The picture at the top is Cafe Van Kleef in Oakland. My BIL played a show there on Thursday night. Great music, great venue and great drinks. They make greyhounds (one of my favorite drinks) with fresh grapefruit juice served with this huge slice of juicy grapefruit on the side. Check out the band at www.myspace.com/funkrevivalorchestra.
Unfortunately it has been a hectic week for me so I have not had the chance to blog. Fortunately, it has also been a very exciting week! Stay tuned for pictures from M & D's election party. M outdid himself with Obama T-shirts for all and lots of good food from El Metate. I partied a little too much and came away with this terrible cold that I can't seem to kick. It has put a damper on my blogging, but a few highlights from the week were the election party, ceramics class and seeing my brother in law's band debut in Oakland.
I have been taking ceramics for about a year and just switched over to using
porcelain clay. This made a huge difference in my pieces. Now those not so pretty pieces suddenly took on this whole delicate quality and after glazing almost would be passible to sell (maybe at a flea market, but nonetheless). Obviously, I have a career which was secured greatly by the election of President Obama (love writing that), but I can always dream of working as a potter in my basement and selling pieces at a little gallery in Oakland. Here is my most recent porcelain piece and my first successful lid.
