Brother = Officially Hitched

This weekend, my brother got married. It was very fancy and was held at the old Federal Reserve Building in downtown SF.


The food was the best wedding food I've had. In fact, it was some of the best food I've had!


We danced.

And got people to do shakeface, including the bride, groom, and photographer (Jeff Newsom, who's work is amazing). Tom and Kim need practice. Jeff, on the other hand is a bit of an expert and gave us a shakeface tip: blow out when you shake - thanks Jeff!



The next day was Tim's birthday. We hung out in SF and ate Indian food.


It was a great weekend.

I gots me a haircut.



So, I went to a new salon called Magic Salon. I liked it. I think I found my new haircut place. This is the place to go in Sacramento if you want a 12" mohawk and a dyed star in the side of your head (as the 14 year old that was there was getting when I walked in. Maybe next time.) My cut was only $35.00.


Magic is the 3rd place I have gone since moving back to Cali. I've given each place 2 chances, which I think is fair. The first place gave a good cut, but too pricey and not very edgy. (I think I have this mental block that I just can't pay the same price for a haircut in Sacramento, CA as I did in Chicago, IL.) The second was a decent cut from the "edgiest" place in Davis, which, in all honesty, isn't saying much. However, she didn't thin my hair out at all. I gots me some thick hair so it looked really boring. My last cut from her was about 3 weeks ago and decided it just would not do for my brother's wedding this weekend.

But wait! I think the 3rd time is a charm. That being said, I did come away feeling like I may have looked a little ridiculous. I had this poofy thing on the top of my head that kinda made me feel like a cartoon character. Tim described it as a nest, which is extremely accurate. I think I'm coming around to it and if I don't poof it up too much up there, I think it looks pretty good. Take my quiz to decide for yourself.

(Hmmm...poofy thing)
