Participating in Surface Series, organized by Mary Estes, turned out to be still and impressive.  Here are some photos of the works at Jelly’s Cafe and the project Josie Adele and I did.

For an hour I stood as a live statue while Josie wrapped me in wire, strategically pulled me out, then put the wire sculpture back together to stand on its own. The piece, called Methistanai, represented a sense of transitioning from a former self, standing, to the new. David played amazing improvised live violin with David the DJ during the performance.

The series- Art Has Saved My Life, had a great crowd turnout with everyone stopping by the corner to check us out. Thanks to everyone that came out to support! Enjoy the photos!

March 5th, this Thursday, come  to Jelly’s – A Dance Cafe for “Art is Saving My Life. Seriously.” A night of art, music, conversation play, dance, and performance. Included in the lineup is:

• Josie Adele
• Danielle Castro
• Ed DeBafuare
• Becky Hurwitz
• Bettina Mow
• Mary Estes
• Jacob Moyer
• Carolyn Robbins
• Aaron Schuyler
• Erena Shimoda

Come watch as I become wrapped in wire by Josie Adele with music and live performers. The days of standing on stage for the whole second act of Nutcracker might prove useful after all!  Of course there will be other live performances and art as well.

The night’s festivities starts at 5:30pm and goes to about 9pm.  It is 21 and over so no kids allowed.

Located at 295 Terry Francois Blvd at Pier 50 (south of ATT Park).

Call to find out more at 415-495-3099, or check out their website at Jelly’s Cafe.

Happy New Year!

It has been almost a month since we closed the December Store, our most successful one yet!  Since we opened a year ago we have doubled our business. Congratulations again to Gabriel Colaluca for being the top seller with his recycled jewelry.  Miranda Caroligne came in second with her cozy fleecy hoodies and other various clothing and accessories. Now that we have changed the space back to a photography studio, what will this year hold?

We now have a new president. Go Obama! But our country has been the worst economically.  My hope is that people will still be interested in supporting the li’l guy. Who knows what’s in store but we will be plugging away. We will be updating our website to hold even more merchandise from local designers and artists so keep a look-out.

Oh, and if any of you viewed our Daka Bags and are wondering where to possibly buy them, they are now available at Xapno on Haight street, a very cute boutique!

Hello everyone!  As some of you may know we have been busy running the Holiday Temporary Consignment Store and haven’t had a chance to get around town to all the amazing events that have happened.

If there’s one thing that always remains in fashion, it’s the weekend. As plenty head out of town on holiday adventures, others will be launching last-minute shopping missions and hunting down enviable outfits for upcoming soirees.

For either endeavor, you can start the weekend off feeling warm and fuzzy when you take a can of food to the Maneater Threads Holiday Sample Sale and save an additional 35 percent on already discounted apparel from such designers as Nu Collective, Burning Torch, Rami Kashou and Mike & Chris.

Next, we’d recommend a visit to the Lower Haight for the final weekend of the SFGallery143 Holiday Store, which brings a slew of local indie designers together under one roof. You’ll find hand-crafted jewelry from Fluidance, avant-garde offerings from folks like Bad Unkl Sista and Miranda Caroligne, scarves by Harlequin Feltworks and lots of locally-made products.

A warehouse sale of another kind goes down this weekend in Union Square. A serious boon to jeans fiends, The Warehouse Sale brings rack upon rack of premium denim brands to the Hilton San Francisco at a discount. While the company prefers to stay mum about the exact brands it will offer, our previous visits have turned up pairs from Seven for All Mankind, Chip & Pepper, Ditto, J Brand, Miss Me and many others.

• Where: The Hilton San Francisco, 333 O’Farrell St., Yosemite Room
