Yesterday for my birthday I took the day off and spent the day in SF with Diane.
We had breakfast with halogen-siphon coffee at Blue Bottle, went the the Academy of Sciences and saw a stuffed Tasmanian wolf and mammoth hair, lunch at Luna Park, then to Spy Shop, and a couple hours at Musee Mechanique.
Then we went to City Lights to learn about Beatniks and got a snack at Victoria Bakery, and then we went to a SFFS forum talk at Mezzanine to see Peaches Christ and The Butcher Brothers. Peaches signed some posters for us, and effects guy Terry Sandlin showed me how the Blood Cannon worked. The funny thing is Mezzanine is literally something like 50 feet away from Blue Bottle, so we made a big loop.
It was a good day!
