Around the World: San Francisco, California

Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco

This past weekend I went to San Francisco with Cely. How come no one told me it would be that cold? I went there with dresses and one pair of cut-off jeans. Suffice it to say, I went shopping for some real clothes the next day!

I went for a coworkers wedding and like the only duh duhduh I flew into San Jose. The trip into San Fran was long, but scenic, so I can’t even complain about that.

My flight was at 6:15 AM. I didn’t even bother sleeping the night before, as I didn’t have a ride. I took the LIRR to the Airtrain and made with an hour to spare. Cely and I had an hour layover in Phoenix which wasn’t bad (we ate lunch).

Once in San Jose, we took a shuttle into Santa Clara and then the Caltrain into San Francisco. In total it cost about $10, opposed to the hundred something I thought I would have to pay. I wish I could tell you what the scenery looked like, but I can’t…as I was sleeping.

It was gay pride weekend, and I guess if I hadn’t spent the time whining and sleeping, we would have gotten amazing pictures of the party at Castro as well as some exploratorium pictures and other cool stuff. But I whined, and napped, so that didn’t happen. (In my defense, I would have been fine if I could have found a belt!!!)

On Sunday was my coworkers wedding, and I must say, she looked beautiful! Absolutely stunning! Her friends are awesome too, and we all had a great time together. It was a great weekend!

I also got to see the Golden Gate Bridge aka the Red Bridge. Well, bits and pieces of it anyway…it was foggy as hell up there.

I will definitely be going back!

On the Go: Anberlin and Story of the Year

Went to a concert with Ceecee and our respective sisters last night. Pretty awesome if I do say so myself! If you don’t know, now would be a good time to brush up on who these two bands are.

Aside from the fact that the band members are HOT, they can really belt it out.

Whereas Anberlin’s music has a subtle Christian message about hope and love and perseverance, SotY is full-out power.

 

 

 

Anberlin has matured so much over the years and I am glad to know they were signed by Universal Republic last year!!

Story of the Year is an amazing performance band and deserves a label that can market them well. Hopefully that will happen soon!
