David Grisman and the DGBX band played last night traditional bluegrass classics in a jazzy style at the brand new Freight and Salvage in Berkeley. The new building looks and sounds beautiful. Dawg told and played the history of bluegrass and it's roots from Bill Monroe's Bluegrass boys to the present with bounteous joy, skill & style as always.

Can't believe how good the new Secret Lives of Seahorses exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium is after visiting yesterday. The Leafy Sea Dragon might be just about the coolest sea creature ever.

Great Friday night opening in the Mission, with artist David Fought, whose studio was also fantastic. 

Friday night SOEX blessed their new space at 3030 20th Street and it was balmy and filled with art and artists.
