i’m finally over being sick. after spending last weekend (and the whole following week) being sick and miserable, it was good to finally get out of the house and have some fun. friday night sarah mazze was down here from oregon and it was great to get to see her again. saturday night some of us went to check out this bar called the phone booth. at the bar, kevin spent an hour trying to convince us that this girl there was Jamon, and when we had finally convinced him that it wasn’t her, by some totally random coincidence the real Jamon showed up. what are the chances of that? turns out she lives near by and the phone booth is her local neighborhood bar. sunday i checked out cirque du soleil. i got there expecting to be really impressed… and i totally was. the stuff these people do is just simply amazing! Afterward, i had to speed back to SF to catch the Sage Francis concert. it’s crazy, he’s gone from playing at Bottom of the Hill and not even packing the place, to selling out Slim’s completely. to mix things up a bit he played w/ a live band instead of a dj. it was cool cause it was different… but honestly i liked the last show he did a lot better.
all in all it was a really cool weekend. the last week had been so weird. being sick and home alone really made me feel like i was in this halfway limbo state… not still away in thailand but at the same time like i wasn’t really back here in the US yet. i was back home, yet couldn’t experience all the stuff that i love about being here. finally getting to get out and have fun and hang out with friends definitely makes me appreciate everything about here. it may not be the same as traveling, but if there is a place i’m psyched on living in… it’s definitely here.
