Notes from the Point, April 2012: Insider's Edition

My friends and I rented a booth at Alameda Point again last weekend and it was great (that's my section above). I didn't take as many pictures as usual, but I got a few while wandering around on breaks, so here they are.

Weekend!/ Notes From the Point: February, 2012

This weekend was a great end to another busy week. Friday night I went to see Maira Kalman and Daniel Handler speak at City Arts & Lectures, and they were as charming as always. They signed my copy of Why We Broke Up with a delightfully snarky message about my recent breakup, but I was sad to have lost out in the competition to win a piece of Maira's collection of onion rings (awarded to the most romantic attendees, based on a quiz).

Saturday I co-hosted a crab dinner with two other friends, and Sunday was the Alameda Point antiques fair, where I scored on a nightstand, an amazing German educational chart (pictures forthcoming), and a couple of other miscellaneous items. Here's what I didn't buy.


don't these guys look dapper?

Notes from the Point, August 2011: Insider's Edition

This weekend my friend Jessica and I rented a booth at Alameda Point to sell some of the things we'd been accumulating in our homes. Seeing as we both have excellent taste, we sold almost everything, and we had a lot of fun so I think we will definitely do it again in a few months. I spent most of the day (from 5am to 3pm) in the booth (the photos of it above were taken just as the sun was rising, so they're not great), but I did walk around a bit and here is what I saw in other booths.
