Pillow Fight Club SF 2k7

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

What better way to get the stress out than whacking a stranger with a pillow? This question was answered when several hundred (a thousand?) people gathered by the Ferry Building for Pillow Fight Club. Personally, I can't think of a better or more appropriate way to spend Valentine's Day. Pictures and videos are below.

Taos Aelthing 2007

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

When I went to the camping goods store to buy a new "base layer" ("long underwear" to the rest of us), I found myself browsing through some of the thickest, warmest clothes I've ever seen. The clerk quipped, "ah, arctic thickness. Headed to somewhere cold?"

"Yep," I replied. It was a brisk 0 degrees Fahrenheit in New Mexico on the weekend that I attended Taos Aelthing 2007. Not even my arctic-wear could prepare me for such cold weather, to say nothing of the eating or drinking or feats of strength and mind. This was also the first trip I took with my new camera, the Canon SD800, so now I can make videos too. Click the image for the album, or try the links below for some highlights.

All in all, a great weekend.
