My Thing of the Day

Arty Party with Tomato Soup

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 21:37:00 +0000

Sorry I didn't post for the entire month of February - it just flew by! There was no shortage of things to do though, so here we are again, kicking off March in style - 60's style that is.

Check out Amoeba Records' Factory Party this Friday night in Emeryville. It's a re-creation of Andy Warhol's Factory Party from the 60's complete with Velvet Underground cover bands and screen tests. They're encouraging dressing up in 60's clothes - that can only add to the atmosphere! I've got some great yellow boots for the occasion... will have to see what else I can come up with.

And it's for a good cause too. Bring cans of Campbell’s Soup to donate to the Alameda County Food Bank and be entered to win far-out prizes: museum passes, original art, local restaurant gift certificates, video accessories and games, Amoeba gift certificates, and more. Every can is a chance to win!

To top it off - it's FREE. Food and Beverage Sampling: $10 ($5 with valid student ID) Proceeds benefit Pro Arts. Food and drink area featuring the East Bay's finest restaurants, caterers, wineries, and breweries.

Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.

Best Seats in the Sky

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 09:05:00 +0000

I just learned about this super awesome website - Seat Guru! It's got every airline and seat maps of all the plane types flown by that airline. AND these seat maps are annotated with information about each individual seat as you mouse over them, so you know what you're in for and aren't disappointed that your view is blocked by the engine, or worse yet, you're in the one row that doesn't recline!

In my most recent reservation, after picking seat 7A, thinking it was one behind the bulkhead, so it would have stowage, but also a good view, I consulted this site, only to find that seat has a protrusion from the wall making it slightly uncomfortable, but that the bulkhead seats have foot cutouts, so there's room for your feet to stretch AND even a small bag! Wow! I never would've known until I was unhappily seated on the plane that day.

Here's to no more unpleasant seating surprises in the sky!

Owning the O

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 04:58:00 +0000

I've recently been struck by how many people and ads are playing off the whole Obama O thing. But as I thought more about it, I wondered, does Obama own the O?

One of the first things when I think of an O, is the old jingle for Oreo Cookies... "Oh, oh, oh, who's that kid with the Oreo cookie...O-R-E-O."

And then while we're on the subject of food O's you can't forget the classic "Incredible O" Cheerio's. These have a good all-american O feeling to them too.

As a kid I went to a few Baltimore Orioles games, and loved cheering on the "O's." I got a kick out of yelling especially loudly on the "Oh! say can you see..." before the game started.

And you can't forget America's favorite lady O... Yes, there was Jackie O, but there's also Oprah. She has her own magazine that just goes by the single letter O, and that happens the first thing that comes up when you Google O. That lady really knows how to market.

Then along came Obama, the reigning king of the O. He branded it perfectly, made it available to the masses, and they embraced the O. It got incorporated into every word in his campaign.

Artists were empowered to design posters, many of which revolved around the Obama O.

And really famous artists who already had established themselves with a twist on the O, re-purposed their artwork for his purpose. You can see some of their art at a gallery show in New York going on now.

Then Pepsi got on the bandwagon, promoting their new "Refresh" campaign, and showcasing their new (and in my opinion, lacking) logo by placing it in words instead of the O's, just like Obama. Does Obama even drink Pepsi?

But nothing can beat the power of two O's together - "Ooh!" and now I wonder what position Obama will give Oprah in his administration. Is there a COO position open in the federal government? O & O apparently did have a heart to heart in '04.

Flashback to the 80's

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:58:00 +0000

It's time for the annual Rubik's cube competition at the Exploratorium. Watch the nerds and the geeks and possibly your "cube" neighbor as they test their mettle at this retro-fashionable contest.

The event will be run by a team of cubers from the Caltech, Berkeley, and Stanford Cube Clubs. They say on their site: San Francisco Open 2009 is open to competitors of all nationalities and skill levels. Anybody who can solve a cube—or has a curiosity for cubing—is encouraged to attend. World records were broken at all the previous Exploratorium competitions. Will it happen again? Come and find out!

