Today Amanda & I had a hike planned, but it was so nice out (read: SWELTERING), we decided it only fitting to hit the beach... and I'm SO glad we did!!
We went down to Pacifica around 3 & stayed for a couple hours... layed out in the sun, played with Millie, got our feet wet in the ICE COLD northern california pacific ocean. aaaah... such a fun day!!
View all the photos from our day at the beach!
Super awesome first day at Bazaar Bizarre Maker Faire, with many friends stopping by to say hello & show me their support (thanks everyone!!). And my brother, Samara & baby Sylvy even came to visit me, too!
More photos here!
Visit the WilloToons shop, view upcoming events, or go to the
Bazaar Bizarre site, but whatever you do - be sure to swing by & say hi! I'll be there both today (Saturday) and tomorrow.
BazBiz is being held indoors in Cyprus Hall... this whole event is massive & super cool... wahoo!
The more you edit, the crazier it gets. This one doesn't read so well near the end, but I was too lazy to capture more video to fix it... so whatevs. I'm just playing around & trying to learn.
I'm definitely finding that I want more controls though... especially when it comes to adding a soundtrack. I might have to really start getting into this video editing thing!
Aubrey organized a bunch of people for a Giants game on Friday night. Not just 10 or 20 of us though. SEVENTY FIVE PEOPLE. ha!! Granted my crew was maybe about 30 some of that 75, but daaamn!
We had pre-drinkies at 21st Amendment - where we snapped a few photos - but apparently my camera didn't come out after that. Check out the funny ones Kim Laama snapped at the game, though!
Ron & I went to Todd & Amanda's wine & cheese party... but we both got there pretty late. Not too late for some damn good wine & cheese though! :)
It was super fun to meet some of their other friends, and see some I had met before (Catherine & Dave)!

After this I even managed to head down to the W to hang with some out of town friends (in for Web 2.0) before calling it a night.
Last Monday we* organized an event called Love 2.0 and it was a huge hit!
View the photoset (and other sets linked off of there, too)
*Stephanie, Tara, Aubrey & I even got interviewed which should be interesting to see when it comes out! Here's Brian Solis' photo from that:
About two weeks ago I went down & visited my new baby niece, Sylvy... she's so cute! I need to schedule seeing her again sooner than later. She's growing so fast! She's just starting to coo & smile a ton. I have some videos I need to put up, too.
Until then... here's the photoset. I'll warn you - grab the smelling salts! 
They've actually been posted for awhile now, but I never said so here. So just in case you don't follow my flickr stream... now ya know!

I still have been meaning to do a wrap up post about all that I got from the weekend, but alas, I've been super busy... so who knows if I'll ever get to it. Suffice to say it was amazing! :)

My awesome new friends Ryan & Tara (BFFs) - who I just met at SxSW in Austin - came down from Seattle this last weekend!
Saturday morning we had a delicious brunch at Just For You (one of my favs), and then I met them out for a few drinks at the Elbo Room on Saturday night. Then on Sunday, they stopped by the Mission Indie Mart (yay!) and then later on I met them over at Ryan King's Birthday BBQ! Super fun!
Apparently they're coming back in a month, and I might even see them again if I decide to go to the Sasquach Festival in May! Oh ya, and I think I pretty much agreed to go to Brazil with them in Sept. too. haha. Hi! Can I get corporate sponsors to travel & party with my friends, please? :)

This was Misty & I at a BUST party, where we got to paint tote bags & drink free bloody mary's. Hi, awesome!
I have so many photos & videos to post, but probably won't get to them for a few more days. In the meantime though it's been super fun to see everyone else's getting posted! Gawd, SXSW is seriously the BEST TIME EVAR! love love love.
*sigh* I could go on & on, but I gotta run. More soon though, I promise!
