Have you recently taken a day to chill out from the rest of the week’s reality? Well if not, I’d highly recommend. Sometimes we forget to do so, especially in the fast pace environment that comes along with living in a city. I know I’m guilty of this. A couple weeks ago my girlfriend and I spent a Sunday in Golden Gate Park. We used to live on 48th and Lincoln Blvd in the Sunset district, three houses down from GG Park and one block away from Ocean Beach. Since we live in Cow Hollow now we spend a lot less time in that good ole golden park, unfortunately. Both my GF and I like to immerse ourselves as much as we can in the art community. Harlan is studying in a graphic design program so she nerds out with design more often than not. Bussed our way to the outer sunset to check out SF’s Zine Fest. Zine Fest? What’s that? Zine Fest is not a magaZINE festival, as one might think. It’s an exhibition for artists to come together to celebrate and connect with the public as well as local designers, visual artists, writers, and comic creators. This fest was overloaded with coolness. Everyone was so hip and oozing with creativity. I must admit, I was a little overwhelmed but also so inspired. Worth seeing- Check them out Here!

Afterwards we ended up at the Conservatory of Flowers, as much as this Sunset girl loves her fog, I do enjoy sunny days sometimes. This day was close to perfect, a little on the hot side but thats because if it hits 72 degrees for a native, it’s too hot out. It was like 85 that day, Ha! Found myself laying in a shaded part of the grass and totally living peacefully in the moment. There was a man playing some jazz tunes on his saxophone which made the experience that much more enjoyable. I thought to myself, wow, I should take a chill pill and lay in the grass more often.
