hot days of summer...

As the temperature reaches over 100 degrees F here where the Ochibos are currently residing, their fuzzier, four legged friends are starting to lose their fur. This little ball of fur was found wondering lost outside. The Ochibos, always empathetic, decided to give it some eyes and invite it to stay with them.

Jumping Spider!!!

Ochibos LOVE jumping spiders. Especially when they scare grown men!

Ochibo eats!

Mmmm.... crepes!

Ochibo got to go to one of their favorite creperies in San Francisco a little while ago, Squat and Gobble! This little Ochibo had a great time devouring a crepe all by itself! Hungry little pup....

Indie Mart in San Francisco=fun and successful

The Ochibos enjoyed a nice infiltration of San Francisco and are eagerly awaiting their next chance to pervade the city....

So! the Mission Indie Mart (which, oddly enough was in Potrero Hill)was a lot of fun. Here is a picture on the keeper of Ochibos before the crowds hit. Look out for the random hand under the table! Gaaaahhh!!

Next up: Renegade Craft Fair!!

The world famous Renegade Craft Fair is coming to San Francisco!
Everybody goooooo!!!!

New pattern at Ochibo!

Introducing a new pattern over at Ochibo! What else, but a squid? I know, why do we need another squid pattern? Well, my squidlet is anatomically correct. Yep. that is right, mating/feeding tentacles and all. Cover the kid's eyes....

Bat For Lashes!!!!

Ochibo went to a Bat for Lashes show last weekend at the Great American Music Hall in S.F. We must report that Natasha's voice is amazing and crisp and beautiful not just in the studio, but live as well! :D IF you get the chance, she comes highly recommended!

Esao ROCKS!

Esao Andrews, one of the Ochibo's favorite artists, allowed an Ochibo to pose with his incredibly cute Boston Terrier for a picture! Go check out his site and see his absolutely Fantastic art and an Ochibo precariously balanced on the short snout of a very patient dog!

Ochibos at the Meteor Crater!

About 50,000 years ago, mammoths and (my favorite) giant ground sloths were wondering around peacefully through the woodlands in the middle of what is now known as Arizona when, from the very sky itself came a nickel-iron asteroid, 50 meters (162 feet) around came crashing through the trees and blew a 4,000 ft diameter hole in the ground. Poor sloths, I imagine they never even knew they were hit.
Oddly enough, the crater is privately owned and not even named a national monument.
PS. Nasa has a great site called "Astronomy Picture of the Day" that has amazing photos. Even one of the http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap971117.html!
