April 12 - The rents visit SF

  • My parents have been in SF since Friday night. We kicked things off Friday at 111 Minna where they caught my SF DJ debut! (Thanks Gabriel for all those beers!). I DJ'd the private party room for my workmate's birthday bash. I must say, not too shabby for my first public SF DJ appearance!
  • Luckily we struck while the weather was good and Saturday checked out the morning markets at the Ferry Terminal building. IMHO, this is the best thing to do whether or not you have guests in town to bring. We're talking farm fresh veggies (note: there are no peppers since they're out of season), flowers, fresh baked goods, meats, potatoes, cheeses, the works. Best tip: look for the free samples of the fried asparagus guys in the back lot...delicioso!
  • The rest of the weekend was spent taking cable cars (not trolleys!) wondering around Ghiradrdelli Square, Fisherman's Wharf, and the seafront. We also drove to Sausalito and Tiburon and had a great lunch at the famous local joint Sam's cafe in Tiburon. It was raining so we skipped the house Mai Tai's I've been mandated to try, but opted for some great grub including the "best fish and chips I've had in three years" quoted by my Mom, and some spicy Huevos Rancheros that was very satiating.
  • Other cool stuff we did: saw the Spelling Bee musical, visited Napa valley, and checked out the SF Moma.
