The Nightman Cometh

We saw the live rendition of the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia musical with Danny Devito. The crowd at the Masonic Center was super psyched for the show and gave them a standing ovation before the show even started. If you're not easily offended, watch the series!

Prime Rib, Music and Donuts

For our pre-concert meal we went to the House of Prime Rib. I don't think the decor of this place has changed since it first opened. They slice off a piece of steak at your table and even offer you a second slice if you want it. I got their one non-meat dish :-)

With full bellies we walked down to the Regency ballroom to watch the Happy Mondays and Psychedelic Furs. After the show we stopped by Bob's Donuts on our way home. Maple french cruellers fresh out of the oven. Mmmmmmm!

Football Saturday

Erik and Ari came over to watch the Michigan vs. Notre Dame game. Michigan won thanks to Yari sporting his Michigan jersey.

Bowling Birthday

We went to the Presidio Bowl to celebrate Kevin's 36th birthday. I got 5 strikes and 3 spares in one game! I think i ended up with a 154, highest score ever! Although the birthday boy had to steal my thunder with a 174.

We hit a few bars over on Polk Street afterwards and ended the night with car bombs and a few more beers.

Pearl Jam at Outsidelands

Kevin and I made it down to Outsidelands for one of the three days. It was actually blazing hot at Golden Gate Park on Friday. I thought about buying a skirt to change into but I could see see clouds coming up from the ocean.

Built to Spill, Silversun Pickups, and Pearl Jam were on the main stage.

Summertime = swimming holes!

Since San Francisco during the "summer" months is usually cold and foggy I live for the weekends I can jump into the warm, clear waters of the Yuba River, or any body of water, really. We rented a cabin near the middle and south forks of the Yuba river at Willow Creek joined by Kim, Brian, Mandy, Cameron and Sucio & Yari.

We set out along Canyon Creek trail and checked out two swimming holes along the trail. The first was pretty nice but the second was definitely more beautiful.


Unlike Yari, Sucio was fearless in the water. She sure loves to "save you" from drowning though :)

Sucio and Yari battled all weekend and spooned on the couch to sleep it off.

The next day we hiked along Hoyt's trail by the old highway 49 bridge. Hoyt's crossing was a pretty wide and flat hole (no big rocks to jump off from) and the nudist area so we hiked back to a couple other enticing spots.

Scene of the crime. I no longer heart State Parks and their rangers.

Perseids at Baker Beach

It was a clear Thursday night so we dragged ourselves to Baker Beach to scope out the meteor shower. Even with the city lights we caught about 10 of them. Some of of the shooting stars seemed to lazily streak across the entire sky. Hopefully we'll make it to Yosemite next year where the meteor shower count is about 100-200/hour!!
