I've already done more than I did all day yesterday (which was pretty much nothing but puke and go back to bed several times, and then spill nail polish on my rug and wish I had stayed in bed, so it's not a very high bar).

Any moment now I will go shower and get dressed and then head up to Napa for brunch with fun people.

Napa? When I mapped it, it was Suisun City near Fairfield? Is Googlemaps doing me wrong? Or does Napa really run that far East? I'd better go check!!

Not Napa. Napa adjacent. Near Fairfield is correct.

Eta: Also, hooray brunch!

Oh no--sorry, I was shorthanding it, since I am going through Napa on the way home.

I just did a little of that drive yesterday, Perkins, and it was beautiful. Should be great today!

Oh whew!! Thought maybe I was gonna end up in a ditch thanks to Googlemaps while you both met in lovely Napa!

See you at Noon!

We had a big theater on our high school campus. The Dead often played there, Metallica recorded their S&M concert, and Styx came through with their Kilroy Was Here concert. I ushered for the Styx and got to see them free.

We also had tons of bands come through the Keystone Berkeley. I know I saw a bunch of bands before they hit it big, but I didn't keep track of names. The only one I specifically recall is INXS (Nanita!!).

I think my first big concert was Beastie Boys and Fishbone. I'd seen Fishbone and others in small bar shows though.

I had no brunch, but S. did make pancakes, and I just did Sara's hair in hot rollers because she wanted to. She's walking all over now, flipping her hair like mad.

I can't tell if the oatmeal bread I just too out of the oven is soft on the bottom because it's oatmeal bread or because it's not cooked through. (The thermometer says it is, but my oven is so wonky and unpredictable these days that I can never tell until I cut into something whether or not it was working. Anyone got a spare $5k lying around so I can redo my kitchen?)
