Bloody MOCA

Last night Marsea and I went to the 30th anniversary party at the MOCA. I took an unfortunate spill down the cement steps on the way in, with my heel caught in the hem of my dress I could only grab onto Marsea's ass for support. The show was so good that I was able to thoroughly enjoy it despite the bloody knees and shins.

Kesley Brookes opening tomorrow night @ Quint Contemporary

Kelsey Brookes is one of my favorite art buds of all time. If you can get down to San Diego tomorrow you have to go his opening. Kelsey is crazy talented and his paintings are so impressive up close. The amount of detail he puts into each painting is insane. I've written press releases on his work in the past and words are just not sufficient enough to convey what he does. Go check it out.

Katsuo Design - Friday Night @ Ghetto Gloss

Yuske (aka Katsuo Design) is having a solo show this Friday night! Angeleno's should come out for sure! Yuske is super talented, I guarantee you'll like what you see! And with sets by Nico & Hoseh you'll like what you hear too!

Katsuo Design is a person, not a firm; but his prolific output in a variety of media can be as deceiving as his nom de plume. Perhaps best known for their instantly recognizable style of quirky punk-folk urbanism, his illustrations and designs have flourished along the t-shirt and album-cover routes. Head to Ghettogloss to check out what kind of haunting, edgy painted and drawn fairy tales he comes up with on his own time.

Autumn Pear Pie

Thanks for the music suggestions and links!

So does anybody remember back in January 2008 I posted the Recipe Exchange Program? No? Well I'm not surprised because only a couple people jumped on board. Anyhew, Sonya has been baking up a storm up in San Francisco and being a doctor of eastern medicine she's taking recipe exchange to a whole new level.

This is her email (she's not much of a blogger):

Round two of my Autumn baking craziness...

Everything I used for this recipe is organic and local, except for the spices (overseas). Nourishing & warming in character... very appropriate for the season!

• goji berries - gou qi zi: nourish blood, yin, and essence - sweet & neutral

• walnuts - hu tao ren: tonify yang - sweet & warm

• fresh ginger - sheng jiang: warming; release the surface - spicy & warm

• cinnamon - gui zhi: warming; release the surface - spicy, sweet & warm

• clove - ding xiang: warm the interior & expel cold - spicy & warm

• nutmeg - rou dou kou: astringe, stabilize & bind - spicy & warm
