First of all, let me share some of the press we got on it: The 510 Report Oakland North The Oakbook I can’t explain how fun it was. We didn’t get a precise head-count, but there were somewhere between 100-150 people there, at Swarm Gallery DJ Peter Van Tassel, & his rockstar sidekick Tony cranked out…

CRE8
We are so proud to announce Cre8 – happening tonight at Swarm Gallery in Oakland. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. My original ideas were (& still are!) Oprah, Bono, Charlize Theron, Desmond Tutu, & a handful of others who are passionate about Africa. I see it in a…

We had a fantastic day last week with ISIS! It began with some fresh oj, Cole coffe, & Mariposa coffeecakes on the bus. We escorted them over the bridge to Pier 14, where we had them bounce on balls, hula-hoop, & jumprope all the way down the pier, while playing rounds of “Pictionary” games on easels…

So – I did a dog-walking stint for awhile. I have to admit – I felt like a bit of a con-artist…not because I don’t like (sometimes even love) dogs. But because, it wasn’t my passion. I couldn’t, with a clear conscious, walk around declaring how I loved to walk dogs, etc. However, I did…
