Let me tell you, I'm not sure if I'm ever going to switch it back. This is pretty funny and entertaining. Adds a little "umph" to my addiction.

Beerfest Recap

This past Saturday, I attended San Francisco's Beerfest at Fort Mason for the second time. As always, the beer poured endlessly for three hours, the crowds were drunken, the random cheers continued to roar, and everyone had a pretty awesome time.


One surprise of the evening was the Sierra Nevada guy remembering me and my friend, Kim, from last year. Not only did he hook us up again with t-shirts, but he also snuck us a few (six to be exact) additional bottled beers after the festival was over. Did I mention that he remembered my full name? Yeah, a little bit creepy and stalkerish.

The two downfalls I noticed from the festivities this year were the lack of food and claustrophobic shoulder to shoulder crowds. I'm not sure if it's because I was definitely slightly more sober and aware at Beerfest this year and noticed these two minor mishaps, or if I am accurately depicting the difference in a subpar crowd and lack of food.


Would I go again? Most definitely! Who can say no to three hours of tasting 100's of different beers, [maybe] tasting a few appetizers from local SF joints, and enjoying the craziness my friends and I create. Cheers and drink up!

Check me out - Lola

Today my grandma, Lola, spent a decent amount of money on new clothes at Marshall's and loves throwing on a fashion show, as any female would.

While studying in the living room, my grandma came out of her room, lifted her shirt, slapped her stomach and said, “Look at my new pants.” She was so excited she could not stop smiling and decided to try on and show me the other two pants she bought in different colors.

After asking her why her tan pajama pants were so short, she replied with, “Well… it’s the style now.” I was soooo close to saying, “High waters are back in fashion?” But I decided she would not get the joke or sarcasm.

One pair of pants, the white capri's with a fashionable belt (pic to the left), were actually pretty cute for her style. Sadly, after realizing that the zipper was broken in her new black pair, she told me she's going to return it and buy a new pair with pinstripes. She also said the pockets in the black pants are great for going to the casino and saving her money and kleenex. :)

Mad props to Lola for changing up her wardrobe!

Bucket List Update: Wave Organ and Baker Beach

Check out the wave organ in the Marina: The wave organ is located right past the Marina yacht club. You have walk out onto this little peninsula and down a couple of steps until you hit the wave organ. Being at a little point, the organ had decent views of the City, Marina, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate bridge. Other than that, I was not too impressed with the organ. Although the organs were built with the idea of sound being created by wavelike motions, the tide was too low while I was there for the organs to make any sound. If the tide was higher, MAYBE I would have heard a little bit of sound, but it seemed unlikely since the few organs I looked at seemed to be stuffed with barnacles. Still kinda cool to check out and worth the bucket list of fun.



Play bocce ball at Baker Beach: Although I've been to Baker Beach before, I have never actually had a chance to play bocce while visiting the beach. This beach is tucked right between the Presidio and Sea Cliff which makes it an ideal little quiet spot in the big city. Despite the nudes the closer to the bridge you get, this beach is always beautiful and a perfect little getaway. Aside from the Golden Gate bridge off to one side, you never really feel like you're in SF. As always, an amazing beach and a must see for SF on a sunny day.

Oh Baby, Baby

Last Wednesday, I went with a few friends to the Circus in Oakland. If you're a fan of B.S., you understand that I attended the Britney concert! The four people I've always wanted to see in concert are Britney, JT, Madonna and Michael Jackson. I bought Britney tickets for my 21st birthday a few years ago, but of course that was the tour she ended up cancelling due to a "knee injury." So you can imagine how excited I was last Wednesday to finally see her perform.

The concert as a whole was amazing. Completely worth the amount of money I spent on nosebleed seats with a few just as excited friends. Since her latest album is titled, "Circus," in between songs she had a few performers from an actual circus entertain the crowd. From the Pussycat Dolls opening number, to elaborate costumes and routines, to Brit busting out her infamous/timeless tunes, I had a fantastic evening.

Bucket List Update

During the past two weeks I have successfully completed about half of my bucket list! More to come later, but here's a quick little video of me and Kim on a GoCar tour passing by Baker Beach.
