What We're Talking About This Week: James Bond Edition

Who doesn't want to steal the timeless chic of a Bond film's set?  This Get the Look post offers up decor inspiration from some of the most memorable moments in the series.

Everyone knows that James Bond takes his martinis 'shaken, not stirred' but the classic drink is just one of many cocktails featured in Ian Fleming's books. 

This is an interesting article about the evolution of Bond films, comparing it to the ever popular Batman franchise.

Spectre is the last Bond film that director Sam Mendes plans to make.  He also directed Skyfall, the best so far starring Daniel Craig. We hope that Craig will stick around for one more.

Any excuse is a good one to share this Comic Relief skit starring Craig and Catherine Tate.

What We're Talking About This Week

Whenever the weather is nice in the North Bay, we love to get out of San Francisco and spend time on the coast. Tomales Bay Oyster Company has been one of our go-to spots for picnicking and oysters, but it is being shut down. We're thinking a goodbye trip may be in order this weekend...

Shepard Fairey is one of the most interesting graphic designers working today. His instagram is one of our favorites, so we are looking forward to the release of his new book, Covert to Overt. This Tuesday Moby will be interviewing Shepard at the Herb Alpert Educational Village in Santa Monica, which promises to be an amazing conversation.

One of our LA favorites is coming to the Bay Area!  Lemonade is always a go-to lunch spot on a busy day, and we love that they'll be adding locations in San Francisco, Walnut Creek, and Palo Alto next year.

As you know, we are huge James Bond fans. Daniel Craig is near the top of the list for favorite actors who've tackled the role, so we were thrilled to hear that Spectre won't be his last Bond film.

If you're in San Francisco this weekend, love live music, and are looking for something inexpensive to do, head to Golden Gate Park for the FREE three day bluegrass festival Hardly Strictly Bluegrass.
