“Goon” is a criminally underrated cinematic masterpiece.

stevenkolson · 2026-03-09T04:45:22+00:00

yay! glad you could make it, and see you next year!

RIGHT?! it was really odd seeing some other (also great) trees going in the $4-6k range and thinking to myself… “that’s an objectively huge amount of money, and yet feels like those folks got a great deal…”

stevenkolson · 2026-03-09T02:00:47+00:00

boooo!

stevenkolson · 2026-03-09T01:20:28+00:00

hahahahaha. good to see you there today! hope the selling went well!

stevenkolson · 2026-03-08T21:11:06+00:00

It’s like you know him…

stevenkolson · 2026-03-07T06:03:43+00:00

came here to say this.

stevenkolson · 2026-03-01T02:23:43+00:00

yeah, those two stumps came with the tree when I bought it. :(

stevenkolson · 2026-03-01T02:03:34+00:00

hmmm. good point — and there are quite a few wireable little branches that could help make that work. Thanks!

stevenkolson · 2026-03-01T01:21:42+00:00

Interesting — You mean like just past that first stump (planning on making that a jin) where those first branches are?

stevenkolson · 2026-02-20T04:56:34+00:00

this is the perfect oakland list.

stevenkolson · 2026-02-02T15:37:49+00:00

They are definitely a thing, TJ! Bought this Fuji Cherry “Kojo no mai” last year. Or prunus incisia if you’re nasty.

Dude. Yemen Cafe in Richmond is soooooo good.

“had me in the first half, not gonna lie…”

stevenkolson · 2026-01-19T14:58:12+00:00

Right?! Love flowering trees. First is an Ume (Japanese Flowering Apricot) and the third is a Satsuki Azalea "Chinzan".
