Neal on his birthday

Neal Morgan photographed after his show in SF at Joe's place, Blue Six. He just happened to be wearing his favorite sweater (I had a feeling he never took it off) and I nabbed this photo using the light from a taco place next door. He says he won the sweater from Cassie after he pointed out that it says For Men on the label...

Zipper climate control


Sylvia! A physicist formerly working at Makani and now about to travel the world and possibly settle in Vancouver. What is it about people moving that finally brings you together? We've had several awesome farmer's market suppers since she stopped working downstairs...

Sylvia's had this sweater since December 06, when she and her friend Carolyn were shopping in NYC. The sweater is a favorite in part because it works well climate control-wise, having a zipper up to the neck. Especially awesome are the zippered pockets.

Geoff

Geoff works at Makani and is a new papa, as well as being both the former California State Citrus Squeezer Champion and a National Ultimate Frisbee Champion. What I love about this picture is that you can see he literally loves his clothes To Death... super enviro friendly, eh?
I've long since forgotten where and when I got that sweater, though I suspect it was a Christmas gift when my mother was able to find cheap cashmere at Costco. Which sort of explains why I like the sweater - uber comfortable and cosy while still being cheap enough that I can wear it out without worrying about it. That and I like the fact that it's appropriate over a wide range of activity - going out at night to the bars and cold, foggy mornings before ultimate tournaments.

I don't wash it often. I have too many sweaters that I've shrunk and had to give away. Every so often I trepidatiously give in and throw it in the laundry.
