   DSC02699   My hair matched the paint, the applesauce, and the mustard jars.

First, fuel. Blintzes at David's Deli across from the Clift.

 
   DSC02701  This is the awesome guard who let me into the patio. I had a ticket - don't fire him if you are his boss and reading this. He just helped me skip the damn line and get to the free booze (and my friends). Go, mackin' guard dude.
 This art student took my pen to get an autograph from Shepard Fairey of Obey/Giant fame. He touched my pen! Aactually, she's not a student anymore - she graduated. Now she does data entry.  DSC02704  
Then on to the Yerba Buena... to meet Souris and company.
Lulu and I recently had a discussion about padded bras and whether or not they were unsexy because they hide your nipples. I'm pro padding for certain occasions/effects... but I think Lulu is winning here, with the pink camisole and see-through cotton shirt. HOT! Silvio is so fucking cool. DSC02710
 

Then spent the evening playing with Ian's camera.

 
 Look at him - all still style, despite chaos.  It looks like the light is coming from his head in these photos. DSC02714

This is an animatronic spraypainter. There is another one, pictured further down. Fooled me, for sure - esp. from a distance. DSC02787   The heel of this girl's shoes kept geting caught in the stairs. Three times, men stopped on their way up past her to help ease her hele out of the metal grating, which kind of stunned me.
 

 

some with boards

 
 Silent auction of boards.  DSC02759 DSC02763

some with hats...

 
 Hey kid - if you do check out this page, write me so I can put your name here. Never hurts (esp. when you look like this).  DSC02796 Giant bowl that I didn't get to see - line was hella long. You could see folks drop in, tho, from the back here.

 DSC02812  DSC02815   Second animatronic spraypainter. So ghastly looking! More pix of him in the full gallery (click and then hit the arrows).

 Alan kept asking me if I'd seen bigger. DSC02826 DSC02827
 

 

 
 DSC02831  I think this photo epitomizes the "Beautiful Losers" concept. Look at those guys!!  
 

 

Muchas gracias to Souris for the heads up and invite!
