I told you I was going to be all up in San Francisco’s business… district…

Ironically, as much as I do like the joke in the title, I wasn’t actually supposed to end up in the Embarcadero portion of San Francisco at all. The original plan was to meet up with my friends somewhere else, … Continue reading
