I got back late last week from my trip to the San Francisco Bay Area. The primary purpose was for business but I went a couple days early to see family and friends. I had sent messages out to people on Buzznet several weeks in advance and then did a couple more follow ups after that. I appreciated that several people were very upfront about not being able to make a meetup on that weekend and I did have a couple unavoidable last minute cancellations due to illnesses but generally I was extremely disappointed in several people who said they would be there but didn’t show up. Cherubrock/Viola did show up and brought a friend but she doesn’t even live in San Francisco. Even though I am one of the few native Californians this experience really dredged up the “flakey Californian” stereotype.

I did enjoy going to my old haunts in SF and the business aspect of my trip was successful. I did hook up with my old high school chum Mike and we had a couple great nights out. He is a brilliant character and it is always life affirming to spend some time with him. I’m hoping that my next trip to San Francisco is a bit more positive than this last one – despite being a hardass I am forgiving.
