niners win!

niners win and frank gore overtakes roger craig in rushing.

best escape from the first snow (and it's only october): atlantic city.  yep, it snowed in new york.  trudged through a snowy wet times square to catch the hampton luxary liner.  i know i'm a baller.  not really, i snagged a deal on groupon.  :)  anyhoot, mollie and i came out on top.  $32 and $30 respectively that went to a winner's dinnah.

just like glee

mollie's moneymaker

kreay kray area

must big up to the bay area: kreayshawn on npr. girlfriend, speaks up to her critics.  here's to growing up in the bay. 

slingshot 2012

thing that made me :) today:

a/v

when i was recently home, i had a good catch up with one my my favoritest people in the world, kristin. she proposed a most excellent music art project, which we've managed to "launch".  friends, i am pleased to introduce audio + visual (thanks mel for the title inspiration).  the project pairs songs with art pieces.  ever see a painting or print and instantly have a song conjure up in your head?  we take submission and i know all you good folk love art and tunes so send them over to us. 

finished!

worst and best morning activity: rock n' roll new york. shar doesn't like getting up before sunrise and hauling her arse out of her warm cozy bed, but she does like finishing her first 10k in under an hour.  true results aren't posted until 7pm EST, but i'm pretty sure i saw like 58 or 59 something before i crossed the finish line.  anyhoot, i got a medal and it's got glitter on it.  ummmm, awesome!

fltgc: amze emmons + kevin haas

happy return to a tried and true: christina ray. shar feels like she's been neglecting this art outpost, but finally popped back in. christina was in the house and as always filled with background info on the current exhibit, disintegration and sprawl. featuring the prints of amze emmons and kevin haas, the exhibit's themes are coincidentally very timely as folks just south of the gallery on wall street are living in some makeshift homes as well.  amze peppers his prints with fine lines and color, while kevin plays with monochromatic layers. closes on the 30th, so get your butt to christina ray.

zola jesus @ knitting factory

best urban gospel gig: zola jesus at knitting factory, brooklyn.  friends, nika can sing.  she's got pipes in a bellowy, enchanting tone. gurl can dance too.  she even jumped into the crowd to sail through her fans.  she almost tripped on my neighbors briefcase. ahmazing, ahmazing.  this pint size dynamo can really pack a punch.  she's at lpr tonight, if you can get tickets.  better yet, stream the concert live via npr. amen.

left my heart in sf

niners win streak!

holy sourdough cannoli! the niners stomped the bucs 48-3 and go to 4-1.  this is the best start they've had since 2002.  the jim harburgh era is looking bright.  next up, the lions which will be quite the match up.

camping!!!!  shar's been missing the outdoors and my pals were awesome enough to make my camping dreams come true in the catskills. thanks mel, bill, mike, jen, sue and andrea!

key to my heart

shar truly <3s this swede.  i got giddy as he hit the stage last night.  

fltgc: lehmann maupin, salon 94 freemans, canada

best keeping with routine: fltgc.  ha getting back to the swing of friday lunch time gallery crawlin'.  i managed to pry myself off my desk to some sunshine and art.  on the route, lehmann maupin, salon 94 - freeman's outpost and canada (a newbie to fltgc).  


first stop: mickalene thomas at lehmann maupin. mickalene creates collages with archival pieces. she also likes frames on frames, which produce an almost magnified quality to the subjects of her pieces.  she also likes polaroids. really big polaroids

next stop: salon 94 in freeman's alley for dzine's imperial nail salon.  it's blingiest shop in town.

oh i saw a new hanksy in the alley too.

last stop: canada for carrie moyer's abstract paintings.  it's got influences of georgia o'keffe, no?  drawing from flowers and sea life.
