Check out my pics from my trip to Peru (Lima, Cusco and the highlight was the hike up to Macchu Pichu) and Chile (Valparaiso, SF's sister city and Santiago). We ate lots of amazing food saw amazing orchids and stunning views, fed the chakras for days...

silver dollars/pirate coins

I'm making a giant sculpture/pile of silver coins made out of aluminum foil and I'm looking for some friends to help me make them. It really just involves rolling up a ball of aluminum foil, stepping on it and then flattening out the sides, but its taking me longer than expected to get the size of the pile up there.

As a bribe I was thinking of organizing a few nights cooking food, making drinks and inviting people over to my house to make this alchemy happen... maybe people would want to help me? 

If this sounds fun email me and say hi:

yes!

Center for Cultural Innovation

The Center for Cultural Innovation (CCI) was launched in 2001 to promote knowledge sharing, networking and financial independence for individual artists and creative entrepreneurs by providing business training, grants and loans, and incubating innovative projects that create new program knowledge, tools and practices for artists in the field.

In the spring of 2007, CCI opened an office in San Francisco, marking the transition from Los Angeles based programming to statewide services. CCI provides a range of programs designed to serve the needs of individual artists, including a statewide grants program called Investing in Artists. The next deadline is June 6, 2008 for artists seeking to acquire the equipment and tools that will sustain their long-term ability to make work. More information about CCI and the Investing in Artists program can be found at www.cciarts.org
