San Francisco New Year

Mon, 01 Jan 2007 23:59:59 -800

I rang in the new year with Maddy & Clay this year! I showed up at their
apartment around 19:30 and joined a game in progress. The gamepiece was a
plastic disc with electronics in it; it would display a word and one person in
the group had to describe the phrase while everyone else tried to infer what
the word was. There were six of us playing--Maddy and her sister Christa,
their respective husband/boyfriend, Laura, and myself. Around 22:45 we finally
went all the way around the group before the timer expired; with that, we
headed off towards the Haight-Ashbury to ring in the new year! There were no
buses or trains to be had (Go SFMUNI!) so we walked all the way there, crashing
into a dive bar three minutes to midnight. After exchanging kisses with
various and watching street performers for a while, we caught a bus, went to
Market St., and proceeded into the mission district to rendezvous with Maddy's
friends.
