I was prepping food for our camping trip to Big Sur (approximately 6 hours before we left).  When I cut the top off this pepper, this is what happened.  I said it looked pretty cool and E told me I should take a photo of it.  Good thinkin'.

Drummer from Fanfarlo.  They strung those lights up on the back wall of the Casbah, and I love how you can see one glinting through his cymbals.

This show was one of the best I've seen all year.  I definitely appreciate two-band bills (which seem to be pretty rare these days), especially when those two bands are as high quality as Fanfarlo and Freelance Whales.

The latter have been creating quite a buzz lately, and with good reason.  Their debut album, Weathervanes, has been getting a lot of play on my iPod, and with lyrics like, "and if you're partial to the night sky, if you're vaguely attracted to rooftops?" how could I not swoon?

And wow - their live show.  It was...joyous.  I'm talking about the bouncing-around-the-stage-with-huge-grins-on-their-faces kind of joy.  It was as infectious as their music, and they absolutely stunned everyone in the room with their set.  I was sad to see them leave the stage.

I couldn't be too upset, though, knowing that Fanfarlo was up next.  I picked up a copy of their CD Reservoir at some point over the summer, and ever since, I have found myself humming "The Walls are Coming Down" quite often.

They played a set that felt shorter than the Freelance Whales', but packed in that short amount of time was some great music.  I left the show that night giddy and flushed and full of happiness.

If you haven't already, check out my photos from the FM94/9 Holiday Hootenany over at Pitchfork.  It was blast, even with the last minute changes due to the rain.  And look for more photos here later.

With it getting dark so early, and me doing a lot of photo editing at my desktop computer at home these days, I decided I needed more light in my living room.  So it was off to Ikea to pick up, you guessed it, another light fixture.  Which I promptly took a photo of

For a (hopefully) upcoming project detailing the streets of North Park.  This is 33rd and Redwood.
