Ah, yes.
The insanity that is my life.
I'm heading to school again this year the last week of July in KCMO.
I plan to hit the Maker's Mark bar at least once, even if I have to go alone.
But I'm looking for things to do to keep myself occupied in the evenings near the Gas & Light District and the area of town near all those Conference Centers... near the Hallmark place.
That's where I'm staying.
I won't have a car and S is having surgery that Monday the 26th in Sacramento,
and I'm trying to keep myself sane and not having panic attacks sitting around in the evenings after classes are over.
I'll be in town from the 25th in the evening through Friday night, the 30th.
If anyone has any ideas or knows of anything going on, that'd be awesome.
I fly out of KCMO at 7am directly to Sacramento to receive my doped-to-the-gills
significant other who will have a 6 - 10" incision where the laminae from L-5 to S-3
will have been removed.
Literally airport to hospital room.
We drive that afternoon to San Francisco, where a friend of ours got us a
$50/night deal at a Brisbane/Airport hotel until the 5th when we go back to
Sacramento for his post-op.
So there, I'm looking for reasonably priced and non-physically taxing things to do.
S is a food-person, so I want to take him to Berkley for crepes
and the Haight for some exploring and the sammich shop he saw on
Man vs. Food, Gordon Biersch for beerz, and if there is a God somewhere,
the Thai barbeque place I went to in 2004 will still be there.
We'll have a rental car, so I'm going to drag him to Sonoma to hit Viansa,
so I can purchase and ship some wine home.
I've already told him he will cooperate or I'll dump an extra percocet in his coffee.
I loved SF when I went and I hope that he'll be able to enjoy the trip, somewhat.
I'm looking for a good pho joint (I'm going to drown him in the stuff), coffee spot,
pub, daytime and nighttime entertainment that, again, won't kill his back.
Normally, we'd hit Muir Woods, the PCH to Half Moon Bay, etc.
Anyone know local joints that are those
must see places that are described
with "if you ever go _______, you just HAVE to _________" for San Francisco?
And, if anyone is in either area, hit me up, yo.
Especially, KCMO...
TOASTER.
