Just Some K-Wave Fashion

 

The Asian-Art Museum in San Francisco just started a new exhibit called Hallyu! The Korean Wave. It explores how South Korea has reinvented itself as a 21st century pop culture world leader.  From movies like "Parasite, to TV series like The Squid Games to K-Pop, South Korea is has become a center of pop culture.

Here is some of the K-Wave fashion I saw starting with K-Pop:

And then some more traditional fashion:

And then you have this fashion piece that most of know

The suit that PSY wore in the Gangnam Style

It was really interesting seeing exhibit and learned a lot.

Music Monday: 80's Great Movie Instrumentals.

 Music Monday: Maybe I just love the 80's because that is when I came of age but I really loved the movie theme instrumentals from that era. Here are some of my favorites:

San Francisco Vintage Market

 I was walking by the Civic Center BART station in San Francisco and I saw a vintage market going on:

The San Francisco vintage market was really nice and enjoyed myself there.

The History of the A's in Coliseum Murals

 

A sad day for me as the Oakland A's are playing their last game at the Oakland Coliseum today (Thursday 9-26-24). It is sad because I have been a life long A's fan, hell my kids might not exist if the A's and Coliseum were not around as it was where I met their mother.

As they are allegedly moving to Las Vegas (who knows if that deal will get done) but we know that they will play in Sacramento the next couple of years. 

Inside the Coliseum murals painted that tell the 57-season of the A's in Oakland. It covers most of my life and fandom. They have been there for several years. I have visited them many times:

It is a super sad deal the way things went down and that they are moving.  It should have never happened.

It has become a tradition on this blog that I go to the Flower Piano at the San Francisco Botanical Gardens this time of the year. 

Flower Piano is an event where they put pianos in different places in the Gardens. They have some scheduled performances, but if a piano is empty and their are no scheduled performances then anyone can jump one:

Here are some the random performaces:
