san francisco, crazy taxi style
we got to sf hungry, so we stopped at the first indian/pakistani restaurant we saw. damn good food, and cheap.
sara and fluffy hate having their pictures taken, hee
cryptic messages in the decor
everyone suddenly decided it was time to call dad.
on to shopping on valencia street! pictures weren’t allowed inside paxton gate (so you’ll just have to go there yourself). i was afraid to take more than one picture inside 826 valencia, the “pirate store”– i figured the fish theatre would be discreet enough:
i didn’t take any pictures inside good vibrations either, so this picture of fluffy’s ass will just have to do:
we did ham it up in the ADS hat store though.
it is scary how good this hat looks on ken.
(taken by ken)
we even made karl participate (i picked out his hat):
fluffy turns his back on his true nature:
but ken embraces it:
someone in this town is a bigger geek than all of us put together:
coit tower is apparently without an interesting history. it’s just some tower built by some modern-day rich person.
there it is! says ken.
i’m trent reznor! says karl
coit had a lot of windows.
and many windows had coins on the ledge. it is human nature to put money someplace where it can never be used.
now we’re just trying to leave the tower.
on our way back to mtview i took a few pictures out the car windows:
at the sushi restaurant, ken plays with his food:
i take his wasabi beast and raise him a cactuar!

getting there
got picked up for the airport at richard’s house, where i got to finally meet his silkies (rescued from the ucdavis picnic day hatching exhibit):
actually one of those silkies is really a bantam cross.
(more chick pics here, here, and here.)
we flew alaska airlines. i was the only one out of the group to notice that each overhead luggage bin had a poem written on it like so:
(more overhead poems
here, here, here, and here. i think i’m going to make a musical out of them.)
seattle tac art can get kind of weird:
but i liked this one. these are meant to be birds…
and they’re made up of fish!
of course i didn’t notice til they pointed it out to me that we were taking up the entire shuttle bus to the car rental agency:
so the hotel we were staying in was like one of those suite dorm deals. everyone got their own room and there was a common bathroom, kitchen, and living room. not to mention a balcony. the view was great, although this picture is more of my breasts:
the kitchen was suspiciously large. it had two huge refrigerators and cupboards big enough to fit richard inside:
it’s almost some kind of artistic womb symbolism.
we toured some island where i took obsessively large amounts of pictures, mainly of birds: 
we came across some totem poles:
i still can’t tell the difference between ravens and crows, but this guy was photogenic anyways:
we found a small bit of beach:
lost in the “woods”:
statue outside the aquarium, which we didn’t have time to explore:
off the island, local wildlife:
on campus, i found a few quirky things:
black squirrels!
in the women’s bathroom:
someone was really excited about this i guess:
i took a few pictures of people from our group, but not many. the majority were taken before and after a painfully delicious catered dinner our first conference day.
lillian volunteered to pose in the stones for me!
gina and susie!
yeun and gena!
gina ina gena lillian!

back home we go. we stopped at an authentic roadhouse for dinner. chris and i were pleased– the rest? not sure. chris took this for me since it was in the men’s bathroom:
here i am alone in the motel room near the seatac:
maja’s cat awaits her return!
good note to end on.

folsom lake excursion 2!: pictures
so here are the pictures i promised last week or whenever that was. since i took two cameras, these aren’t all of them. i still have a few pictures left on the 35 mm roll, and hey, i still haven’t even gone through all my older 35 mm negatives to see what they look like, and that was from over the winter. so it may be a while before you see my marvelous (i hope) jackrabbit pictures…
the famous mordor caterpillar! i still haven’t looked around to see what these guys actually are. but they were EVERYWHERE. it was actually sort of eerie and i’m sure we stepped on more than a few.
there was a lizard on this rock that i got with the 35mm. we’ll see if it turns out.
looks much cooler in person
we had entertained the notion of going swimming, but i don’t think folsom lake is generally a “swimming” sort of lake. certainly not this area!
i always consider stuff like this my homage to stark or la_magdalena or kalipest from livejournal. it’s not really my style but i love it. i don’t think i really have a style at all. or do i?
