eames chair museum

uncle david

kat's brother came to see us this past week.

she got her new guitar.  it does sound better and she does appreciate the lighter weight.

blanton art museum

we attended the blanton art museum's members appreciation party.  open bar, great food and we got to see their "birth of the cool" exhibit.  it featured california design and lifestyle of the 50's.  large images from case study homes, many items from charles and ray eames and also a lot of jazz related items including some great black and white photography.

you can see we are still having fun with our in camera stitch mode.  however, you can see it reached it's limits with the crowd of people all milling about. 

 

photography was not permitted in the exhibit areas, so I recreated some of it below to give you an idea what the exhibit is all about...

amh eames chair collection

yes, it was amusing to go through the exhibit and say "hey, that is just like our chair",  (disclaimer-our LCW on the right is not an authentic herman miller produced item but a "reproduction)

had some fun outside the blanton.  they had provided hula-hoops for us, but we preferred this interactive rubber spaghetti

he loves to play with the drums, the guitars and the new piano.

our first home grown salad from kat's garden!  

enjoyed the FRESH salad at friends house for sushi and sake evening.

sushi

the sushi turned out great!

spicy tuna rolls

I made some spicy tuna roll and seared ahi tuna.

had a great latin jazz brunch at Azul Tequila.  the sopes were great, as was the pozole.  it was great to get some live music in as we filled our bellies.  live music was provided by The Bonobos (Felix Perez and company)
