Hardly Strictly Bluegrass

Jeff and I were only able to make it out to this fantastic music fair for one day this year, Sunday. We got to hear (I say hear rather than "saw" because the crowds are so huge that getting very close to the stage is a near impossibility) Roseanne Cash (my favorite of the day), Nick Lowe, Dave Alvin, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, and the Indigo Girls. Here's a few pictures from our day. . .

These two ladies were selling the yummiest aqua frescas, cantaloupe and spicy lemonade!

The crowd. We like to go to this event picnic style. We bring a blanket and lots of food and drinks and pick a stage that has the most acts at it that we both want to see and then we basically hunker down and camp out for the day. It's really fun and I find it much less stressful than rushing from stage to stage frantically trying to get to see EVERYONE. I got to catch up on my NY Times reading too.

and lastly. . . what I wore.
Good night for now!

Long Weekend

A long weekend it was, for most people at least! I worked most of the weekend at the coffee shop, but I did manage to fit in some time for fun and good food and time with the people I love.


My boyfriend and I almost always go to Jupiter, in Berkeley on Sunday nights. Not only do they have great beer and pizza, but they also have free, live bluegrass music. I looooove bluegrass music. It might sound a bit cheesy, but for me, hearing bluegrass feels a little like finding home.



Jewelry work was a bit neglected the last few days, I must say. I'm looking forward to a good, solid four days of dedicated work time. I'm still getting ready for the Temescal Street Fair too. Hope to see those of you who are local there!
