and if you're coming out for the annual Jerry Day concert

in August, make a week of it and stay for the Jerrry Tribute at the Giants game, which is also a benefit for Rex!

While you're in town this month

go to Macy's. Honest. It's MS Awareness month this month, and a whole bunch of the area's best rock photographers have donated incredible photos for sale to benefit the cause. Many of the pix are on display at Macy's Union Square. If you've REALLY got money to burn, you can buy your own, too! But you can at least admire the images here.

my feeling

Weather conditions permitting, come down one way and go back the other.

Question for the north Cali natives

Driving down Oregon, is it worth it to cut over to Hwy 101 and drive through the Redwoods down to San Fran or is it advisable to just stay on I-5? According to Google Maps it takes almost 3 extra hours to drive down 101 rather than I-5. It's been a good 20 years since I have been through the Redwoods and I'd like to check it out again but wont if it is a driving nightmare. Thanks for any advice!

Pretty interesting plot though! Enjoy!

If You're Going to San Francisco...

Be sure to wear some trousers, don't go bare.

I'm on my way ...

a week from today. A bud and I are going to do the SF 1/2 maraton - his 1st, my 3rd. Of course, I'll be making a stop or two at Amoeba and marauding the streets of North Beach and the Missions. I love the two hour time-zone thing - I'm from St. Louis - and the feeeel of the pristine skies and cooool temps. Oh, lawdy! The coolest thing is my family and I (and daughter's boyfriends - more than one daughter) were very recently in Hilton Head, S.C. Two different universes in a month!!!So if you see a bald Italian and a tan Irishman, be sure to say hola, y'all!

hey welcome

have a great time while you're here! Catching the Jerry festivities?

3 more weeks

I grew up in Ohio, lived in Colorado for 15 years, and now live in Adelaide, South Australia. In 3 weeks my wife, three step kids(15,14,10), mother/ father-in-law and I will be in San Francisco starting a nine week holiday taking us all over the U.S. San Fran is my favorite city in the states. This will be the first trip for my family. We just have 4 days there, but have much planned. After that we head to Vegas, Denver, South Carolina, Atlanta, Orlando, back north to D.C., New York, Niagra Falls, Ohio, Tennesse, then back to S.C. to fly back here to Adelaide. A trip of a lfetime for the kids and hopefully they will see the real America rather than the hollywood version. See ya soon.
