shuffle!

rotated art today in the casa...

I put the blue oil painting that has been hanging in the bathroom on the main wall in the living room, and moved the 'aglue' into the corner to allow it more of a 3D feel. I need to get to the MOMA and get some more 'aglue' to fill in that corner, it feels much more at home in a 3D space than against the wall how it used to be. I love the aglue so much - - its so versatile and modern.

birfdays at the house of the spirit bear.....

I love birthday parties!

Tonight I attended the birthday open house for Les Wright aka nashobabear it was packed with Billy Club luminaries, various Ljers, bearded faeries and other characters. Just like I suspected of people that love Les? - it was full of wonderful people. I met a charming classical composer who lives in Menlo Park with his partner, a lovely artist - who combined with his boyfriend brought enough testosterone to the party to make every dizzy, a ambitious new business owner who is opening a new "Body Center" in the Castro (Massage and other services), and that is just the tip of the iceberg! It was also nice to see Chris (capy) and Joe - whom I have not seen in FAR FAR FAR too long.

I did a fair amount of blabbing and promotion of KDFC 102.1 Classical (this seemed a good audience to do so). I was surprised to hear how many people had "given up" on KDFC but have recently in the last year started listening again. That was very nice to hear. I may have scored a couple of little freelance design projects out of the networking and hobnobbing for the evening. The highlight of my evening - was gifting Les with a painting watercolour by Sue Coleman.

Les and I have known each other over ten years - and started out working together on the first version of Bear History Dot com. I am sure that future collaborations are in store as well. but - Les being the prime bear that I know - I gave him a framed painting called "Spirit Bear" by Sue Coleman. (linky here) I know that the spirit bear belongs with Les in his cozy home of books and art. Upon visiting her site - she calls the painting "Guardian Bear" as it's a mother and her cubs. but I like to think that the glyph and all makes it a spirit bear - so I'm going to stick with my title. (wink)

I'm now home and about to take Miss Kate out for an evening stroll. It's a nice warmish DRY evening here - and I think we'll go for a longer walk than normal.

Evenings like this - after being in the glow of such esoteric, rich-minded men - - is what living in San Francisco is all about.
