Brief Weekend Recap:

1. Fenton's Mint Cookies and Cream ice cream with hot fudge is enough to make up for missing Edie Carey at The Epic Arts Center on a Friday night.

2. It can take a person over 2 hours to drive to Sacramento and less then one hour to return and it's all worth it when you go to see Nacho Libre with boys who nearly pee their pants laughing at Jack Black!

3. Stern Grove Festival in San Francisco is fabulous. It's even better when random guys named Nico give you wine, bread and cheese, chips, chocolate, and vegan maple cookies, then ask for you phone number.

4. When a waitress at FLY in San Francisco says, "For $10 you can drink all you want out of that Full Sail keg," you don't just say "yes," you say, "bring it on!!!" and then you drink a lot on a Sunday afternoon. You also tend to send really long text messages to people you know and call random friends in town from Indiana to come hang out. Then, your random friend from Indiana pretends to be your parole officer while calling guys you don't want your friends to date. Upon leaving FLY, the waitress gives you props for lasting so long in the bar and brings you water. It's amazing.

5. Getting up at 5 am to go serve coffee to rich people isn't very fun when you've had a night of "all you can drink for $10 out of that Full Sail keg" at FLY.

6. Sometimes, I get a bit sad about leaving the Bay Area....especially after weekends like this. Please, please, please let me find fun friends like this in Idaho.
