vacation fallout

there's a lot to take in while transversing san francisco
you walk down a dirty city block and then you reach a gap
through which you can see forever, slicing through neighborhoods
dramatically ending in a spasm of stacked houses skirting
the massive, undulating green hills reminiscent of hawaiian slopes.
the sky ranges from friendly blue to ominous mist that swallows the hills. the plantlife competes with the architecture for your attention. block after block of buy-sell-trades, coffee shops & graffiti murals

also got an eyeful of visual pleasures as i stumbled down the aisles of the comic convention, peering down bashfully at the wares of hip young kids, i always love being an exhibitor because it feels like your behind the scenes and connected with a whole group of artists with DIY mentality and fresh ideas i wish the visual arts had a similar venue to exhibit at and attending panel discussions about artist-appropriate topics...

I guess Crafty Bastards is the closest thing i've got...and it's a long way off but the preparations are already in motion at work for the 3rd & biggest one yet. monica has already agreed to do it with me again this year.