Intergalactic Planetary travel

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 00:33:00 +0000

I came across these posters today and they made my wanderlust fire up, wanting to go beyond our world! Too bad it's not quite as hospitable as these posters make it look. But skiing on Pluto! Sounds awesome!

Artist Steve Thomas (no, as far as I can tell, not the same guy from This Old House), has created these great posters in the style of the vintage WPA travel posters for each of the planets (and Pluto). The images are very charming in their own retro-futuristic sort of way. These would definitely be up in the Jetson's house, I think!

Steve has prints available for as little as $11.95 or you can get larger fancy prints on canvas framed and ready to go! They'd make great prints for your space station condo, or your place here on earth.

Showing my Cards

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 23:16:00 +0000

Since I can only cover so many things here, and obviously, I've been a bit remiss in keeping this up to date anyway, I thought I'd take this opportunity to share one of my sources.

FunCheapSF.com is one of my favorite places to find out about the goings on here, especially those that are fun and cheap! I met Johnny Hayes, AKA Johnny FunCheap, at a San Francisco Small Business Administration class about how to get your business started, and it was like meeting a minor celebrity. He was so nice and easy going, and after meeting him, I knew for sure that I would trust his advice on what to do. He does a great job of curating his list, and I've often followed his recommendations, and was not disappointed.

And today, I just saw that he was featured on NPR in an interview. Listen for yourself and you'll get the idea. He's on first, but then followed by some others who are doing things in a similar vein, so you could listen to the whole thing if you want. Links to a bunch more useful sites are also listed here. Among them, myBART.org (free events near BART stations), MyOpenBar.com (places to find free drinks), and TunedInSF.com (free music events).

And to further vouch for Johnny FunCheap's events, he listed an event that I was putting on a while back, and everyone I met who came who had read about it on FunCheap were super nice cool people too. And totally a diverse bunch, exemplifying the greatness that is San Francisco.

So, don't hide in your homes with the heat cranked up thinking that you're saving money in the recession. Turn down the heat and head out to see what you find!

New Year's Resolutions

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 21:59:00 +0000

Well, it looks like I fell off my blog in July... Let's see if I can do better this year! Not sure what happened there, but there's nothing like a new year to get started up again!

Today I was inspired by what everyone always says they want to do in the new year - lose a few pounds. Well, the Epicurious website had a lot of ideas for that.

First, they had a great chart that broke down all the different fad diets, and how to choose the one best for you. Looks like I'll be on the Mediterranean diet because I like to actually eat. It might not be the fastest way to a bikini bod, but hey, I want to have a little fun!

Reading a little more in the Epicurious healthy section, they had this selection of gadgets to help with weight loss. My favorite were some portion control plates with a nice graphic treatment to remind you to fill your plate with more veggies than the other stuff. Some of the other items were a little obsessive, but if you're taking it seriously, it's probably not a bad idea to pay attention to these things.

Cheers to a happy and healthy 2009! Now on to more blogging for the new year... No fear, I'm sure this will still include plenty of chocolate and wine features too.

Berry funky flavor

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 06:08:00 +0000

Have you heard the latest? There's this West African berry - Miracle Fruit (Sideroxylon dulcificum) that numbs your sour and bitter taste buds so it makes everything you eat afterwards taste totally sweet!

And what's even more crazy is that these guys from NY have started importing it and having "Flavor Tripping" parties! They supply the berry and the buffet, and you go to town freaking out about how the grapefuit tastes like pixi stix and the cheese tastes like frosting. They did a write up on it in the NY Times. Sounds like a bunch of people x-ing if you ask me, but hey, this is like food x. Can't be all bad!

They're having one of these parties on monday, but it's sold out already. But check out the site and sign up for the mailing list so you can know in time for the next one. These guys also seem to sell the berries so you could have your own flavor trip party too! But buyer beware, the fruit is highly perishable and very expensive - like $2 a berry.

