refrain from associating oneself with lost looking tourists.
i.e. my family
The bart system is slightly confusing and me and my family had to pay
some stranger to help us figure it out,
enlightening, actually I now know how to work the turnstiles
but not how to hail a cab
we unintentionally got food at a place called Taylors that was
a little west of Market Street.
We tried to make it to Pier 39 but everyone was too tired
I suggested we make use of one of the pedi-cabs (bicycles with a seat to carry passengers
not unlike a taxi), which my dad automatically assumed was a cab
driven by a pedifile.
We left late today to make a 12:45pm giants game which they won 1-0
spent most of the ninth inning getting food, and beating off timeshare sales reps.
Not to mention the parking deal was INSANE, but in the end was okay.
We stumbled upon a dock that was home to the Festival of Sail
which flaunted The U.S. coast guards Cutter Eagle, and The HMS Bounty, which according to
the informational sign had a starring role in Pirates of the Carribean
The whole thing was typical, hosted by some brewery with a rock climbing wall
and a trampoline with the harness that I classily embarassed myself on much to the delight
of onlookers, there were pictures
next time I will demand that all cell phones are to be turned off and please, no flash photography
There was a band: my dad started dancing so I left but I came back around and found out that
they are from San Jose, and they're called The Mumlers (like Mumblers but without the "b" as the lead singer informed everyone within hearing distance)
Suprisingly they were good with a large variety of instruments, and covering a wide range of genres. I distinctly remember a trumpet, a stand up classic bass, and some guy on a synth.
Some gross drunk guy at the lemonade stand tried to hook me up with his even more gross,
and undoubtedly more drunk friend.
I ordered a soy chai with no water! steamboat would be proud.
I plan on going back to get this tee shirt I saw from a store called West Coast Fungi
that said "got shrooms?"
the shirt at the Festival of Sail was apparently for volunteers only and the girl I talked to
was in no shape to sell me the shirt off her back
Amici's has really good thin crust pizza, REALLY good.
side note: Rachel we totally need to hang out in SF someday soon, like paint the town red
while my dad works at Mission City Outpost. I guess he wants to go back to do
some follow up work
the day was fun, and just makes me want to be in San Francisco even more
but I'll get over it and for my next birthday I'm definitely down for staying there a weekend
with some friends... who's up for it?
also,
I'm trying to think of covers to do, on account of I might try an open mic night thing
any suggestions?
Thats all folks
p.s. pictures coming soon..

Here's what I think......
I'm planning us a road trip. (btw, there's only three stops so far, but I know we'll find more interesting places on the way as well)
First stop: san francisco. stay for the weekend, walk around sixth street and invite people to church at the Mission City Outpost.
Second stop: Portland, Oregon. I don't really know what's in Portland, but I hear its pretty great.
Third stop: Seattle, Washington. Visit Indigo, SPU, go to the top of the space needle (just for the heck of it), go to the art or music festivals that Indigo was talking about, and check out all the coffee shops she said are right above the campus. Oh, and we have to find some grassy knoll she was telling me about.
Sound good?
oh, and we can visit trumpkin in Lodi too.
definitely!
this is the basic structure though
and the real trip involves loads of mini adventures and will
be chalk full of traipsing and creek sploring, as well as it all being captured
on film.. the stationary kind
