i had another visitor immediately following my final final, this time from my hometown of monroe township, new jersey.
i showed kristen some of the similar locations that i took sarah to, only this time there were certain parts of her vacation that definitely differed.
first, in celebration of my looming birthday, kristen took me to supper club, quite possibly the most bizarre dining experience i have ever had in my life... and i've been to a sushi joint in dublin (they had no idea what they were doing).
not only is the entire restaurant served at once, but we are asked to take our shoes off and climb into one of the many beds.
that's right, readers, this place serves you in bed.
here was our view from the second of two floors.
i know what you're thinking, "this looks like a nightclub."
or maybe you were thinking, "gee, i wonder when michael's birthday is."
a: june 18th, but let's focus, people.
for those of you curious about the ambiance, yes, the place does turn into a nightclub immediately following four courses of heaven. but during this meal, club kids dressed for a 1990s rave in philadelphia served us drinks,
delightfully tailored portions of food
and provided witty banter and eye candy.
in between the courses was when the fun really begins...
and then that happened...
and then that happened...
and then that happened...
we were fed dessert, i was given a birthday shot by the "hostess"and we went on our merry little ways after 4 delicious courses.
we also got an amazing audio tour at alcatraz
i thought that a tour of alcatraz was the most touristy thing a person could do in san francisco, but i was sadly mistaken. we went to the jail on the day of prop 8's confirmation announcement.
so kristen got to take part in the most san francisco-ish thing a person can do - protest.
this was no ordinary protest. in fact, this was the largest protest i have ever been a part of. we shut down market street on both sides and marched through downtown.
it was pretty intense.
we all arrived at yerba buena gardens, however it was cut short after police made an arrest and the crowd got angry and shut down nearby streets
3 very san franciscan activities and another completed vacation.
love and loyalty

That club is SWEET!!
Excellent summation of the activities of my trip to san francisco (minus the cold weather and mad bones dropped on shoes and clothes). I still cannot get over that I spent 9.5% for sales tax on clothes!!! The activities mentioned above were certainly the highlights of the trip. Thank you for being an excellent host. Don't wait too long to come back to jersey (joisey)!
oh and one more thing...
AND THEN THAT HAPPENED!!!
p.s.
Do you think you could fedex overnight me some buffalo boys from weird fish? Just pack them in ice. thanks.
