Far @ Slim's
For those of you who do not know who Far is, I highly recommend you check them out. They were a band that I listened to quite a bit starting in highschool and throughout college. But they broke up as a band back in the late 90s. I was so excited to hear that after almost 10 years they are back together and playing a live show in San Francisco. I went with my girlfriend, roommate, and met up with several of my old buddies from the East Bay area. It was really a great show. And great to reconnect with a few old pals. I recommend you check out and support this awesome band at www.thebandfar.com.
Oh yeah, and click on the photo for a link to more pictures from the show.

A quiet San Francisco last evening
We ended up driving around in his convertible (in February!) as it was quite pleasant out and noticeably quiet. As we drove through the marina, Ghiradelli Square, Fisherman's Wharf, and The Embarcadero, all we saw were empty taxi's and empty public transit. Stores and restaurants looked abandoned at 8:30pm. And we only saw a handful of people walking along the waterfront. It was sort of eerie. Did we miss something last night? Was there a new episode of LOST on tv that everyone was at home watching?
Not to be discouraged by the Golden Gate Bridge mishap, we ventured out to treasure island and snapped some shots. It was quiet there too.. no wind.. just silence. A small crowd gathered the longer we were there.
