Memorial Weekend

The weekend festivites started early.  John and I took Friday off, woke up at the crack of 11, clean the house a bit then made our way to Shoreline to see NIN and Janes Addiction with some buddies.  Traffic wasn’t so awful and we had time for a a stop in East Palo Alto at a taqueria.  Best burrito I have ever had!   Grabbed some munchies and made it with time to spare.  The line went fast, the only bummers were one small group of people yelling about Jesus and how we were neglecting him by going to the concert.  Then getting to the entrance and told we could not bring blankets.  Seems the bands management frowned on towels and blankets.  Perhaps previous concerts have set them on fire and catapulted to the stage, who knows.  It was annoying and since I was wearing capris, was in for a very cool evening.

The concert was great, the drinks were flowing and everyone had a good time.  We were one of the last to leave but I was impressed by how the staff facilitated everyone getting the hell out of the place.  Saw a helicopter flying overhead with the search light on.  Found out later a cop had left his keys in the car and someone had stolen it.  

Saturday was Commencement and a challenge to work when so tired.  But totally worth it.  Everyone seemed so happy. Henry Rollins was the guest speaker.  Promptly went home afterwards and fell asleep.  Party on!

Sunday John and I went to the Lighthouse at Point Reyes.  It was cold but pretty crowded.  Found out later a coworker was there the same exact time.  It was interesting, windy and cold.  Did I mention windy? We survived the 30 stories of stairs, but it was so challenging, I forgot to take a picture.  As we drove back via San Rafael, we stopped for dinner at an Indian place on 4th street.  Imagine our surprise to see babs and Cj eating there as well!  They had come from the city and decided to stop for dinner there as well.
