The weekend was wonderfully whimsical for us here at All Shook Down. On Saturday, reporter Ashley Harrell met a crowd of 50 outside Dalva's in the Mission and followed them on their pants-less trek through the streets, BART and MUNI. Much gawking ensued. Read Ashley's dispatch and see her fun photos here.

The end of 2008 was filled with exciting shows, closing an otherwise great year for art. I was pretty sure the shows would take a bit to get back in gear, but this weekend showed me otherwise. Of course I can't just skip on over to all the receptions taking place in Los Angeles or New York, but with galleries like White Walls and Shooting Gallery so close to me I can see great art right here. I usually take that two hour bus ride, but this time I rented a car and drove myself and the girlfriend over the bridge to enjoy the day. I loved the fact that the city wasn't as cold as what we've been dealing with the past few weeks.
So after something nice to eat, and checking out a few shops, we headed over to the galleries. I like to get there a little early so that I can take photos of the work without having to ask people to move aside, or wait for them to move. The crowd didn't really pick up until around 8pm. So I have plenty of time to look at all the work, and get multiple shots of each piece. I really can't stress how great the lighting is in these galleries; I can think of a handful of galleries that could use a setup like this.
