GO VELCRO!
This is a hat i made for my sister for christmas.. i think shes getting a little sick of getting hats everywhere... oh well... i dont think she realizes its hats.. or nothing...i used.. http://aliceindilbertland.blogspot.com/2007/11/butterfly-hat.html that pattern and it was great. its knit out of patons classic merino wool..
my mom paid my way to bus to go see family for christmas.. it was fun. always great times with family. i knit another hat on the bus down and ended up giving it to my cousin. she really dug my knitting which is cool. no pics though... i also knit a hat for her dad (my uncle) he was whining that he wasnt getting any knitting... so i whipped out a hat for him before i left. no pics either... it was just simple black and grey though.. so, i was back in golden for 2 days then OFF TO SAN FRANCISCO!!
ok now onto the good stuff...

A tripped out bridge at the museum
This is what the bridge looks like from the inside..
Leslie in the bridge.. cameras werent allowed so i was "sneakily" taking these pics..
A weird picture i took outside the SFMOMA i like how the tree branches look like veins..
My friend Tawn from back home came to San Francisco with another friend and we all met up down there.. this is a weird picture of her half dissapearing while swinging from tree
This is Trish and X.... The San Franciscans we were meeting up with.. they are fellow burners. we met on the playa... it was awesome to hangout with them outside of Black Rock City
A nice little cross we saw ... lovely... hahahaha
me chillin with the sun...
This is our little crew from canada in our hotel room before the show. it was a costume party... my friend Tawn on the left dressed up really pretty with crafted out shoes she made into bright red glitter shoes while in san fran. then me in the blue moo moo hippie dress.. i didnt have a costume the day of the show so we went to thrift stores and i found this fun dress and decided to be a hippie (original i know) then at the show we drew an X on my forehead and i said i was a chick in the Manson Family... Then theres the Devil poking his head out around me... thats Mike. Then Leslie, shes not wearing her mask but she crafted this costume... She knit a ninja turtle hat, with pigtail holes in the back and the eye part is pink and she cut up shirts and stuff to make the top and elbow bands and knee bands. she also reconned a pair of green mittens into "turtle gloves" and she had a store bought (thrift store find) ninja turtle shell as well.... she looked great... OH i guess i should say... she was going as Leonardo's Girlfriend... the less talked about turtle.... Mona Lisa.... hells yeah.... it was a great idea and people loved it...
This is me and Trish chillin in Golden Gate Park

This is Mike, X and Leslie playing Rockstar... seriously the funnest game EVER! way better then Guitar Hero... you have Guitar, Bass, Vocals and drums... its so interactive and fun. and the music selection is fabulous.... i even sang a few songs!!! it was baaaaaaaaaad. bahahaha but still fun!
And this is Leonard. Trish's cat... hes a fun little guy...
So yes, the trip was amazing... even though we had to take the bus down and back... nearly 2 full days on the bus each way... but so completely worth it... The show was amazing The Mars Volta did an acoustic set at 8pm then a bunch of DJ's played and then Mars Volta came back on and played for nearly 2.5 hours!! they stopped at the new year and did a countdown and a bunch of balloons fell and everyone hugged and what not... and they kept playing and it was amazing....well... i dont know what more to day other then.. FUCK YEAH happy new year ya'll!!!!! hope it was a good one... no resolutions this year... except to keep on moving onwards and upwards!
spiral... out.

Looks like you had a great time! I'd say that 2 hours one way on the bus was worth it.. at least you could knit!
yay for fun!
Yay, fun! I need to go to San Fran to see a good friend of mine, but he's coming to my city instead this month. Nice pics though.
Rockband is the funnest game ever! I played it during the holidays and I couldn't stop. Some people blogged that they didn't like it, but they also don't know you need to sinc up your game to your tv either.
