Fifteen, Four, Three, Two...
Whirlwind, whirlwind! Amazing how much stuff goes down when there things due. Only four papers, three days of actually going to school, two presentations (and a partridge in a pear tree) left; good thing it’s raining now so I can finally hunker down this weekend. I do feel bad for the Wildlife crew though, as they had to call off their party in the park due to the weather...
A few brief reviews/lessons learned over the last few days:
Ebisu Sushi: their specials are a bit too over-the-top for my liking. I prefer No Name, especially the standard rolls in miniature.
Potlucks: it’s never a bad idea to bring something you know you’ll eat... just kidding, I love potlucks. More potlucks!
Beauty Bar: not so much in the music category. Lots of, um, interesting people to watch/keep off your toes. Super-weak drinks always get thumbs up from me, but I realize that’s rare.
Backyard BBQ’s: down jackets are good protection from iffy San Francisco weather. BYO bottle opener to avoid frustration and make friends at the cooler (Evan’s trick).
Presidio “Rager” = oxymoron. To qualify that, we decided that real ragers usually involve some combination of sticky floors, a general feeling of not having enough oxygen or personal space, and things getting broken and/or stolen. On the positive side, comfy couches, fancy cakes, and actually being able to hear the person you’re talking to garner points in my book.
Madrone Lounge: fancy girls (though the ones in the cat outfits were gone by the time we made it in) and good music last night; somehow the 80’s tunes were mixed in much more smoothly than at Beauty Bar. Maybe everything’s cooler when you’re holding a 24 of Budweiser? Ha, as if I could make it to the bottom of a tall can… The photographic rendition of Olympia currently hanging on the wall is somewhat disturbing.
The Pork Store Cafe (Haight): no review yet as cranky people with low blood sugar are allergic to long lines.
