For the second year in a row, I managed to make it to San Francisco for a second time in the course of the year (my fourth visit since moving away; Jen’s third). We were fortunate enough to be there for both work and play, and, as usual, squeezed so much into what always amounts to too little time and not enough opportunity to see everyone we would like to see.
We did, however, spend a lot of quality time with the likes of James, Enoch, Ben, Jeanine, Martha, Tiff, Miguel, Shannon, and others. I feel so lucky to have such great friends on both coasts, and really appreciate that everyone sets aside so much time to hang out with us while we’re in San Francisco. Being in San Francisco is like we never left. Something about leaving your heart there. This time was a first, though, since we actually stayed in a hotel instead of crashing at Enoch’s pad on Treasure Island.
From Juan’s to the View (the Marriott’s 39th-story bar, 17 floors above where we stayed) to All You Knead to Ocean Beach to Zeitgeist to Pancho Villa to Thirsty Bear to the GC Restaurant to Mel’s Diner to House of Nanking to the 4th Street Bar & Grill, we covered the bases, both usual and new. It was non-stop fun and it was pointless to try to wipe the smiles off our faces.
I can’t wait to see everyone, including the fair city of San Francisco, once again.
