Hello all! This post was meant for yesterday, but (as you'll soon read about) I was pooped after the craziness of my 22nd birthday/1st year anniversary with PTY. Here is an account of what happened:
11:00pm - 1:00am
PTY came over under the guise of wanting to get boba/pho. Then she made me fetch a scarf which she then proceeded to blindfold me with, and then drove me around town while still blindfolded (Reminds me of my first Jesus Club retreat where Ajuh and I were partners for the blindfold walk). Eventually, we ended up at Connie Dang's apartment in Mountain View where I was pleasantly surprised by Amos, Mikey, Luna, Connie, Paul, and of course PTY. The theme was Green Party (not the political one) so people were wearing all sorts of weird green clothes and eating cake, banberry pie, horchata, wintermelon jello tea, and mochi with green plates/forks/cups. I'm so grateful that I got to see everyone again and I realized just how much I love all my old drawmates.
10:00am - 1:00pm
PTY took me to Muguboka (this SUPER nice Korean BBQ restaurant in SF..I'm thinking about writing a Yelp review because I was that impressed) for some brunch. On the way to SF, since it was raining so much, the freeways were flooded and it was pretty scary hydroplaning and getting splashed like crazy haha. PTL that we made it to the restaurant alive! I'll write a more in depth review of the food on Yelp later, but in short, $13 for Soon Doo Boo + Kalbi + ridiculously good Panchan = heavenly food :)
1:30pm - 2:30pm
Originally we were going to check out the SFMOMA, but since it was too expensive and we didn't have much time, we just checked out this free art gallery neighboring the MOMA. The gallery focused on a work known as the American Qu'ran, displaying the Qu'ran against backdrops of American scenes (wars in the Middle East, 9/11 towers to name a few). We then went to Ghirardelli Square and sipped on delicious hot chocolate while eating our free samples of Ghirardelli chocolate squares :)
3:00pm - 6:00pm
Class @ Stanford. Special note: they gave us free donuts today! Nice birthday surprise haha.
7:30pm - 8:30pm
Dinner @ Sushi Zone. The sushi was pretty good and super filling and although they got my order wrong, my taste buds were still happy and my stomach full too (I'm always skeptical about feeling full after eating a few pieces of sushi, but those little grains of rice go a long way I guess)
9:00pm - 11:30pm
For the latter part of the night we checked out this Jazz Club called Coda which featured live music 6 nights of the week. We got there around 9:00pm since their website said the music starts around 9:00pm, but the show didn't go down until 10:00pm :( We ended up analyzing the decor of the club and commenting on improvements we'd make haha (I secretly want to open up a jazz club someday). The musicians that played ended up NOT really being jazz musicians but rather these electronic funky types that would loop like 2-3 "jazz" chords over and over while a drummer played a hip hop/pop beat on the set. Haha I'm too critical of other musicians so I guess their music wasn't THAT bad, but you can check them out at their myspace here heh.
And that's it! More to come soon!

PIcs or it didn't happen.
haha yea for starting a jazz club!
yeah! jazz club! lol...I mentioned that in my Entrepreneurship class the other day and I ended up talking to my teacher about it after class and he was just saying how it was so hard to get the financials right for a jazz club. Tell me more about the jazz club there! What was good about it? What was bad about it? how was it compared to Steamers? What do you think they did to keep costs down and stuff like that? :D
