So Elephant Larry's SF departure is less than four hours from now. I've never been before, so I'm pretty excited to see what all the fuss is about. I love being on the brink of going to a new place, especially after hearing so much about it for TWENTY YEARS NONSTOP.
It's funny, because as I take a step back to think about it, I'm honestly expecting to step into a city that's a weird amalgamation of the following:
- Rice-a-Roni
- Hills
- Trolleys
- Full House
- Fog
- Laid back-ness
- The Golden Gate Bridge
- Alcatraz/The Rock/Little Green Balls that Make Men's Faces Melt
...and returning with no heart because I left it there.
For the record, Chicago was pretty windy, I ate plenty of Deep Dish Pizza, and I'm pretty sure I ended up enjoying some Second City-related comedy.

uhh...hello...how bout the Grateful Dead??? Haight Ashbury anyone?
uh-oh. I hope I caught you in time.
I think I remember hearing somewhere...
"If you go to San Francisco, be sure to wear a flower in your hair."
Actually, I did end up wearing a flower in my hair. At least for a little bit. I put a flower behind my friend's ear and he forgot about it and had it there for about 5 hours or so. It was in Golden Gate park, and I think it was a daisy.
I can't totally remember though...I was a little distracted by the big three-pronged antenna looming ominously from Twin Peaks. I think it was trying to zap me.