Peace Out!

Oooh. That's so Cheezy!

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:49:00 +0000

Sometimes, we all just want a little cheese. And it's even better if it's tasty cheese! Don't miss the opportunity this sunday at Bar Bambino in the Mission to tast award winning cheeses from the American Cheese Society's 25th Annual Convention and Competition. Now that's a convention I would happily attend. But you might have to roll me out of there at the end!

The folks at Bar Bambino are pairing these cheeses with award winning wines as well for a perfect sunday afternoon treat. You'll need to reserve a spot and pay ahead, so visit their site for more info.

Donuts go high brow

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:23:00 +0000

Is it bad if I think a lemon-thyme donut with honey glaze sounds better than an Old Fashioned? Does that officially make me a yuppie foodie? Well, if it does, so be it. I just read about he opening of Dynamo Donut and Coffee in the mission, and I can't wait until my travels take me past there, and there's that parking spot right out front to justify me stopping in. I mean, I can't go out to get a donut with no other motive, right? But the bacon-apple with maple glaze or caramel fleur de sel donuts might just make me do that. Thank goodness I don't live within walking distance or I would have gone today for breakfast!

Of course these donuts are made with the highest quality local and organic ingredients like Mint Hill honey made from real hives in the Castro. Talk about local. But all this attention to detail does still ignore one, that they are still deep fried, and the fat will still stick to your gut/thighs/other problem areas. So proceed at your own risk. But enjoy every moment.

Gimme some Umami

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:21:00 +0000

Have you ever heard of this - Umami, the 5th taste? It's this Japanese sensation that from what I can gather - is basically seaweed. Well not really, but that's one of the things that is has the umami flavor - sort of a sweet/salty/acidic combo. Typically it was brought out in foods by using MSG, but now chefs are exploring other ways to introduce it to us.

The Umami Information Center (now that's a niche if there ever was one) is hosting a tasting dinner at the Hyatt downtown on the 21st. I totally want to go, but I'll be at another wedding. But you should go! One of the chefs is Thomas Keller! It's only $100 - a good price for a special meal prepared by start chefs, if you ask me. You'll have to take the day off work though - it's a Monday from 11:30AM - 4:30PM. A regular umami feast it sounds like.

But, if like me you're not around, or your boss knows umami isn't a disease that can keep you "home from work," the restaurant Ame has their own umami tasting menu that is available from July 14-Aug 3.

And if you'd rather try it at home, you can find recipes on the Umami Info site. Yum! I also found this cookbook on Amazon. I might have to add it to my library. I'm so intrigued by the way they say umami is in foods from around the world - and they happen to be all my favorites! Everything from gazpacho and salads with anchovies to Vietnamese Spring Rolls to those crazy Japanese "pizzas," okonomiyaki.

Bon Appetit!

Now it's time for the blue, white and red!

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 01:07:00 +0000

I know I've posted something about this here last year, but I still like it, and hope that this year, I'll actually be able to go! It's almost time again for bastille day, and the french are getting started early at the Rickshaw Stop with the 10th anniversary of Bardot-a-go-go.

Back in '96 I spent Bastille Day in Paris with my friend whose b-day is right before. We celebrated her 21st b-day dancing all night long in a club near the Arch de Triumph. We didn't want to pay to take a taxi home, so we stayed out until the subway started up again at 6am. Anyway, the point of my story is, that I'm going to do my best to get her to come out on Friday night to go to this! Although I suspect we'll be home before 6 this time.

Crafty Junkie

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 20:13:00 +0000

If you are as much of a junky for modern craft fairs as I am, then you should head over to Fort Mason next weekend for the Renegade Craft Fair. Thankfully, craft fairs have evolved from the crochet kleenex box cozies and seashell animal art I saw ask a kid, to cool, small production t-shirts, beautiful letterpress stationery, and funky tote bags. I checked out the link to some of the vendors at this event, and there's even a custom flavor vegan ice cream vendor. Sounds like it's worth a try!

