The principal printing for my new series of San Francisco postcards is finally complete. I squeezed out the fourth layer of the 720th postcard just as some kind of Tango event was beginning at CellSpace, where I screen print. Then I biked up Nob Hill and drank alone in North Beach.
I experienced my first San Francisco earthquake last night (magnitude: 4.6. time: 20:40:00, location: 37.901°N, 122.098°W, depth 16.6 km). Of course there are hundreds of seismic events that take place every day as California continues its steady drift into the Pacific–I just happened to feel this one because I was in the silkscreening studio, gingerly painting at a rolling table. I looked up at Josh as it started to sway and we both laughed. Anyways, there are only a few Bay Area conversations more insufferable than earthquake pissing contests (passive whining about the cost of living and about national politics come to mind), but I was excited to finally feel one. Considered with the Telegraph Hill landslide and the stock market slide, it’s been a strange week around here.
The 2007 CMA Automation midterm is officially in the books.
