I love old things. By old things, I mean, for example, old espresso machines, old barbershops and old letterpress printing techniques. The best way to experience old things is when they are still active and in use. There is a love of these types of things here in San Francisco. I got my haircut the other day at FSC Barber which feels like it’s right out of the 20s, hot face towels and all. Yesterday, on Mission Street, I ran into the poster above. It’s printed by a company in LA called Colby Poster Printing. They print these posters for local nightclubs and musicians. I just got off the phone with them and Glen, one of the printers told me even Snoop Dog is a client. I’m giving a lecture at CCA in April and I’m hoping to get the poster for the lecture printed with them. On another note, I ate at this amazing hole in the wall Burmese restaurant called Yamo’s. Maybe the best vegetable curry I’ve eaten.
