With Thread's San Francisco show falling the weekend before Thanksgiving, Sezio was provided the perfect excuse for a road trip to The City to reunite with our Nor Cal bretheren. Wes and Zack packed the grocery-go-getter to the brim with fresh screens and AA blanks, hoodies and scarves while the girls (Carly & Greer) sipped cocktails at 30,000 feet. Typical.
After meeting up with Dustin, Kyle, Taggart, Heine and Gretchen, the following 48 hours were packed with late night dance parties, fort-building, art-making, pizza orgasmica and a lot of hungover screen printing.

When we visited Kelsey Brookes' South Park studio back in April, he was just embarking on a series of large paintings destined for the pristine white walls of Quint Contemporary Art in La Jolla. This afternoon we got to preview his almost finished pieces for the opening of 'Bigger, Brighter, Bolder' this Friday. I'm convinced that Kelsey can only achieve this level of hyper detail because he himself is very laid back and nonchalant. The twelve pieces in this show are absolutely mind blowing, and something that everyone in San Diego should see.
Kelsey Brookes : Bigger, Brighter, Bolder opens at Quint Contemporary Art Friday, November 20th from 6-8pm and will include musical performances by The Dabbers and Lion Cut.

San Diego based photographers Sarah Yates and Lou Mora share quite a few things in life; a dog with a hyphenated last name, an obsession with the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs and recently a new blog. Birds of a Feather highlights the massive skills possessed by both Sarah and Lou and also serves as a release from their professions as photographers.

They say you don't know what you have until it's gone, and San Diego learned the hard way when The Museum of Contemporary Art took a summer vacation from their Thursday Night Thing. It's become a staple over the last few years and thankfully, this Thursday marks its return with a stacked cast to celebrate. The long-awaited exhibition of Tara Donovan is opening, featuring beautiful installations made with common objects (the above image is made with styrofoam cups and hot glue) and Dave Adey will be showing and directing an art activity. There will also be performances by musicians Money Mark and Birds & Batteries, and by balloon artist Addi Somekh. Come celebrate all of the hard work that MCA has done to provide good art, music, and community gathering in our city.
Thursday November 5th, 7-10 PM at MCA Downtown. Pre-sale tickets and more information at the MCASD Website.

Local artists Mike Maxwell, Brent Sandor, Caia Koopman and our very own Carly Ealey were asked by Keep A Breast to paint a body cast over the weekend. These specific casts were molded using the hot bods of the E! Channel hosts of That Morning Show. The casts along with Keep A Breast founder Shaney Jo will make an appearance on the show Thursday morning between 6-9am.
Each cast will be auctioned to raise money for KAB in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Hurray for Boobies!
***Update***
The auction is now LIVE on eBay! Bid here
