This past week I am excited to say I had my first guest, and guess who it was, one of my best friends, Natalie! She flew up from Orange County for a few days and hung out with me in the new digs. It worked out well that she could bring her photography work with her and do it while I was working. We had fun exploring the Mission a bit, eating lots of Mexican food, going on an adventure with her Holga (excited to see how the pictures turn out), and last but not least, heading to the California Academy of Sciences for Nightlife at the Museum.

When the museum recently opened I read a lot about it in the California Alumni magazine and was fascinated by the “Living Roof” and how eco-friendly/green the entire building is. Every Thursday night they open up from 6:00-10:00 for a 21+ crowd. You can visit the exhibits (including the aquarium, rainforest, roof, and planetarium), grab a cocktail if you so please, groove to the DJ’s tunes, and just enjoy one of the unique things Golden Gate Park has to offer!

Thanks for visiting, Nat, wish you could have stayed longer! So who will my next guest be?
