Social Saturday

Last night Puppy and I went to a part of San Francisco neither of us had ever visited before. It wasn't terribly far away, but it felt like a completely different city altogether. Kind of like being in the suburbs!

We visited Work It and Animatrix to check out the beautiful new home they recently bought and to hear about their remodeling tales. After a tour and a glass of wine, we headed to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Little did we know that it was a sister restaurant to a Castro establishment we've been to - and that they have essentially the same menu! I, of course, went off-diet and indulged in two forms of carbs - mac & cheese and potatoes au gratin. One of these days, I'm going to take my diet seriously.

Afterward, we met up with Periwinkle for a few drinks. After vetoing a bar that was approximately 4 million degrees, we ended up at a karaoke establishment that featured a lovely bubble wall decoration and fake torches that kept going out. Some of the singers were pretty good, but others were ... not. I guess that's to be expected at karaoke and they all had more cojones than I did since they were up on stage singing!

We wrapped up the evening on the back porch of a bar, enjoying the rare warm San Francisco night, then headed home to snooze.
