Julie applies lip ‘plumping’ stuff as Candace watches on

Sunday I went to have lunch with Julie at the Slow Club, which I like although I’ve only been there once before. This time it was really brunch and the service lived up to the restaurant’s namesake. It was good nonetheless, as was the company.

Afterwards, we went to GG Park for the Sunset Party and grabbed a six pack of Sierra Nevada Summerfest since it was gloriously sunny in Potrero/SOMA. Of course as we cruised up Haight it started to get foggy and it was all foggy and San Francisco-ish at the party.

Afterwards we had some Vietnamese at PPQ off 25th Ave and Julie went to see Spiderman. I’ve heard good stuff about the flick so I want to check it out – just wish they’d put it on the IMAX at the Metreon.

So a new campaign to promote San Francisco launched this week and we are doing a lot of the photography for it. There was a little reception for people involved before the game and then we watched the Giants beat the Dodgers.

Yesterday we completed the four game sweep – delish!

– orange beer

and as I was walking to find a store that had some, I came across this bloody mess. According to the lady who owns the tanning salon, a guy was there and harrassing this woman who then stabbed the guy in the gut or so and the guy just started bleeding all over the place with the blood spewing about as you can see…

I dunno if that influenced my choice, but I got a cran-apple Dole fruit juice.

On my birthday the kids from the company gave me a book called Offerings that has Buddhist quotes and photos for each day. I bookmarked a few that I really liked and am posting them here…

Do not encumber your mind with useless thoughts.
What good does it do to brood on the past or anticipate the future?
Remain in the simplicity of the present moment.

Orange was hired for a tough assignment:

I love walking places. You take things slower and observe more when you walk. It’s also easier to stop and change direction, stop to check something interesting out, and the pace is more chill.

I usually like walking down either more bustling streets or else the more hidden side streets. In San Francisco there are a lot of cool named side streets too which often have some interesting local businesses. Some good dive bars are often located on these streets as well…

So a friend of mine has an exhibit at a local art gallery, Rx Gallery with cell phone photos, so I figured I’d post some of mine and maybe upload a few to their submission site as well…

Julie loves the phone cam…
