This was a sort of unintentional party. We were supposed to be getting ready to go camping, but decided to go out for dinner with a bunch of folks, including Annie and Adam who’ve just moved into a new place. Then we decided another round sounded good. Then another, and then we decided we should all go back to the new place and check it out, with a stop at 7/11 for beer and supplies (I had a random gummy bear craving, so sue me).
So yesterday I finally figured out what the motor drive was for: it’s for getting more pictures, faster than your finger can go. I know some of these are similar, and that I should probably cut a few, but that takes time that I don’t have. I know I should point the camera a bit lower, looking at all of these. Anyway, I just wanted to get up a post, so people know that I’m not dead and the blog is still active. Still shooting.
Road trippin’. Hard to get started, although my habit of going out the night before may be to blame. Roughly ten hours on the road, eight in a hotel bed, and I’m still tired. At least tonight we’re sleeping somewhere without a checkout time.
Last night, I was walking down third to get to Garaje. Normally I wouldn’t go that far for dinner, but I had time to kill. I got to mission and third to find third completely blocked, including the sidewalk. The police seemed to have their hands full dealing with irate conference goers and drunk people (but I repeat myself), so I didn’t ask them what was going on. I went around, New Montgomery to Howard. I walked down a mostly empty third street sidewalk, and found that the cops were turning people back at Folsom too. The whole street empty, traffic backed up on third from being redirected.
somewhere between tresspass and wandering, just waiting for my ride. i’m super excited for this thing to finally open, may 4th (so the security gaurd told me). i’ve had a membership the whole time we’ve lived here, even while it was closed for this expansion. people who think the new building isn’t gorgeous: you haven’t looked at it.
