Brief introduction of the office

Today i'm gonna introduce you my work place : the suite 200, 1360 Mission Street. A set of little offices, box style, only used by non-profit organizations. Associations of dancers, tailors, architects, most of them are artists and thus don't have a fixed schedule.
The walls between each box don't reach the ceiling, leading to a big lack of privacy : we ear everything, from the phone call in the box on the right to the coughing guy's death throes on the left.
You can see underneath a bad photomontage, which is certainly very ugly, but shows you our workspace.
I'm using myself the brand new Ikea desk in the center of the picture. The box is about 15 feet long by 10 feet wide, and contains from 1 (me) to 3 people (me + Mathias + Rachael). Rachael is Mathias' executive assistant, she's doing a half time job and what i understood is that she's in charge of relieving Mathias of some administrative work.
Besides, we potentially have another guy who'll come in the few next days, Yaniv, a new volunteer from Stanford university. We then would be four people in the office, what should be very funny.
Well now that i've talked about work, i can show you some pictures of what i did yesterday afternoon. That was in Golden Gate Park, and what was supposed to be a concert was rather an artistic gathering. At the beginning there was like ten drummers, then about fifty musicians came during all the afternoon. In a complete freedom, each one was able to join with his instrument. There was, following my personal valuation, more than 100,000 people gathered for the event. Thus i've been able to discover a new face of San Francisco which you don't meet downtown.









Otherwise, here are some pictures from the Toga Party i told you about. I know we look ridiculous, but at least EVERYBODY looked ridiculous :)