Apparently this fair has been held successfully in Brooklyn and Chicago, so we're lucky they've expanded to us here in SF! There are 200 vendors, and since they received double that amount of applicants, the sponsor has had to carefully choose the best ones to include, most exemplifying the idea of DIY and contemporary. No doilies here!

Home for the 4th

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 20:22:00 +0000

Unfortunately, I'll be sweating out the Fourth at a wedding in North Carolina, but if you're lucky enough to be in town here in the cool fog, our friends at Fun Cheap SF have put together the most comprehensive list of 4th of July Goings on.

Were I here, I would have gone to the quaint east bay hamlet of Moraga, where my parents live to celebrate there. It's just hot enough to feel like summer, and you can sit up in the old walnut orchard to watch the fireworks. And I highly recommend checking out the Dog Parade as well. (That's my God-dog, Maya, in the foreground; she won "best body," and my dog nephew is somewhere there too, winning "smoothest coat." Every dog's a winner!)

And then there's always the stay in town option of finding a friend's roof top and camping out up there to watch the fireworks around the bay, and the scary goings on throughout the city. A couple years ago, I sat up on a rooftop near Duboce Park, and we saw the Mission going CRAZY, fire jugglers somewhere in the Castro, and some folks attempting their own shows in Potrero Hill. As well as the pro shows all the way from Sausalito to Fremont (or whatever's down that way...)

Happy 4th!

Update to the dump visit post

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:22:00 +0000

My friend and subscriber, John Glenn (Not the astronaut), just reminded me that I should update you all on a fantastic change to the SF recycling rules, since I had published the post about my trip to the dump.

His note today:

Just a quick Public Service Announcement:

Around Earth Day this year, San Francisco expanded their recycling of plastic. You may have previously been carefully sorting good plastic from bad, but no longer!

Plastic bags are still a NO-NO, even if they are "recyclable plastic." Same with Saran wrap. These must be put in the black trash bin. They gum up the machinery.

But any type of RIGID plastic can now go into the blue recycling bin!

Here's a summary chart:

Ugly site, useful info

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:46:00 +0000

While they should definitely win the award for ugliest website, SanFranGasPrices.com does offer us a very useful service - showing listings of your local gas prices and where the stations are. I was happy to see that the stations I usually choose are both the same price, and within realm of being on the cheaper side. And if you really want to drive all the way across town for the cheapest gas, now you'll know where to go, and you can even map it.

They also offer some other interesting tools, like the gas price temperature map - this map shows the distribution of prices across the country - with California being nice and red - the most expensive. I guess there are other reasons why we live here, right?

And there's this chart that shows the price increase over the months or years. Makes me a little sick to realize it wasn't THAT long ago that I was paying $1-something for gas, and now it's gone up a dollar in about 2 months, where it took 2 years to do that between 2002 and 2004! Scary.

Go to the beach!

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 19:36:00 +0000

I just saw this, and thought it looked so cool, that I must share!

Sue Lawty, an artist working with the Victoria and Albert museum in London has created this project that we can all help her out with - it's called the "World Beach Project." The idea is that people from all over the world go to the beach, collect stones, organize them by color, size, etc. and create some sort of drawing with them on the sand. Then the process is photographed by the artist (one photo of the whole beach, one of the work in progress, and one of the final product.) and uploaded to the V&A site for the project and pinpointed on a google map. You can go here to see what people have done all over the world so far. And there's only one submission from the Marin Headlands, so I think SF is prime for an addition!

I think I'm going to make one soon! I'll share my pics when I do it. And hopefully if any of you do, share too! you can add a comment to this post and put your link here for us to see your pics!

