Wish I Was There
As I recover from my red eye and my incredible non-stop weekend of fun in SF just wanted to put up a quick post to say I’m back. There will be plenty more coverage + pictures as the week goes on, but in the meantime, here are some highlights:
- coming home with a “tan” = best weather ever! mid 70s and sunny the entire time
- watching people do tai chi in the park
- seeing artists at work in the museum and kids eager to learn about art
- experiencing Berkeley
- scoping out my favorite publishing house
- adult sno-cones at the Gallery 16 “When Hell Freezes Over” (and Rex Ray) opening
- a restaurant opening with free beer and an owner wearing a furry leopard print thong, red cape and rollerblades
- seeing the “painted ladies” made famous by the opening scene of “Full House”
- buying olives to cure at the farmer’s market (note: I hate olives)
- watching a hip-hop troupe rehearse in the park
- dinner with amazing friends (a worldly crew who all had either traveled around the world, done the Peace Corps or both!)
- finding out what a pirate shop is really like
- missing the last ferry back from Tiberon and hitch-hiking back to San Fran…in a Land Rover!
- walking until I could walk no more

Wow, sounds like an amazing weekend! I sought out those same houses from the Full House opening last time I was in San Francisco! -X

A pirate shop? Truly, my life is not as full as it could be.
