I've been reviewing sfgirlbybay for some tips on how we should spend our time in one of the most brilliant cities in the country. How many times have I been to Pier 39 but walked past countless photo booths and local galleries? I'm hoping to make it to Rare Device but I will share with you that I'm at the same time hopeful and afraid that Lisa Congdon will actually be there! Its one thing to e-mail someone, admire their flickr feed, check their blog, but to meet said artist in person means I can't erase what I was going to say three times and keep an appearance of radness. Its enough to keep me from introducing myself at all and just cruising through and taking pics. Not going to happen, though. I need to be vulnerable and brave and shake a hand. Because awkward is beautiful, right?
I'll be taking both my digital and my polaroid cameras on the trip and I plan on taking an obnoxious amount of pictures in the city. If anyone wants to meet up on Sunday afternoon for coffee/tea in or near San Francisco, I'd love to hang out. Send me an e-mail.
I shall leave you with pretty things to look at. Happy weekend.

Have fun girl...and we're planning on heading out that way this summer...so can't wait to hear all about it!
lol, probably every email I write I end up erasing and retyping three times.... the internet makes being social so much easier for me. I hope if you do get to meet Lisa that you are vulnerable and awkward and that it's amazing.
have a lovely time!!! can't wait to see pictures.

thanks for pointing out that awkward is beautiful, it's a sentiment that makes me feel a little better about myself. :) have fun in san francisco, how nice it must be to live within driving distance of such a wonderful place!
I usually just read your blog without commenting but I had to say something because of one line in your post stopped me in my tracks... "awkward is beautiful". That's so true and beautiful. Thank you for the reminder. Have a great trip. :)

alameda is amazing!

Oh I am so happy that you are having a get away weekend. Wish I could meet up with you today but I won't be off work until 5:30pm. It sounds like you'll have a wonderful time!
How fun! :) I would love to come hang out...sometimes I wish I had a bunch of frequent flyer miles built up :)
Happy birthday Brett!! :)
Omigosh...Have an awesome weekend!! Sounds like so much fun!
I'm struggling somewhere between being really excited for you and your trip and overly jealous that I won't be going along. (kidding! your trip just sounds SO fun!)
I can't wait to view said obnoxious amounts of photos!
Take care!
p.s. I experienced one of those 'beautifully awkward moments' a year ago when I met one of my blog idols in real-life...it was worth it!
no lie, we have planned our entire family vacation around the alameda show in june. :) well okay. we've been dying to hit SF ever since we moved out west so I'm sure we'll be doing more than just hitting that fleamarket.
and-- recently met lisa congdon at her show here in portland. she is super chill. you've got to stop by rare device!
bet I'll be asking you for bay area recommendations soon. and how about some photobooth strips? I hear the b&w booth at the musee mechanique is tops.
happy travels!
