Counter Culture

Vetrazzo counter milefiori

If you’ve ever spent a Sunday looking at real estate open houses, you’ll see the depressing sight of the omnipresent kitchen granite table top. It’s the upscale meme that has spread like a virus. If you don’t know about Vetrazzo, and you’re thinking about new countertops. You need to get out and see this stuff. Vertrazzo is 100% recycled glass, we’re talking old traffic lights, windshields, bottles, etc. Each of the styles has a story about the origin of the glass.

Vetrazzo has created a green business, and that’s great, but it’s the beauty of the product that really matters. Check it out.

King Harvest (has surely come)

Published September 2, 2007 by cgerrish

There’s something wonderful about being able to link to to things like this. It’s 1970 and The Band is playing King Harvest in their studio in Woodstock, New York. It’s just a different vision of what rock and roll should be.

Mimi Jensen: September 6, 2007

Mimi Jensen: Montecristo

If you’re in San Francisco on September 6th, drop by the opening of Mimi Jensen’s new show at the Hespe Gallery. Mimi has provided a preview of the show on her Web site. Her paintings are filled with wit, an unerring sense of composition and a master’s hand with oil paint.

Here’s the info:

Hespe Gallery
251 Post Street, Suite 420
San Francisco, CA 94108
415-776-5918
September 6, 2007

Remember, paintings can’t really be seen on a computer screen. You need to meet them face-to-face. And ideally, you need to live them and have a silent conversation over the years. It’s then that you really begin to understand the meaning of value.

Arcadia 2007: Bravo!

Published May 7, 2007 by cgerrish

Arcadia 2007 was a tremendous success. The proceeds from the event topped $185,000.00 and that money will help Friends of the Urban Forest continue its mission of creating a greener San Francisco. Arcadia is also a lesson in individual action and the power of bringing people together for a common purpose. Arcadia was conceived by artists as a way to make a significant contribution to San Francisco’s urban ecosystem. Arcadia turns art into trees.

And all good intentions aside, the party was amazing and the art was stellar. 560 people packed the California Modern Gallery and had an absolute blast. It was a perfect evening.
