Weekend Update

Friday
Chicago Cousins in the house. Diana was in town for a Baptism and Eric & Lisa came to visit Melissa. After they all ate L&L, visited the Jelly Belly Factory, tasted Napa Wines and ate pie at Nation's, I met my cousins up at Gerry's Grill - eat fest. The wait was an hour and a half, but, we got a tower of beer so who cares.


After dinner, we all went to Blue Chalk in PA. Apparently it was Standford Grad Student Night so it was packed with "Intellectuals" (nerds) like the Asian dude who kept raising his hand like he was in class, trying to order a manly Midori Sour. And of course there was Davin, the Finishpino (Finland/Philippines combo) who's opening line to me was "What's your background?". Thinking he wanted to talk business, I replied "Marketing", but it turned out he wanted to know my ethnicity. Ooof.

Eric wussed out and almost yacked from a a girly Kamikaze shot. He claims he was buzzed off of all the beer that seeped into his body after a some dude spilled all over his back. He later manned up and had some Carl's.












Saturday
SF Sight seeing. Itinerary included Fisherman's Wharf (for some Clam Chowder in a bread bowl), Pier 39 to see the sea lions, the Huf Store, the Crookedest Street (hella risky uphill drive), Japantown (for a quick pee), Golden Gate Park's Japanese Tea Gardens (but it was closed) and the standard Golden Gate Bridge.


Afterwards, we had dinner at Lisa's (former Club Caspar, RIP) and kicked it for a bit at Yoswirl.




Sunday
Alexander Raiden's Birthday. Oakland Zoo, Rides Area. Thanks Undoy Alex for hooking the kids up with unlimited rides! Their roller coaster, although small, was pretty good dude! The train ride around the zoo however...weak. It went around (not in) the zoo, the view was hills of dirt and other than the fake plastic animals around the tracks, all I saw was a wild squirrel.

Cool place to have a birthday party though! Happy Birthday mini me.
