Party friday night 24/3-06

Friday night Espen's girlfriend steffani took us to a party an hour north of SF.
She's from here and it was her friend valerie's birthday party. We wnet to a super cool club and I drove back at 5 in the morning.

Emil from team 10 has join us here and is now officially a part of team 11. He went with me and Espen.

Dave is valerie's brother. He will be attending CSUN in 2007. So I told him everything to know about the place.

School week 20-24/3-06

Monday Karin and Uffe came from Denmark. Nice to see them again. We had a lecture with Christian Strike. It was very cool. He is in charge of the art project beautiful loosers. He use to run a big skate board magasin and by creating beautiful loosers he found away of expressing art seen from that underground culture's perspective.

Tuesday we had another workshop with Kao on innovation and we are currently working with him on his innovation toolbox.

Wednesday we worked on the project for the whole day. We have decided on creating a workshop with dinner and dialogue around nourishment for life and sustainability in the society and in businesses and organizations. It will be an experimental workshop where the participants don't know each other and we will challenge them. they will end up documenting them self and their outcome.
We worked at the cross roads cafe. It is a place where they only hire people who has been to jail in the past and who are currently trying to get on the right track again.

In the evening Jo, Henrik, Emil and I went to a local commedy club. It was so BAD. It wasn't funny at all. So don't ever go to mason lounge on mason 50. They acted like they didn't give a shit about anything in a depressive way and at the same time they complained that we weren't laughing... My dead dog tells better jokes...

Thursday we went to meet Habibullah Faizi. that was the guy I met on the airplane from France to Frisco. He showed us around his work.

Faizi works at PCC. They make parts for airplane engines. He is responsible for the finished product. He is doing a really great job. So far non of his engineparts have been in an airplane crash..
He showed us how they start out by making the part the need in wax. After that they put sand on top of that till it is hard. Than they melt out the wax and than it isw ready. Than you put metal in it instead and take of the sand. Now they check part with UV lights and they take Xrays of the part and if it has any flaws they can se it and fix it. In the end it has to be flawless.
The process for producing a new part is 1 year and when the motor is ready the airplane company will test it for 10.000 hours/8 hours a day for 5 years. Talking about a company who will have to be visionary.

Friday we continued working on the project.

Meeting Jay 09/03-06

Group meeting and graffiti 08/03-06

We had a group meeting today with Bjarne to figure out where the project is going...And frankly we have no clue... We know what kind of process we would like and the potential outcome but we have no idea on what to work with...

On the way home we past an area with lots of interesting graffiti. Here is some of it

Pier 39, 05/03-06

I went to Pier 39 today on fisherman's warf.
Nice place. I have been there before but that was in the turist season. This time it was less crowded and very easy to get around.

Off course I went to the Hard Rock Café even though I have been there before. I bought a glass for my collection which i didn't have. It doesn't really count because I already have other glasses from the place but it was a nice one anyway.

On Pier 45 there is an old museum for old-school automatic machines. I tried the basket ball game.. off course...

Needless to say but once a bears fan always a bears fan so I bought my own homemade cap. Go Bears...
I love the result!

Now you seen our secret hidding place... or actually it was just a wannabe trying to be somebody...

Wish & the holy cow b04/03-06

Today I went to the shopping mall on Market street. I bought two pair of shorts since those I have with me are too small and I could get a 20 dollars discount when I bought two. Here I ran to a local guy called Brad. We started talking while standing in line and ended up deciding to go out the same night at two clubs called Wish and holly cow.

It was a birthday party and i got to meet the birthday girl sara and the rest of Brad's friends including his girlfriend Alexis. I had a really awsome time. It was so nice going out with locals for once... ;o)

Wish is a bar where hollycow has a nice dance floor as well. Brad picked me up in his car and drove me back as well..nice.
Here is Brad, Alexis and laurence.