Chocolatey treats

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 17:37:00 +0000

I know wine and chocolate often fill these pages, but there's something about it that draws me in... and this time it's Charles Chocolates - and all their events. I saw a listing for their Chocolate making class on Daily Candy today. Which sounded great! Learn from the experts! Why not? But read further down their page, and they're showing chocolate/foodie movies on their porch for the summer months! How sweet is that?

Sounds like a great way to spend a friday night in the East Bay!

From their site:
All movies will start playing at 8:30pm and are FREE to attend!
June 13th: Chocolat (2000). Lasse Hallstrom. USA.
June 27th: Ratatouille (2007). Brad Bird. USA.
July 11th: Like Water for Chocolate (1992). Alfonso Arau. Mexico.
July 25th: Big Night (1996). Stanley Tucci and Campbell Scott. USA.
August 8th: Mostly Martha (2001). Sandra Nettlebeck. Germany.
August 22nd: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). Tim Burton. USA.

Geek out with Dad

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:46:00 +0000

All our dad's have probably had enough of the typical Dad's day celebrations - golf, naps, us mowing the lawn for them, things like that. This year, why not try something a little out of the norm - and probably most appealing to those dads you've been giving sci-fi books to for his birthday each year - a trip to RoboGames at Fort Mason. As they say on their website:
RoboGames is the world's largest open robot competition (even the Guinness Book of World Records says so!) We invite the best minds from around the world to compete in over 70 different events. Combat robots, walking humanoids, soccer bots, sumo bots, and even androids that do kung-fu. Some robots are autonomous, some are remote controlled - but they're all cool!

Events include Fire-Fighting, Lego Challenge, Sumo Figthing, Bartending, Botsketball, Kung Fu, Weightlifting and more!

A little fun for us graphic designers

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 23:47:00 +0000

Today I had a productive morning, but I'm losing steam. I came across this video and it totally made me laugh.

Now I know where to send pesky clients, because who needs designers anyway? :)

Back on its perch

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 15:53:00 +0000

The Owl Tree - one of those cozy little corner haunts that adds to the texture of San Francsico - was in danger of becoming extinct when its owner passed away earlier this year, but luckily it was saved, supposedly by his son. But some swanky bar types swooped in and transformed it to the yuppie lounge it is now. Following the style of Bourbon and Branch, they're offering fancy cocktails, and the decor was all cleaned up. The tchocky owls were preserved only in small numbers - mostly in a case to honor the prior owner.

So, it may not be the dingy nest it used to be, but it's probably worth a visit, since it's still an institution.

Sketchy 4th Street

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:50:00 +0000

I'm back from a trip to Austin for a conference and back to staying up on things here... Yesterday I had a meeting in Berkeley and took a break to go to Fourth Street in Berkeley for lunch, a trip to the book store, and of course a treat at my favorite little ice cream store there - Sketch.

They make soft serve ice cream in all sorts of trendy flavors - my favorites being Burnt Caramel and Earl Grey. Yesterday they had Burnt Caramel with the delightfully tangy Plain Yogurt in the same machine so I could get a swirl cone of that topped with the unexpected olive oil and sea salt I've been hearing so much about... I must say, it was a delicious combo.

I will admit that I miss their hard ice cream that they used to make - nothing beat the Earl Grey ice cream sandwich between their homemade lavender shortbread cookies... Now I just have to get a cookie on the side - not quite the same.

They do make ice cream cakes - I bet those are divine! (and pricy - saving that idea for a very special occasion)

So, when you get tired of the same old-same old at the Ferry Building in SF, head across the bridge to 4th Street in Berkeley for a larger scale version with many more foodie treats. They also have a Napa Style store (I have a secret crush on Michael Chiarello), with a sea salt tasting bar, many great lunch spots, from Betty's Diner to a really good asian noodle place we tried this time. And, of course, you never know the bargains you'll find at the Crate and Barrel outlet there too!

