evelyn! @ GDC, SF, Oakland

i'm so tired but i've delegated an agent to stay in bed for me while i explore. maybe this AI shit isn't so bad

it wasn't as good as i remember, but it was also mid-day and empty whereas i usually had it late at night when it was bumpin

I love the tender loins

oh yeah i ate there a lot when i worked in SF in 2012 cuz my coworkers loved it

Pilgrimage 1 complete.

oh i already hit up cancun :3
pancho villa is one of my faves too, i was hoping to go while i'm here but i may not have time

ok i think that bakery actually closed in like 2012 lmao. still, i miss it.

now i'm remembering how much my decision to leave the bay was made easier by how little of what i loved was still there. fully ship-of-theseus'd by the time i left

The yerbas remain, but the buena is gone...

Look what they did to my boy. How can you enjoy the beautiful Yerba Buena Gardens without a delicious Danish from La Boulangerie??? It was bad enough when Samovar closed

Come say hi if you see me at GDC, I'll be in this bed making this face and cursing the gods

i literally cannot find a place anymore that makes chocolate shakes with chocolate ice cream and i just got bamboozled again

restaurants that sell "chocolate" shakes that are just vanilla with chocolate added almost make me believe in the death penalty

i was not expecting elliott smith star trek jokes but here we are

First the mic, then a half cigarette
Singing "Kathy's Clown"

forgot to add pic. this fucking thing.

looking up the little hut near my old work that i called the stock market reverse panopticon, that used to be some wall street nonsense, and now it's "SVB experience". I think that experience is you walk in, get stabbed and robbed, then that person gets stabbed and the money falls into the gutter

there seems to be a valley fed by Black Butte Lake, and there is one "Stony Ridge Reservore" in it, but there is no reference to Stony Ridge anywhere except the reservoir. i'm losing my fucking mind. this massive geological feature has no name and no mention anywhere. it's the REAL door to Lemuria

i had a clear eastern view from the plane and i have become absolutely obsessed with this long ridge/valley i noticed running forever and ever, and can't find a name for. it's the border of the Central Valley and Mendocino Forest, and i'm dying to know the geology of it, but can't find info

Heyyy do I know anyone in Oakland with a car who wants to drive me some places in West Oakland so I can have a deep emotional moment?

The San Jose hills are shining like emeralds. The sour woodsorrels are blooming all over. The cypresses in SF are stunning as ever. I'm crying. I'm going to cry a lot this week. I need to come visit for like a month some time, I need to see all of my old haunts from 17 years in the bay

Girlfriend in a Colma I know, I know it's serious

I think there's a different dispensary with that name in every neighborhood

Aerial view from a descending plane of downtown Oakland and Lake Merritt, with Alameda in the foreground

Oakland!!! Homeland!!!

it's tough! it's something i've had to work on a lot myself, finding the balance between looking forward to things but not putting too much stake in it so i feel bad if things don't pan out

i wonder if they could add it as a CC option

pirate broadcast of Make Some Noise that keeps the prompt on screen during the performances

WHO'S GONNA BE AT GDC???? or just like, around? or at SLUG WORLD??

A Vox AC30c2 tube amplifier with a price tag of $700

Dogs help me, I fucking want it. I want it so bad. It probably weighs more than me and would blow my house to pieces with its volume, but it's a fucking AC30. I might go back and ask if they have an attenuator I can try in the FX loop to see if it can be played at reasonable volume

off to SF tomorrow, to try and visit like 10 bay area friends in 5 days. wish me fucking luck. also i'm going to miss my guitars so much ;_;

but how can you see them if they're transparent???????????? AYYYYYYYY
