I feel lucky I had the opportunity to watch you work during my internship.

Nice background, weird to think of it at Jesuit when it sounds/looks like a big deal affair.

The turnout kind of bumms me out, especially when compared to last years. Did Capitol do anything different, advertisement-wise?

Sidenote: click on his highligted name in the fourth paragraph for the chef's blog.

Anthony hit the nail on the head with the stranger's heaven comment; when you are surrounded by like 3,000 people in costume laughing, dancing and having an inordinate amount of fun, it really intrigues you. I totally did some research on anime after Saturday. I was kind of jealous when I couldn't recognize characters. I think the sword was made out of wood. It was massive, "Cloud" had to rest it on his shoulder to carry it, and when the hilt was on the ground it was taller than him. The costume weaponry was incredibly detailed. www.cosplay.com is an interesting site about anime costumes.

Sounds like a fun night.

However, who knows for the future? Maybe TwinSoup will take over northern CA? :) Sonia Lucyga 2009-08-22T23:39:09Z Sonia Lucyga comment-12371 2009-08-20T21:05:31Z 2009-08-20T21:05:31Z Illuminating! I had always wondered about Parkour...The philosophy behind it is phenomenal and totally applicable to day to day existence. I think we could all be more aware of our physical boundaries, or lack thereof!

It loos liek a lot of the musicians are singer/songwriters...no bands? Sonia Lucyga 2009-08-13T23:49:58Z Sonia Lucyga comment-12073 2009-08-13T21:45:23Z 2009-08-13T21:45:23Z It's $20 for 10 games. They had great drink deals like $2 Washington Apples. I don't know what charity will be benefitted Aug. 26, but David Mansch and Richard Borill (owners of Hamburger Patties) said they would like to partner up with the SPCA and also gay oriented charities.

I don't even know what sludge is, but the piece was so communicative I think I got it. More music reviews! Sonia Lucyga 2009-08-11T19:45:04Z Sonia Lucyga comment-11913 2009-08-11T19:18:12Z 2009-08-11T19:18:12Z In a story that has been splayed on various news institutions nationwide, this focused perspective brings it back to two mother/friends/sisters returning to their families after an extended period of terrifying limbo. I attended a Ling and Lee vigil at the Capitol and this story rang very true to the sentiments and incredible support provided by the community. I think this piece really exemplifies the angles and possibilities Sac Press can offer.

I like their approach to "making it big" whatever that means. To me, their obvious love of music and devotion to a complete, satisfied life is an ultimate success.

I'm visualizing crumping for some reason.

As with anything, the fact that i have now have a base, albeit still small ha, of understanding about brakeless fixies considerably lessens the stigmatized stereotypes i mayyy have once indulged in.

I've combed all your stuff on SP, it's all hilarious and totally readable for both foodies (my father) and those who love food, but can't cook (myself). More posts please! :) Sonia Lucyga 2009-07-09T08:20:39Z Sonia Lucyga comment-10468 2009-07-09T05:40:29Z 2009-07-09T05:40:29Z Is there a demographic for those who refuse to use brakes? I am also unfamiliar with bike culture, and i am trying to visualize why and what type of people would not ride with a brake. It sounds like a purist, idealist kind of thing?

Does anyone know if opening night is bigger or has any special events/entertainment?

I know they are playing at Launch, a music and design festival in July. http://launch.vhcle.com/ Sonia Lucyga 2009-06-30T01:59:32Z Sonia Lucyga comment-10011 2009-06-30T01:57:45Z 2009-06-30T01:57:45Z Thanks Tina! I really enjoyed the event. Sonia Lucyga 2009-06-30T01:57:45Z Sonia Lucyga comment-10007 2009-06-29T22:35:35Z 2009-06-29T22:35:35Z Thanks for a much more accurate estimate! Hooray for brewskie sales Sonia Lucyga 2009-06-29T22:35:35Z Sonia Lucyga comment-9966 2009-06-29T16:28:42Z 2009-06-29T16:28:42Z Thanks David, my estimation is around 400. I was talking to a group of previous SAMMIE attendees and they said this years turnout was a success despite the heat. I think people really enjoyed the option of having different areas to mingle around and activities to check out. Also, there was no segregating of the musicians and fans, no special blocked off area where they were designated to drink water and look cool before they came on. A band would come right off a stage and be able to immediately talk with their fans and freinds. The result was a lot of love for the community and its talented members :) Sonia Lucyga 2009-06-29T16:28:42Z Sonia Lucyga comment-9879 2009-06-26T18:30:10Z 2009-06-26T18:30:10Z Great article, i really liked hearing exactly what the kids were saying, especially the quote from Heather Cox. i didn't even know what a Proposition was when i was in 5th grade, let alone whether i agreed with one or not. " Roll up your sleeves and Drop your agenda"? are you kidding me?! this girl makes me excited about the future generation/nervous that my children will have to be wunderkinds to get into college. Great job hawa Sonia Lucyga 2009-06-26T18:30:10Z Sonia Lucyga comment-9812 2009-06-23T21:36:57Z 2009-06-23T21:36:57Z Cool to highlight an individual like Imagine, i love his quote about DIY factor in the punk scene. I think there is a huge untapped and kind of unnoticed source of originality and artistry in that community (distorted by life suckers such as Hot Topic). I was stoked to see how this background shaped his success. way to go paul/nice work jenn!

Sonia Lucyga 2009-06-22T22:31:16Z Sonia Lucyga comment-9770 2009-06-22T20:28:47Z 2009-06-22T20:28:47Z Really interesting angle with about families at the festival. I like the idea of tattoos as artwork rather than a brand. It was neat to read about parents who share that view, even Barbie likes tattoos (much to the dismay of many ): http://www.digtriad.com/news/features/article.aspx?storyid=120212&catid=216 Sonia Lucyga 2009-06-22T20:28:47Z Sonia Lucyga comment-9769 2009-06-22T20:16:13Z 2009-06-22T20:16:13Z i didn't know the festival had events like this, i wish i would have gone. I love big hair. I want to see the film too.

The title is awesome, big green hand for jonathon for cool ass coverage! Sonia Lucyga 2009-06-20T06:28:07Z Sonia Lucyga comment-9696 2009-06-20T06:18:02Z 2009-06-20T06:18:02Z JT, I think the community echos your concerns about appropriately filling the ex-classrooms. A big issue for the committee was that the sites retain the option to be re-used as schools. They also are advising the board that the leases be no longer than 3 years, and are adamantly opposed to any property being sold. It will be interesting to see what the Board of Education decides to do with the six sites, and how much they heed this committee's advice. Sonia Lucyga 2009-06-20T06:18:02Z Sonia Lucyga comment-9635 2009-06-18T21:09:43Z 2009-06-18T21:09:43Z The bad guys vs Police is such a great angle. This type of coverage is particularly interesting because its obvious the story doesn't end when the text does. Not to mention the vintage style reworked in a way that makes it relevant. What a cool piece, this storyline is exciting Sonia Lucyga 2009-06-18T21:09:43Z Sonia Lucyga comment-9633 2009-06-18T20:56:26Z 2009-06-18T20:56:26Z Great photos!

Not only does it promote local growing but infuses a social/community aspect into a process that grocery stores and bulk buying have turned into a rather mundane one. I never knew about the urban farm stand, great coverage. makes me also want a pluot. Sonia Lucyga 2009-06-18T20:43:16Z
