New Boots

After 10 years with my beloved Raichle hiking boots that have been with me to Alaska, Italy and Thailand, they fell a part and no cobbler could fix them. So after a very expensive trip to REI, I bought this pair of Vasque Wasatchs. They fit like a glove in the store and the sales [...]

Treasure Island Music Festival (Saturday!)

We decided to drive to the Island instead of taking the bus, which turned out to work perfectly. Made it to the Treasure Island Music Festival around 2, just in time for Passion Pit. Danced our asses off in the boiling sun! The best Passion Pit show I’ve seen so far, they actually moved around [...]
