I know its been a while.... busy doesn't even cover it all. My life is just crazy - in a nutshell, it is absolutely nuts. No rhyme or reason - just busy and nuts. But I love it and wouldn't have it any other way.
Anyway...I want to share my mini vacation with you. I wanted to squeeze in a tiny get-away in between jobs. So, I took a road trip up to San Francisco. For about 2 days. Believe it or not, I have NEVER been to San Francisco. Crazy. I know. I have lived in California my entire life and have never been to this great city. Sometimes this fact about myself is embarrassing. But whatever - its not like I don't do any traveling, I just haven't made it to the Bay Area yet - until now.
I absolutely fell in love with San Francisco. It felt like the perfect balance between NYC and LA. Let me explain: All of the great things about NYC and LA come together in SF. In a nutshell - a metropolitan feel with the easiness of California. Obsessed.
I had so many great meals in SF too! Boy oh boy. That city has got the food scene down. All I wanted to do was eat! I seriously had one of the best meals of my entire life up there. It was this cute restaurant called Starbelly in the Castro district. Quality, quality, quality. And not expensive at all - well at least by NYC/LA standards. I had the spaghetti. It was amazing. AMAZING. Warm spicy olives, mushroom soup with duck stock and rice pudding like you've never had before. Oy.....I want that meal again, RIGHT NOW!
It was overall just a great time - short but sweet. And now that I know how easy it is to head up to the Bay, I will definitely be heading back sooner than later.
What a gem that city is!!!!!!!!!
Photos to come.....(I have not had time to download them off my camera yet. Hehe.)
Love you!

I blew it....
....So, I promised to blog more and I didn't. I am going to try really hard this week to get some posts up. I've had a lot to say this week too, just need to take the time to commit it to html.
Not to make excuses, but I get so busy during the week - what with work, play, life. And the weekends? Impossible. It's crazy how I am quickly realizing how busy October is! October is the new August. It seems that every week/weekend, I have something booked. Not a bad thing - just a crazy thing. I am blessed to have so many things to do, but it does make it a little tougher to have a blogging relationship.
Just last week I had two big events at the Hollywood Bowl. I had Sonic Youth/Pavement on Thursday. Sonic Youth blew me away - as per usual. No two shows by that band are ever the same. The never disappoint and I love them.
And on Friday - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. What an amazing show. Now, I'm not gonna lie. It was a major cluster fuck to get to The Bowl on Friday night. I've never seen so many out-of-towners at The Bowl! And since it was a lease event, you couldn't pack a picnic - hence the ridiculously long lines to get a beer. All that said, the show was still amazing. TP&THB's played everything you'd want to hear at a TP&THB's show and then some. The new album, "Mojo" is great too! They played a few tracks off that album.
I've seen Sonic Youth play a dozen times...and I knew it was going to be good. Tom Petty? I had never seen him or his Heartbreakers and I had such a good time. Dancing, singing along and enjoying his stoney banter. I think my favorite performance of the night was, "Don't come around here no more." What a great song to see live.
I am a lucky girl because I live in a city where I get to see Sonic Youth and Tom Petty one weekend and next weekend I get to see Arcade Fire. Blessed!
Anyway....I double promise to be better and you have my word that you will hear from me.
peace and love,
jen
