painting the town

I needed to satisfy a couple of write-ups of design exhibits or lectures for both my classes; one for extra credit, the other a requirement. So I headed downtown via BART (I knew driving downtown in the middle of the holiday shopping mess would get crazy).

Had such a fun time. After visiting my first gallery on Sutter St., I headed down Powell to visit my friend who works at H&M. On my way down, I saw one of those street performers who dress up head-to-toe in either silver or gold. This one reminded me of a C3-PO/stormtrooper/Princess Leia all in one.


I encountered great difficulty finding my friend at H&M, as a mass of shoppers flooded the floors, and none of the employees there didn't know who she was; I asked about six people that work there before someone finally knew who she was and which section she works in. I bought two pairs of trunks or I think they're boxer briefs.

I got camera crazy the rest of the time:


Roomie met up with me at the SFMOMA:



Roomie then went on to hook up with friends for dinner and I went home. On the way, I found out about this new alley between the Marriott and St. Patrick's on Mission Street that ended up to Market Street. I haven't been to these parts in a long time, so I was surprised.


I got home really hungry so I munched on some Trader Joe's chips and Tiramisu Gelato that I just discovered last night. Talk about heaven in your mouth, this one tastes like it too. YUMMM-EEEEE!