And while I'm at it, I'll share my other secret of 4th Street - located just 2 blocks down on 4th is the Takara Sake factory - makers of Sho Chiku Bai sake that you have most definitely encountered in local restaurants. Here you can visit their tasting room and learn all about their whole range of products - we had a very educational visit, and enjoyed trying it all! And Sake is nowhere near as expensive as wine, so coming home with some bottles is a reasonable option, and it doesn't get fresher than straight off the bottling line!

Take to the streets!

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Thu, 22 May 2008 17:59:00 +0000

Sorry for flaking on posting lately. I totally missed out on telling you about National Cocktail Week last week - I hope you had a couple anyway!

But today I'm going to do a two for one since I found 2 interesting things to do this weekend, but of course, they're on the same day!

First, head down to the Mission on Sunday morning to see the Carnival parade. My friend is performing in one of the dance troupes, so I'm excited to see her! (BTW, that's not her in the pic, she said her costume is a little more "covered." I don't blame her!) Here are her suggestions:

1. The parade starts at 24th and Bryant at about 10am (we are #20 out of 80 groups or so and the name of our group is 'Caribe Sabroson' - we are the Mission Cultural Center's contingent)
2. It winds over to Mission (not Bryant!) and down Mission until we hit 17th
3. It then turns right (East) on 17th Street
4. It then turns left (North) on South Van Ness (which is essentially the end for watchers... it does go down to 15th, but that is not a true watching area).

I recommend finding a spot somewhere on Mission, between 24th and 18th (the corner at 17th will be weird and you may not see us well) After you hoot and holla for us, you can head over to hear the Carnaval bands, check out the food booths, vendors, and main stage (more live performances- samba, etc) that are all along Harrison street, essentially parallel to Mission, from 24th to 17th.

And next, once you're all fed and happy with tacos and salsa music, head over to Hayes valley for Capsule - a design festival full of local artisans. I'm a sucker for these things, but they usually have great stuff. I've decided not to buy jewelry from stores anymore - only artisans, and I always get compliments! They'll be set up until 6, so that should give you plenty of shopping time. And then you're right there among all those great restaurants for dinner!

Looking forward to a good day on Sunday!

For Old Time's Sake

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Fri, 09 May 2008 15:55:00 +0000

Here's a fun way to pass the time - find an old picture of yourself and re-create it today. Check out the ones people have done already on Old Me/Young Me, part of the Colorwars blog. I'm sure the family will get a kick out of it - might even make a good mom's day gift. In this case a couple of pictures are worth all the words...

A toast to Mom

noreply@blogger.com (Heather (Landers) Schöll) — Wed, 07 May 2008 18:56:00 +0000

The common theme I've seen in the listings I've gotten this week was taking your mom wine tasting for Mother's Day. So, here you have it. A list of all the drinking wine with mom activities I came across. There's one in different parts of the bay area, so I'm sure the other wineries, tasting rooms, and wine bars in the area would welcome your mom as well. We took my mom wine tasting in Livermore for her b-day last year, and she had a great time, so I think this idea is "mom tested, kid approved."

Battaion Cellars - Blacksmith Square - Downtown Livermore
Mothers Day Weekend Champagne Celebration at Battaion Cellars!
May 10, 2008 (Sat) - May 11, 2008 (Sun)
There will be live music in our fabulous courtyard on Sat May10th to jump start the weekend! We will have EXTRA SPECIAL (Cold Stone is one) treats that pair fabulously with all of our bubblies. Treat that special mom with an afternoon of sun, fun and delicious Battaion champagne!
(note from the blogger: my sis lives in Livermore, and says this place is fun!)

The Jug Shop Wine Bar - San Francisco
May 11, 2008 (Sun)
Were you a difficult child? Then what better way to share the warm fuzzies with Mom than to treat her to a fabulous tasting of one of Central Otago's most beloved wineries? And as our way of giving props to great mothers everywhere, moms taste free when accompanied by offspring of legal drinking age who purchase a ticket!
