So excited to bring back another exciting edition of The Dailies! I've been slacking on getting these together; my apologies, but we're back with a bang and Angie from Poketo! What a lovely, busy day she has, bursting with creativity--- see below! [Thank you SO SO much, Angie dear!]
--
7:30 am: wake up. sleep some more
8:00 am : get out of bed. take shower.
8:30 am: make coffee. Don Francisco is our new favorite coffee. Today's breakfast is cottage cheese and strawberries. Ted liked the combination but I didn't. I wanted yogurt and strawberries instead.
9:35 am: get a few things from the garage to send out to online shoppers and drive to work. we live in Echo Park in Los Angeles and our studio is in downtown LA, which is only about 5-10 minute drive.
9:45 am: get to work. check email and flickr, our favorite thing ever. we're both totally addicted to it. Ted's been slowly posting pictures from our trip to Glasgow. It was a totally magical time. We were part of the Glasgow International Arts Festival, Scotland's equivalent to the Whitney Biennial. We worked with a Glasgow-based gallery, Hitherto, to put together a Glasgow Artist Series Wallets. At the opening night, Stevie Jackson of Belle and Sebastian along with Norman Blake from Teenage Fanclub and 1990s played! We shot some videos and put them up on flickr and Youtube.
10:00 - 12:30: lots of little things. taking pics of the zines that we brought from Glasgow and Edinborough and putting them up online. there are so many amazing talents. Edited some texts and put up more pictures for the Travel Journal. we used it on our travel in Scotland!
12:30: lunch break. went shopping yesterday and bought food for work. i usually make lunch for our assistant and interns. we have a wonderful assistant, emmanuelle, who quit her much coveted yet "soul crushing" job at a top talent agency in Hollywood to come back and work for us. She was our first ever intern. she actually is the one that convinced us that we might need help. before her, having someone to work with us never even occured to us. i remember talking to a writer at NYTimes and saying "yes, we do everything... everything from start to finish, ideation, creation, packing orders for stores and individual shoppers, going to the post office, everything." and i murmured to myself. "we should really find an intern." he actually printed that line in the article!
Today, I made oven toasted open sandwiches with roasted bell peppers, sardines, sun dried tomatoes, fresh mozarella cheese topped with a little olive oil. It was yummy. We love food! If you look at our flickr, you'll see at least 50% of our photos are of food.
1:30 go back to work. take some more pictures of the zines. trying to figure out how to use facebook while ted is working on a short video of our trip. Talk to artists giving feedback, directions. Emailed with collaborators.
2:30 have a short meeting about the upcoming Poketo Warehouse $5-10 SALE on 5/10 at 510 S Hewitt #506 Los Angeles 90013 from 10am -5 pm(we thought about doing 5am -10 am but didn't think many people would show up and 5pm-10pm would be conflicting with too many people's saturday night schedules). so dorky i know but don't you find it so catchy and fun? [editor's note: YES!] we were very excited about all the 5s and 10s. haha.
this is our first warehouse sale ever. we'll be selling wallets, tees, plates, stationery and even some one-offs and archived items. And for those of you who missed the First Editions Prints Show, here's your second chance to check it out! we still have all the prints hanging on our wall. come over for some good tunes, cupcakes, and discounted goodies! [editor's note: I will SO be there.]
3:00 pm - 5 pm: do some more little things... emails, some more short bursts of brainstorming. looked at artists designs, feedback, art directions, and etc.
5:00: ted's working on a video promo. i take a little flickr break. i'm really addicted to it!
5:30: going back to work.
7:30: Tonight is a late night. Finished uploading all the zines and nervous system's jewelry. Ted finished making the video promo and is on our youtube.
8:00: went up to the rooftop for a little breather before going home. it's a warm night tonight. We never get tired of the LA's night skyline.
8:30: by the time we got home my mom was almost done making dinner for us. she comes over at least 1 or 2x a week. it's so nice to have mom's food. she's a phenomenal cook. tonight she made little pancakes with fish and squash along with some soybean paste soup with tofu and onion. yummm...
9:15 we don't have cable so most of our channels are always fuzzy, some slightly more(NBC) some very fuzzy(CBS), and some semi-clear(KCET, ABC). we just use rabbit ear antenna. We were flipping through the channels and found a show called "Secrets of Magic" that showed how all the magic tricks are done. now we know how a magician pulls a rabbit out of a hat, how a woman gets locked up in a box and comes out unscathed after all the knives go through her and etc. it was pretty fun despite how cheesy it was. =)
10:00 we tried hooking up the tv to the computer and tried streaming 30 Rock, our new favorite show, just discovered last week. We're pretty late on catching up with TV shows. We only discovered LOST about a year ago when all the hoopla had already died down.
10:30 my mom wanted to look at all the pictures from Scotland. We took over 1000 pictures so it took a little while.
11:30 Pretty beat. getting ready to go to bed now.
