Events+moments del 2010: May 11th Dr. Sketchy's girls on bicycles

There are some photos and events I didn't get to publish last year, I will post them in the first couple of weeks of the new year so, some kind of my quasi-review of 2010.

+ + + + +

Last year, Alice invited Amanda, Constance and I to be the models for her fantabulous Dr.Sketchy's event. The theme was Girls on bicycles and the event was SUPER fun. Posing and being still for 5 minutes is pretty hard work. It was awesome to see the pieces of art at the end, meet many of the artists and having a drink to toast for the event. Good times.

The event was at 111 Minna, we brought our bikes in and we posed with one of the bright orange public bikes. The audience was colourful and brught all their pads and pencils and were ready to rock. Here are the photos from the much overdue post from May 2010, so much fun!

Feed the models, had some snacks before heading to the event.

El weekend.

++ Started Friday night, in the Castro.
The streets and the sidewalks are typically pretty crowded.
Weather picked up again to a Californian spoiled January, in the high 50°s F.

Keep clear

++ Saturday morning was to kick it with the boys.
We had a little coffee, loads of food and bottomless drop coffee, then a little more coffee.
These shots are all at Flora Grubb, the coffee (a small kiosk) is by Ritual.
Jerrold near 3rd. street, Bayview district.

++ Saturday night was to kick it with the ladies.
Pizza pies and pointillist paintings.
We got to enjoy a very late evening treat at deYoung, closing at midnight.
The exhibit ends this Tuesday, January 18th.
My absolute two favorites were Sargent's “La Carmencita” and Henri Rousseau's “War.”

Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne and Beyond: Post-Impressionist Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay "The de Young is the only museum in North America to host the exhibition."
