Don’t miss tonight’s opening for Samplings from Creativity Explored, the third installment of OgilvyWest Gallery Series.
Come early for Lagunitas Hairy Eyeball, Leffe, and more. Come late for PBR. Seriously. 7×7 picked up the opening so come early.
See more pics from the show … See the rest »
Really cool theme for an art show: Buy thrift store art, then make it your own.
Over a dozen artists will be displaying their (upcycled?) creations. Pieces will be available for purchase. But the show’s one night only, so be there early! Details below.
I snuck pics of a couple pieces this afternoon. Gonna be rad.

Melissa Abercrombie’s “The Way To A Man’s Heart … “

And a deceptive little piece from Elaine Elwick Barr of Rock n Roll Crafts.
(Hidden in the trunk is a little surprise)
Come on out!

Friday was the last Skullz Press opening at the short-lived Divisadero space. Not sure where it’ll pop up next. First, Mike Giant is off to Italy.

TAPS in Petaluma opened this weekend and we stopped in to check things out. Technically in “soft opening” phase, the place is looking terrific. Between TAPS, the Lagunitas TapRoom & Beer Sanctuary, and Dempsey’s Brewpub, Petaluma’s become quite the destination for beer geeks. I couldn’t be happier.
This new destination is a group effort from Eric Lafanchi (pictured), his brother, and Eric’s wife Wendy (not only co-owner, but also the driven, determined, secret-ingredient to Taps’ existence). Together they’ve culled a tasty tap and bottle selection for both Geeks and regular Peeps alike, thanks to some expert input by Mario the Brewsario behind Brewed For Thought. And since they happily offer samples of anything tapped it’s a great place to experiment or just knock back a few. Wash it all down with fries and $4 sausages & dogs, and you’re all good.
First up was this amazingly creamy ‘n biscuity Tripel Karmeliet from Bosteels, in respective glass and coaster no less. Most of their beers are served in corresponding glassware. All others get the curvy, English-style pints, thankfully not the flat shaker pints (which really just bore me). Details, folks.
On top of about 30 taps and over a dozen bottles, they’ve got six flatscreens. Count ‘em, six. All will be fired up for the big game(s).
The guys have been unearthing artifacts hidden in the basement of 1923 landmark Hotel Petaluma. Shown here, a vintage flyer for the Steamer Gold paddle wheel. You could ferry from the wharf at Washington & Jackson in SF all the way up to Lakeville landing in Petaluma for 50 cents. My bus ride costs $8.50. Each way.
Get a load of that Umlaut! That’s a bomber of Valley Brewing Überhoppy next to Lagunitas Hop Stoopid.
TAPS is located around the side of Hotel Petaluma. Go say hi to the Lafranchi Brothers and find your new favorite beer from Lagunitas, Bear Republic, Dogfish Head, Anderson Valley, Stone, Mad River, Marin Brewing Co, Moylan’s, North Coast, Moonlight, Firestone, Anchor, New Belgium, Avery, Koningshoeven, Abita, Moortgat, Ommegang, and more.

Was lucky to catch the Saturday-nite opening of “Artful Distractions” at Boomerang Gallery in Petaluma. Drippy, kinetic, and very promising stuff. Come check it out.
Jonny with the singer/subject of his portrait, Bill. Guess who’s who.
The Jonny Hirschmugl work is further proof of the kick-ass job Drew Washer (of Heebee Jeebee fame) has been doing—giving exposure to young, fresh talent in Petaluma. Keep it up, Drew!

This Saturday @ 7 pm, The Mills College Art Museum will open its ’09 Exhibition Young Americans, featuring works by their 2009 Master of Fine Arts degree recipients.
Brian Caraway, Friend of the Umlaut and one of the eight lucky artists, gave us a peek inside his studio during the final weeks of prep. Days before shaving his time-lapse beard.
