Walking Around Oakland

Last Sunday we were walking around sunny downtown Oakland, California, before my friend C. Ryder Cooley’s most excellent Animalia performance. I came across this storefront installation of plants growing in used nylons. Genius.

plants growing in used nylonsPlants don’t ever care if they have a run in their stockings.

While strolling down Telegraph Avenue we also came across this illuminating signage; personally I have never been a huge fan of fences either.

soon fences will be obsolete

Stories of Collapse, Calamity & Departure

Cooley and friends will be performing Animalia one last time at the Lab in San Francisco on Thursday, July 16th at 8pm. The event is part of the annual Mission Creek Music and Arts Festival.

    I love Rhonda Winter’s blog posts and articles! They are the best! I always recommend them because they are both positive and pithy. a great combination. the recommend feature on this one seems to not work though, it wasn’t recording my thumbs up, so I decided to drop a line.

    Thanks so very much Ida. I do so strive for both the positive and pithy, in equal amounts.
