Featured! Well. Kinda. Bare Magazine Blog.

I shot the PlayGREEN festival last Friday for UC Berkeley's premier fashion magazine, Bare Magazine. They're awesome. It was an awesome event. I had lotsa fun. And, on top of that, they published some of my photos on their blog as they talked about the event. 

p.s. I did push ups at the Cal ROTC booth and actually made the record board for the women! Yee! They had my name up there as the "Title Holder" until I left. I don't think I got the most for the whole event in the end (there were another two hours after that for somebody--or multiple somebodies--to beat my record), but it still felt good. And my arms could feel all FORTY SEVEN push-ups the next three days. Ha ha. I'll work on those push-ups and just blow them out of the water next time their little booth is set up somewhere. (:

I can see Russia from my city.

Yesterday the crew headed to San Francisco to, well, visit Russia. Well, at least we got a little taste of the culture, people, food, and vodka. (: 

Held at the Russian Center in San Francisco, the 2010 Russian festival was a complete success. It was held in cool old building and decorated very appropriately with:

1. Photos of old Russians of importance:

And, 2. Beautiful paintings of Moscow:

Among other things we also discovered basketball nets and old vents in the gymnasium.

How could you not like this place?! (Or Polaroids...) Yes, it's the same photo, transformed with Poladroid. I will eventually get a real Polaroid camera but until then I will continue to just be a poser... sigh.

 Especially when that room was actually decorated like this for the festival:

And when you could find such delicious treats as this for purchase: 

Yummm...

Upstairs there were some pretty awesome performers. I couldn't get a lot of photos because, well, it was a performance and I wasn't hired to snoop around with my camera, but I loved the classic Russian culture in the old auditorium and couldn't help myself with this one. Ha ha. Anyways, this is some famous Russian dancer who also played the accordion. Coo. 

We walked back to BART instead of taking the bus and, in the glossy post rain and the beginning of the night, I got this cool photo of, well, bonus points for anybody who can tell me what building this is. (:

Overall, a very successful adventure. (:

Russia? Yeah, I've been. 

Ha ha, I wishhhhh....

Cal Beats Stanford (RAWR)

Cal fans can get pretty intense. Case in point, this Thunderbird. Perfectly decorated to be Cal spirited in every possible way, it was amazing. After we won, they drove around in victory, honking the horn and shouting, "Go bears!"

I want one!

The kids of the Thunderbird owner were scouts and they wandered around the parking lot (if you can call it that) selling homemade wreaths for Christmas. So freakin' cute.

This sketch car parked next to us. Please note: (a) no license plate, and (b) hideous color (yee, haha).

Our intense tailgating set up required some ingenious car usage. See below.

Bo arrived in style. Damn, look at that truck!

BBQing! :D
