Ok. So normally I am a really calm and focussed driver. But these past few days in San Fran have been getting my blood boiling. I understand. The streets of Frisco may possibly be some of the most confusing in the world. Compound that with baffled tourists like myself, and a 5 minute drive turns into a 45 minute hellride. Before driving in this city I had used a car horn two times in the past 5 years. In two days here I already tripled that. More…
The lesson for the day: Do not share needles otherwise you will get AIDS
or so it seems. Me and John met with Dave Ellis at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation this afternoon, after a brisk walk through “The Tenderloin” of San Fran’. After our arrival, we were treated with delicious refreshments and shown to our room where we would essentially be contributing to the drug-using population of San Francisco by packaging disposable needles. Unfortunately, rdot and oysta do not condone illegal usage of drugs injected intravenously, but we do approve of helping to combat a disease that is spread heavily through urban populations through negligent use of unsanitary syringes… as well as taking a box of needles to the dome-piece.
Just rolled out of bed, and contemplating whether where we’re going to stay tonight. Ended up going out with Diana128 last night for some late night karaoke, complete with vodka/tonics and my rendition of “Can I get a fuck you” by Jay-z. Classy, eh? I have to say though, Diana was a lot cuter in person—- so me and J enjoyed wooing her in person. She works here in town, and was going to take a cab to his sister’s house in North Beach— but by the time we got back to Travelodge we coerced her into staying at our place. More…
So we are just over 24 hours into our trip and exhaustion is already setting in. Driving in the city today made me realize why I’m gonna sell my car. First off, this roads in this city are confusing as shit. Between dodging trolleys and navigating all the one way roads, my head was spinning after 20 minutes of driving. Top that off with a confused lady from oregon, constantly stopping in front of me and driving 10 miles an hour in a sectioned off lane and i was stressed as a mofo. Yet after a successful lunch meeting and 2 12 packs of PBR stocked in our mini fridge I was ready to charge on. Furthermore, we just picked up fellow power Wooer and UC Berkeley student Diana from the bart station and are gonna hit the town for a few drinks before helpin out with the San Francisco Aids Foundation tomorrow. Well, it is time to leave, but I will leave you with a couple pics from last night. Peace out to my in crowd!
