5/29 Band Of Horses Live at Amoeba
13 years ago
My favorite ‘any mood’ band to listen too is Band of Horses. The sound is just so ‘on’ for me, and nearly any of their songs can put me in a good place mentally. A few years ago when Band of Horses was just getting big on the West coast, I used to tell my Minneapolis based friends that I wanted a Band of Horses song to play while I walk down the isle at my wedding. I’m not sure this holds true today, but I sincerely hope that Band of Horses isn’t a band that I grow out of over time like others that once were my favorite (I’m thinking Alberta Cross, Broken Social Scene, the Heartless Bastards, Spoon, etc.).
I am happy to share that Band of Horses is playing at Amoeba Music on Haight Street on 5/29 at noon. If you are free and in the area, please stop out and support this band on my behalf.

BLACK V
A social event celebrating Halo Republic’s official launch with San Francisco Bay Area’s fashion mavens
(San Francisco, CA): Halo Republic is pleased to announce its official launch, to be held on Saturday, May 29th 2010 from 6-9pm at one of San Francisco’s most elegant new venues: Press Club (20 Yerba Buena Lane). Under the direction of Owen Buenaventura, Del Geronimo, Ivan Yartsev, and Virginie Suos, Black V is the premier fashion event for fine style connoisseurs looking to toast an evening of beautiful fashion, with photo shoot and special guest appearances. The fashion show starts at 8pm and features designs by Bacca Da Silva, Dcepcion, Alexandria Von Bromssen, Tamo Design, and Joseph Domingo as well as jewelry designers Kaatje and Mike Sg.
In addition to being a unique showcase of impressive couture and finely tailored garments, the event promises to attract the participation of some of the most creative makeup artists, trend setting hair stylists and stunning runway models including San Francisco Institute of Esthetics and Cosmetology and SF modeling agencies. Black V also features SF-based indie rock band The Family Crest to infuse live orchestral sound to the DJ’s music.
According to creative director Owen Buenaventura,
“Black V stands for dark and voluptuous- Valentine, Vamp, Vendetta or Victory.” He adds, “The concept of this exciting event is to create a relaxed environment that is yet edgy, vampy, sexy, cultish and mysterious for fashionistas. Style code will be fashionably black!”
Fashion representatives (stylists, photographers, retailers, editors and bloggers), selected VIP’s, and corporate sponsors are sure to enjoy this event. Black V is open to the public with a suggested donation of $20 to benefit Stellar | San Francisco Fashion Awards, a non-profit organization that recognizes outstanding and creative talents in SF bay area.
As the sexiest underground fashion production in San Francisco with a reputation of attracting some of the city’s most influential industry leaders, it is no surprise that Halo Republic has turned to the Press Club. In downtown San Francisco, Press club is a wine bar offering an exclusive array of wines direct from six Northern California’s most acclaimed wineries. The luxuriously modern interior features dedicated tasting bars, and social sipping lounges that will make the social experience even more stylish, and seductive.

MAV Foundation Fashion Show
14 years ago
I attended the MAV Foundation fashion show last Saturday in San Francisco with some of my friends at Moxsie and Gymboree. The show benefited the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. There were a handful of Bay Area designers who showed pieces at the show including Moxsie – an online retailer, Made Jewlery, Eric Tan, Pinky Couture, Rexy Closet and CA Designs to name a few. The show was a whopping two and a half hours long, by the end of it I was tired and ready to call it a night. Most of the collections weren’t incredibly technical, and some weren’t event designed by hand, but rather purchased goods re-wroked which is such a copout.
