… sort of. Relax enough to go receive my [...]

Almost there.

This is the last night I stay up til 4am working! The project I have been working on non-stop for weeks now, Mark Growden’s CD Release, is tonight. The theatre is almost sold out already, the CDs are packaged, the programs are designed and printed… everything is falling into place. It’s a great feeling. Everyone [...]

Projects/Pitches/Parties.

So if you’re wondering what’s keeping me so busy these days… My most important project as of late is working as a project manager for Mark Growden‘s upcoming CD release show at the Cowell Theatre. I’ve put together a program that finds event contributors, then connects them to the SF arts community, using Mark’s show [...]

Late September in Summary.

So I’m busy again. Like, more-busy-than-I’d-prefer-to-be type of busy. I suppose it’s a good problem to have, if you’re going to have a problem. I’m currently balancing full-time grad school work, full-time photogging, working at a PR firm, and doing some serious freelance PR/production work. I’m basically working on projects from 8 AM to midnight, [...]

Juggling, unicycling, pirate birthdays, etc.

Another day in my not-so-normal life. I was voluntarily kidnapped on Saturday and taken to a few places I would have never otherwise found, including a random bulb of waterfront land in Berkeley, and a middle school. I tagged along to this bulb of note with friends Mark and Cherry. It was a bit of [...]

Backyard birthday.

So yesterday marked the birthday of my friend and neighbor Mark Growden. Mark happens to share a backyard with me, making this easily the most convenient gathering I’ve attended thus far in San Francisco. The yard was abound with wonderful, interesting people. I spent the afternoon reveling in the general human awesomeness surrounding me, and [...]
