Ah, the long weekend approaches. I'm off work at noon tomorrow and on the smelly 5 North to San Francisco soon after. What will we do when we arrive in my favorite American city?
We will see our friend Dana and stay in her apartment with her cats, Charlie and Bill.
We will visit Citizen Cake and have some type of fattening dessert.
We will go shopping (but not buy anything because I've reached by clothes-buying budget cap for the month already) at Dema, where the clothes are mod and expensive but not at all slutty.
We will buy CDs at Amoeba in the Haight, which is not as big as the Hollywood Amoeba, but sometimes has stuff we are denied at home.
We will also eat at a bunch more places, like l'Ottavo and Ti-Couz. Eating is our primary tourist activity. Yes, San Francisco, for us, is really just eating, shopping, walking, unsuccessfully trying to avoid taking MUNI and sitting around Dana's apartment listening to David Sedaris CDs.
Goddamn, we know how to party.
