The Drum Rolls – The Ruffs, The Flams, And The Single Strokes!
The Cougar Cadet Drum Line rocked out on the Embarcadero one glorious Saturday. Wonderful technique and groovy stuff from some really young players, such an inspiration. Check out more on them here, and hey, why not make a donation?
Checking In
Aki really got me into the whole Foursquare thing. I was constantly trying to beat him to the punch with the check-ins. Here we are in Pi Bar, Valencia and 25th.

This is a really cool building on the corner of Howard and Sixth. Called "Defenestration", it is actually an art installation that makes for some great "what the hell?" moments when riding around the city. It's really beautiful and playful, and they executed it with great sense of humor--and careful rigging. And, defenestration used to be the method of choice for getting rid of pesky points of view when all the peeps were living in, like, castles. (Remember the scene from Braveheart where the effeminate prince dude gets it? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.) Check out more here.
