Bachelorette Backpacking Adventure
This past weekend we celebrated my upcoming event of becoming a married woman by heading out into Ventana for a girls' backpacking adventure. Ever since Mar did her BP up at Orcas I knew that heading to the bar for a late night of partying just wasn't my style.

On Tuesday, MSN hosted video feed of Chris Cornell live at the Fenix in Seattle. He played some of his new songs (love Scar in the Sky) as well as classic hits from his days in Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog.

The Marleys
Ja and I just saw Stephen Marley and Damian Marley at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz and it was a great show. Last fall we saw Damian at the Greek in Berkeley with Ben Harper, but it was great to have a whole night of Raggae and funk/soul.

Night Shoot
Our B&W photo class headed out to Pier 2 Commercial Wharf tonight for a night shoot. It was pretty cold, but once again I came prepared and stayed fairly warm by being bundled. We were taking super long exposures on bulb using a cable release and tripod. Next week we'll be in the lab to develop, so hopefully a few of them will turn out. -
Engagement BBQ
