Last Saturday, I attended the San Francisco Street Food Festival for the first time. One of the most anticipated booths was Rice Paper Scissors.

Two crowded lines formed down the block to taste their tender mushroom pho rolls, grilled baby octopus, and Vietnamese iced coffee. We're getting hungry just thinking about it.

It was exciting to see Valerie & Katie in their natural element. They're totally cool in the middle of chaos: Valerie passing out orders and keeping an eye on everyone, Katie grilling octopus and keeping order behind the scenes. Their staff was totally pro, and the team worked together effortlessly. Valerie & Katie almost make it look easy.

This Friday at Makeshift Society, come hear Valerie & Katie tell stories about how they've hustled to grow their pop-up into a legitimate business: http://bit.ly/ricepaperscissors

Today I had a lovely meeting with @whisksf in this little hideaway. Always nice to find new spots in the city.

“As I continue to get better at my craft, it’s important for me to remember why I loved it in the first place. So many of us set this aside and simply do what others suggest, never finding our own voice, and forgetting why we set out on this journey in the first place.”

Here is the secret news: All people are afraid. No one knows what they’re doing. Everything is getting worse. Your money is worthless. No one is properly dressed. The system is rigged. Your house will never be completely clean. All teachers are incompetent. There are people who really dislike you. Nothing is as good as it seems. Things don’t last. No one is paying attention. Shhhhh.

You don’t have to get a job that makes others feel comfortable about what they perceive as your success. You don’t have to explain what you plan to do with your life. You don’t have to justify your education by demonstrating its financial rewards. You don’t have to maintain an impeccable credit score. Anyone who expects you to do any of those things has no sense of history or economics or science or the arts. You have to pay your electric bill. You have to be kind. You have to give it all you got. You have to find people who love you truly and love them back with the same truth. But that’s all.

The two IDEO-trained founders of Curiosity Atlas are looking for a Brand Communications Fellow this summer. Please forward to any undergrads or new graduates you know. More details on their site: http://curiosityatlas.com/summer-fellowships

Curiosity Atlas Fellowships

With summer just around the corner, we are thrilled to announce our inaugural Curiosity Atlas Fellowship Program. We are looking for one talented, curious Fellow to each take on a distinct project over the summer within a creative and collaborative team. These projects together will lay the foundation for Curiosity Atlas to grow and thrive over the coming year.

1. Brand Communications Maven

This is a part-time (10-15hrs/wk) opportunity for June through August 2013 - great for undergraduate seniors, grad students, or recent grads. While this is an unpaid fellowship, the rewards are infinite! They include cool portfolio work, mentorship & guidance, an expanded network of creative & entrepreneurial people in SF and taking part in quirky, fun SF experiences!

We’ll brainstorm and plot together once a week; other project activities happen independently and on your schedule.

Do yourself a favor. Read this post, then re-read it, then share it with people you love.

Stories—my grandmother’s, mine, yours—aren’t linear. They come in different shapes and sizes, and they don’t usually move in straight lines. Sometimes life is orderly, but most of the time, it shoots out in a lot of different directions at once and you have to just go with it. Stories don’t always fit on a page or in a room or whatever else kind of box we want to put them in. Some begin and end in the same sentence, and others unfold over dinner parties, weeks, or lifetimes.
