still doin' it!
i’ve been slacking off a little over the last week.
you might have noticed that or will if you take a look at the date this party took place ;-)
i went to meet jon, mo, natalie and other friends of theirs for dinner in san francisco that day.
i took the BART to montgomery street station and walked up montgomery, as mo told me.
well, i got past a ton of navy people (it was fleet week at the time) and kind of missed a nice photo: a couple of navy guys in their sailor suits standing on the corner of montgomery and pacific right underneath the street sign. but maybe that’s just me thinking it would be nice, twisted minds ;)
mo told me to look out for the intersection with columbus, and so i did.
well, montgomery came to an end, and i was standing right at montgomery/green and there was no way to go any further.
so i called mo again and got told to go back on vallejo and look out for columbus ave.
what i wasn’t told was, that vallejo was blocked off at one point and i was on the wrong side.
so i took the only logical option and walked down the open end of vallejo ending up at the piers. duh.
finally, walking back on broadway i managed to take the right on columbus and meet the guys at columbus/grant
we had some awesome italian food at ideale before we went strolling back down the hill (yes, north beach is UP the frickin’ hill, i think i walked up and down like 3 times till i got to grant st) and around 10 or 10:30 we ended up somewhere between market and mission:
we went to still doin’ it at the anu bar in san francisco.
the bar is pretty small, yet fun.
i had a great time there, even tho it party stopped at 2am, which was kinda sad, really.
but rohan and martyn did a great job mixing everything from the all-time classics such as adam f – metropolis (you can listen to it on his website, if you want an idea), over to the newer, darker bassbin stuff, to some lovely old party rollers.
now the fun started.
remember, it was fleet week AND all the bars close at 2am.
now, as a minor detail, add a detour and crap on the bay bridge.
total chaos.
people driving on the wrong side of the road, cutting off other people, ignoring traffic lights.
nuf said, mo ended up driving down 101 to take the san mateo bridge.
so i ended up at home at around 4:30 or 5am.
what a day :D
