Spent yesterday kicking around with Jordan at work for the first half, and then took Caltrain into San Fran to meet up with Cyan and later on, Steve, Nehemiah, and Tom. We ate at El Toro over on 17th and Valencia, and then headed to Twin Peaks, the most amusing and comfortable gay bar I've ever been in. Fun was had by all, as we drank and told stories. The essence of a good time.

After Twin Peaks, Nehemiah and Steve went back to their respective homes, and Cyan, Tom, and I headed off to DNA Lounge. It's a pretty cool place! I had only known the layout as pieced together by the pictures on the website, after having actually been in it, I can appreciate it a lot more. Very neat space, cool music, and great friends. I met up with Bram, Dave, Darwin, Danfuzz, Jamie, Angela, Eric, and other various regulars throughout the night.

Woke up fine, headed off to lunch with Danfuzz down in South Beach and had some great chicken pesto pizza cooked by real italians. Note to eastcoasters: Good pizza does actually exist on the west coast, it's just hard to find. After lunch, hopped back on Caltrain out to San Mateo, met up with Jordan, spent some time kicking around at his office, then came back to his place to Jessie's delicious hand cooked manicotti. Unbelievable.

I will miss not only all of this, but all of what could be, when I leave this coming Thursday. I will miss the company of these friends as well. But I will never forget these times with these people.

I hope to return soon.
