Birthday for Rienstra

No Comments »

Went out Saturday evening for a really low key birthday celebration for Jakie's birthday. Went to a sweet cinema space in Battery Park City to see Silver Linings Playbook then grabbed burgers at Shake Shack. Loved it!

It's a madness. It just comes--none knows whence--and cannot explain itself.

























Workshop at Etsy Labs

No Comments »

I headed back home to BK after work to meet up with Claire. We popped over to DUMBO for a seriously rad workshop in a seriously rad space at Etsy Labs off Washington. The night's craft was blockprinting, designing and carving our own rubber stamps. Then we rolled tacky ink over our stamps and pressed them onto brown butcher paper to make wrapping paper for Christmas! I opted for a Dogtown-style shortboard and wrote "Skate or Die" in jest. The words were too thin to carve (we used tools that allowed users to carve + scoop the rubber out of the grey block rather than etch with great detail), so I ended up detailing the skateboard. !Voila!

Walking home, we spotted a synthetic rainbow streaking the sky...possibly from somewhere in Greenwich Village?
