happy hour on into friday night

I looked at the date on these, and realized I'm 5 months behind posting photos. It occurs to me at this point that maybe I need an easier way post them? Anyway, yeah. Some Friday night happy hour that stretched late, spanned a couple parties, bars, and an apartment. Mostly notable for the walking and the drinking.

epic retro time

This wasn't the last LK2 retro, but it kind of feels like it was. It's certainly the most memorable. We walked all the way to the Biergarten in Hayes Valley, talked about wat was going on, drank beer and ate pretzels. Somewhere, someone has a timelapse taken from the fence of the whole thing. (This has been another Matt Mills zen story, with no real point.)

daily surroundings

These are just more semi-random street pictures. The first two are probabably destined to be part of the ongoing "MacArthur" project, should it ever take more than a vague form. The rest are from the neighborhood around the office. I'm guilty of taking #4 something like 50% of the time I walk on that side of the road, although they're all somewhat different, due to foreground, lighting, composition, etc. I've been thinking a lot about motivation. How do I keep going? So far, it's been enough to keep pushing the button and putting the photos up here. There's some external validation, when I post photos of people and they like them, that helps a lot. But really, I don't know. It's an open question.

photos from the mission

The Mission is still my favorite neighborhood in SF. Noe Valley is where the hipsters have gone, but the mission still has some grit and dirt. Some non-white non-tech people, people not like me. Bars you could get stabbed in, cash only. Several of the world's best burrito joints. Yeah, what's not to like?.
