It was my "date's" birthday so we decided to take a trip up to san fransisco together from l.a. we left early friday morning and made it up in the afternoon. stopped by an old BK friends spot in berkely. checked into our posh hotel, the argent and made plans for the night. got dressed up and headed to baobab for senagalese dinner with san fran friends. saturday, we headed out to mill valley to see famed photog, pirkle jones. he is 93 so we only stayed two hours or so. afterwards we walked in the mist and cold of the eucalyptus forrests in marin. that night we got all sorts of decked out, my "date" in his new gift which was a fly hat from me. hit yoshi's in oakland for yummy sushi and an amazing jazz act. ended up back at the hotel, drunk and wanting more. raided the wine fridge and drank vino out of paper cups in front of our amazing floor to ceiling window overlooking the city. sunday, got up and headed to city lights bookstore where I bought hemingway for me and bukowski for him. took the scenic route to the cliff house restaurant for an unbelievable late birthday brunch. had more wine then headed out down pacific coast highway 1 towards big sur. come 9pm, it was too dark and windy to drive so we decided to stay the extra night in a campground in big sur. got up this morning in the mountains. had breakfast on the cliffs at nepathe. drove hours along the 1. decided to make a pit stop at the sycamore springs mineral baths for a sunset soak. hung out there then jumped on the 101 towards hollywood. rounded the trip off with taco bell. Im home and tired as all heck. heading to bed and dreaming of my weekend. xo.
