Beer Strike!

One of the only places to go bowling in the city.  If you're not a serious bowler and want something different to do on a weekday night with your friends, Presdio Bowl is a great place to go.  Located in the beautiful Presidio of San Francisco, they have a good selection of beer, wine and booze, (including Budweiser in bowling pin shaped bottles) as well as all the fried food you could want.

The Presidio is a bit confusing if you've never been there.  However if you can locate the parade ground, the bowling alley is at the very end.

Band!  Or, the beginning of new photos. I just got my new camera this week and I decided to play band paparazzi while Steve, Tiff, Adam and Mark played the recently released, Rock Band.  Here they are on drums, guitar, vocals and bass:

Don't they look great?  I'm thinking they should form a new band called 'The Matterhorns'.  I was able to jump in for every instrument to try it out and I have to say its a pretty fun game.  I can see where this would be a lot more fun with 4 people than just solo though.  Good thing at least 4 people at work know how to rock!

Apparently a big container ship (bigger than the titanic, but smaller than other modern container ships says another article) crashed into one of the Bay Bridge's towers yesterday at 8am.  Now we've got spilled fuel in the bay.

Spilled fuel oil is 'the nastiest stuff around'

The fuel that spilled from a container ship into San Francisco Bay on Wednesday is a "nasty" oil that breaks down slowly, is hard to clean up and could affect marine life for years, environmentalists and oil-spill experts say.

Beau and I took a walk to the Metreon for lunch today, partly to get something new to eat (I almost always get the same thing at Whole Foods every day) and partly to gawk at the line forming around the Playstation store.  Aparently tonight at midnight is when they throw open the doors and the line to be there stretched down the block, twists around, then jumps to the other side of the street!

In the front!

We found the front of the line and found out that these guys have been waiting since yesterday morning.  They were being interviewed on camera and taunted by a man wearing (for some reason) a Nintendo Wii controller costume.

There seemed to be a lot of support for these people though.  Aparently Starbucks was

Burrito man

bringing over coffee for everyone in the morning and while we were walking by, there were two taco trucks pumping out trays of burritos for people in line.  There didn't seem to be money passing hands (and they certainly didn't get out of line to order) so I'm wondering if Sony just bought food and coffee for the first X people in line.  I suppose spending $8 on someone who is about to pay you $600 isn't too bad a deal.

I pulled my nose up from my computer screen today around 5pm and was rewarded by this sunset trying to get my attention outside:

The Capsule Street Fair on Sunday was a success!  We had amazing weather and a great turnout.  The new ringer Ts were a big hit and as always, the Pixipet buttons were a favorite among the old and the young.  Thanks to everyone who showed up to visit us!
