In The Mood For Love...


So we went to LoveFest this weekend. That was an interesting experience. I guess the best way to describe it is one big ridiculous rave. Somewhere in between the chicks with fairie wings, and the naked old guys with rings around their cocks, I think you're supposed to be dancing. I dunno', I may not get it exactly, but it was fun, and I'm pretty sure I would go again. I'm not all that into techno, and the various techno derivative musics, but it was totally worth it for me just to see all the weirdness in action. That said, it wasn't as weird as it could possibly be, but there were a number of costumes in there that were cool. I wish I were into techno a little more so that the dancing would have been more interesting, but it doesn't change enough for me. It seems like you would listen to the same beat for like 10 minutes. I prefer hip hop dj's still because I would rather things change up every few minutes. Also, to all the dj's out there that have parts in their songs with long crescendos into nothing. hear this. Stop it. That is all.

I actually ended up spending the entire weekend in SF, and on the second day we like the polar opposite activity by going to a blue grass festival. Again, not my kind of music, but still a good day. For me it was mostly about lounging back, sipping on Izze, hanging with friends, and watching people go by. I was also tempted by kettle corn (curses to you for introducing me to that one), and discovered that funnel cakes are possibly one of the most delicious forms of evil ever invented.

Finally, the weekend was topped off with a visit to Eos, which is cool because we happened to have a hook up when we went. That place is pretty expensive, but all the dishes were really unique, and interesting. I am now in love with the idea of an apple chutney, I need to find an excuse to make a meal for which I can make that. They also had a steak for which the sauce really reminded me of bazillian food. At first, I wasn't enthused with the idea of eating there, but in the end, I was really happy we did. Everything was super good and the sparks of inspiration are flowing. To any non believers out there of the awesomeness of CA, I hope that you can now see why this place rocks. I mean seriously, how was your weekend? Did you have old guys parading there genitals not more than 20 yards from the entrance to city hall? I think not.
