At the city by the bay, the place of my birth, neighbor to Berkeley (the home of Top Dog), cousin to Santa Cruz. I fucking love that town.


This last trip was intended as a chance to meet up with all of my G-Spot buddies that I never get to see except at the burn. That aim was completed, but I also had the most fun three days of my life. Seriously, it was all so much fun.


Here are a few highlights:


The best costume store ever is Piedmonts on Haight. I'm not even that into costumes and I was blown away. I bought a dayglow orange necklace.


GeoCaching in SF is fun. So much in fact that we lost our umbrellas while rushing to return a cache before any muggles saw us.


SF is beautiful rain or shine.


Went to Anon Salon in SF. What a great crowd. String Cheese Incedent was the main attraction. Some people were calling it a cross between a rave and phish concert. I just kept wondering why all these hippies were so afraid of bass? The art at the party was really good. There were lots of cool smaller attractions and trip toys. Quote of the night from my buddy Andrea: "Let's go make another puppet."


Took a Limo from Anon Salon to "The Ranch" Sorta like Bassworks with a hot tub. We had a 2 hours to kill before Space Cowboys' Breakfast of Champions. Fun little party, met up with lots of people that I'd met in previous recent trips to SF, all of whom ended up being Andrea's friends. After a soak and some broccoli we got a ride over to "BOC" as it's called. It was 7am when we arrived and there was a big line out front, took 45 minutes or so to get in. It was in a medium sized club with two rooms ironically called "Whisper". It was elbows to assholes full of a really fun crowd. NYE is ameteur night to be sure, these people were all Champs. I didn't quite care for the breaks, but the house music was cool. I like that SF sound, even if it can be a little light on the drums.


Later on Andrea brought her kids (She's a Nanny) over to hang out. Cuuuuuuuuuuuute.


Here's pics from the weekend. The big guy in the 2nd pic is Mark Mitchell, the main man of G-Spot. Be sure to note the Penguin, with a ukulele that needed a ride to "MILL VALY".


Also from this weekend, we met one sad clown.
