guest weekend

So in honor of having people visiting all last weekend for the holiday, I figured I'd share a little bit more and show off some of our adventures. It is cool having visitors because it definitely gets you to do fun things you've probably been wanting to do anyways.

Friday morning we met up with Perry, Heather, Jerry and Brian up in North Beach for some breakfast at Mama's. This is the best breakfast place I've eaten at in San Francisco, and probably one of my top 5 breakfast places ever. I plan on taking as many people here as possible. Anyways, there was a crew, my roommate Amanda came, plus Charleen and Jeremy. Afterwards, we walked up to Coit Tower
Yarrrr!

Later on we went to the Union Square Tree Lighting. Before...
I'm pretty sure it was a full moon! You can see it blurry in the upper left hand corner.
After!

After debating what to do next, we headed up to North Beach to get dinner with Perry and Heather and play some Guitar Hero III on Wii. Good choice! We ate french fry sandwiches from a local eatery (sooo good) and turned up the ROKK! Apparently, while Jerry and Brian were staying there, they stayed up till 3am at least every night playing Guitar Hero. SICK!
We tore ourselves away ONLY because it meant we could go to Bow Bow for some amazing karaoke. Somehow I only managed to record one song! This is Charleen singing Summer of '69. A classic.

Saturday morning we took the ferry to Oakland to eat at Kincaid's (Jeremy's place of employment).
He offered us some free clam chowder and, well, we are from the east coast! Plus we all got to admire him all dressed up in his 'work' clothes
Not only did we get some great, cheap food, we also got to taste 150 year old Grand Marnier!
This was sort of random
Later on that night we went to Vesuvio.
This is a cool little bar known for being famous writer's hangout, such as Jack Kerouac. It is located at Jack Kerouac alley too!
This is from upstairs, looking down onto the bar
The bathrooms had fun little vending machines. In the men's: and the women's:

Lastly, on Sunday, before Jerry, Brian and Charleen went to head back to Southern CA, we had brunch at Tangerine. Where Jerry threatened to hit me, or maybe it was give me a hi-five.
Something about rye bread if I remember correctly...
