Event Recap:
Over the weekend I had a chance to visit Northern California & at first I was a little bummed because my good friends threw two parties over the weekend down here in southern california, one karaoke & one drinking party but, I have to say Ryan & I had a crazy & tiring weekend.
The ride up:
1) San Luis Reservoir – The moon was shimmering across the whole reservoir on a cloudless night, fucking beautiful.
2) The Stars – Growing up I used to make the ride from Orange County to San Jose & the biggest highlight was always stopping at a rest stop in the middle of the night & laying on the grass to stargaze.
Places I hit up:
1) Ryan’s Grandparent’s house in Mountain View – Wish they were my grandparents
2) Spring Training Conference @ UC Davis – “Where are the girls at?”
3) Filipino Culture Night @ Berkeley – Very Political & hilarious. Much props to PCN @ CAL. Met someone new, Kelly who’s going to NY in the fall
4) Home cooked meal @ Ryan’s Grandparent’s house – Four words “Baby Spinach, Almonds, Dressing, & Mandarin Oranges”
5) Visited Thida @ the San Francisco Art Institute – You have to walk through her bathroom to get to her room, artists are weird =P
6) Hung out @ Kat & Suzi’s place in Berkeley – It was great seeing my old friend Kat (I truly do miss getting to spend time w/ her) & hanging out w/ my new one Suzi
7) Failed drinking kickback @ Dustins, ended up at Alice’s apt – Don’t always need alcohol to have fun….or seem drunk.
8) Chowder’s and watching Seals @ Fisherman’s Wharf – OMG clam chowderi n a sourdough bowl……god’s gift to man.
Stats:
1,174 – # of Miles I racked up on my trip
15 – Hours on the road
$$$$$$$$ – Way to much money spent
4 – The number of friends I wish came with me to SF – Mikie, Kristine, Stephanie, Liss (there are others, but these four have been part of my core crew the past several weeks)
2 – Times I almost got hit by crazy SF buses
All in all a great weekend, if you haven’t been to San Francisco or it’s been awhile since you have been, head out there the first free weekend you have. I was up there for a couple of days and fell in love w/ the city all over again.
