LEFAVOR CHECKS IN FROM S.F. (PART 1)
08.06.07
After crushing his “For a Limited Time Only” show, our boy, art super hero, Scot Lefavor, headed out to S.F. for a much needed reprieve. Scot’s cookin’ some shit up out there, makin’ some art, and just kickin’ with his homey, Eric. Scot sent us an upate today full of freshy, fresh pics and some Lefavor insight. We’re gonna share it, cuz Scot’s cool like that. Here goes…
“Attached is round 1 of my photo journal of my trip to SF. Damn, I’ve been having a dope ass time. I got off the plane at around 11:30PM on Monday night and my good old pal Eric swooped me up and we got to his swank apartment just before 12. I got to see a sneak peek of his beautiful 6mo old baby girl Mica sleeping, his wife and another one of my dear friends; Sarah and of course their doggy Blue. We exchanged gifts (apple juice and mechanical pencils… word!) and we were off to the bar for a few drinks. So, on my way there (they live just a few blocks from Upper Playground) I was immediately bombarded by visual goodness, nearly making my head explode. Literally, the first corner I turned I saw this tasty Doze Green mural and was totally floored. Their backyard is a hidden gem in the city; an array of different plants and flowers and a ridiculous collection of vintage hand painted signage, street signs, and flourescent signs that glow all night long…a sign garden if you will. Later that night we took a little arty tour to find pieces from Swoon, Miss Van, Zeph & Revolt, Sam Flores, David Choe among others new to me. Damn. I could hardly sleep, totally pumped on the following day’s adventures. Aside from just walking around this exceptionally art embracing city and endulging in yummy meals all day, I’ve been on a number of radical field trips since I’ve arrived. On Tuesday, we checked out the Manga show at the Asian Art Museum. The exhibit was real fresh but the real showstopper in the museum was the Yoshitoshi woodblock prints… unfucking believable! Sorry no photos, you’ll have to do the recon on that one. Yesterday evening Eric and I attended the Red Sox and A’s game out in Oakland. Aside from having an outrageuos time (I got pretty drunk!), the train there was a showcase of real Oakland/SF writers going HUGE up on the side of the tracks. Today we headed out over the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County to check out Muir Woods as well as Muir Beach. It had been years since I had seen the ocean and it was an unbelievable scene that was long overdue. We hiked around, ate sandwiches and played in the sand just before the tide. The water was deceivingly inviting… running in only to be running right back out. We picked up some fresh cherries on the way out and I’m eating them as I am writing this. And yup, they are pretty damn tasty! Cheers from another warm San Francisco night (well, not really, but it’s perfect).” - Scot
