This is Oakland // Book Release

Tour some of Oakland's best restaurants and retail nestled in 5 distinctive neighborhoods. A nice little sliver of our big, beautiful and complex city.

Flipping through the dense and rich photography of the pages, I was astonished at how many places I had never been to or heard about.  It reads like the best kind of to-do list.   And!  Old Oakland has a beautiful little spread featuring all my pals in the neighborhood, and yours truly!

The book sold out in the shop on it's first day and I am getting more in today.  Come in to the store or get it online.

Also, save the date for a super fun launch party taking place next weekend in Old Oakland to celebrate the launch of the book.

First Friday // Recap

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the exhibition of works by Veronica Rojas for First Friday. We were lucky enough to have many visitors from Creative Growth, all of whom seemed like a art family.  We also had our very first sound performance with Veronica's dear friend, Halo Between, which got everyone to dance, think, laugh, and engage.  

You can see Veronica's surrealist work for the month of August, Wednesday- Saturday (closed August 9th-20th for summer vacation).    You can also read a beautiful interview with her about her process with Crown Nine columnist and photographer Britt Goh here >>>.
