San Francisco at night
Sunday night I decided to walk to Fillmore to get dinner. If you know San Francisco you will laugh when I tell you that I'm staying on Sansome - it's a long way! Plus I walked there along California - right over the highest part of the hill...
On the way back I met Walter. Walter doesn't like alcohol, it makes people do bad things. He had a "particular agenda" that apparently required a five dollar bill - he even swapped me one of his one dollar bills in exchange. Last night I met Michael "the map man". He gave me the good oil on what areas to avoid and where Tom Lee Hooker's old haunts are. He knows a thing or two about Australia ("@#$% Botany Bay man") and is mad as hell about T.J. Hickey. Now I know which weekly papers advertise the best gigs, and which combination travel tickets will save me the most money. That should help me save back the three dollar "tip" I gave him. Tonight at the Golden Gate Perk I listened in to the table next to me discussing the business plan for a new travel website targetting "party travellers". Apparently they're going to "take it to the edge" and it's going to be "viral". It will feature a travel weblogging feature so that the public users will make them "mountains of content every day" which they plan to leverage by hosting Google ad's and cataloging email addresses. Later on in the night, the Bay area's 137th homocide took place in Mission - shortly after the town hall cancelled a public meeting on violence. David Letterman was just chatting with someone from San Francisco - according to Dave San Francisco is colder in the summer than the winter, I sure hope that's not true - it's not the height of winter yet and my hotel sheet tells me the temperature range tomorrow will be 30 to 60 (that's farenheit people). This place sure runs to a different drum. 05:08 PM, 08 Dec 2005 by Mark Aufflick Permalink | Comments (0)
