Welcome to the Gayborhood

It’s now been 11 years of curling 🥌 and I’ll be taking my 5th trip (fingers crossed) to Iceland 🇮🇸 at the end of April’22. My curling family has grown even more over the past four years. I’m so grateful to have these folks in my life. You’ve all made this journey amazing! ❤️🥌❤️🥌 #curling #ihellalovecurling #sfbacc #sanfranciscobayareacurlingclub #bayarea #curlingfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CWbmV4iBcoa/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s been awhile since I last worked from home and missed playing music as I worked. So here’s today’s working from home music: Tears for Fears - “The Hurting” and “Songs from the Big Chair” It’s been quite a while since listening to either of these albums. My favourite of theirs is The Hurting. So many great songs on this album. Looking forward to seeing them live June 2022 for the first time! #tearsforfears #thehurting #songsfromthebigchair #rolandorzabal #curtsmith #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinyljunkie #vinyladdict https://www.instagram.com/p/CWWlOOOPno4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today’s working from home music: #toriamos #underthepink reissued on pink vinyl. This was her second album originally released on January 31, 1994. I got this over a month ago and finally listening to it. I had the privilege of seeing her at the Oakland Paramount Theatre so many years ago. I was completely blown away that night watching her perform up on that stage. So happy I was able to snag this reissue!! #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinyljunkie #vinylrecords https://www.instagram.com/p/CUalFlyvcAS/?utm_medium=tumblr

New shirt from #oaklandish arrived today! Love this picture of the old eastern span of the bay bridge before its demolition. You can see the new eastern span in the back ground. #oaklandbaybridge #oakland #baybridge #easternspanofthebaybridge #oldbaybridgenewbaybridge https://www.instagram.com/p/CUOWHewpP2V/?utm_medium=tumblr

Walking around lake Merritt late this morning, ran into a sound check for CeCe Peniston. I love her! It’s supposed to be pride weekend in Oakland, so I’m wondering if this is part of their online festivities. #lakemerrittoakland #oakland #oaklandpride #cecepeniston (at Lake Merritt) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTtGhB5Bqir/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today’s working from home music: Album - Filigree & Shadow / Artist - This Mortal Coil / I will be forever grateful to @k_cee for introducing me to this amazing album many years ago back in the 90’s. I’ve had it on a cassette tape (which she gifted to me), CD and now finally on vinyl! #usedvinyl #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #music #thismortalcoilfiligreeandshadow https://www.instagram.com/p/CTpwjL6viuf/?utm_medium=tumblr
