Fantastic. I just typed like an hour trip report, and when I went to submit it, the FORM WAS NO LONGER VALID, deleting my entire fking post.

Anyway, cliff notes: My first trip to SF was fking awesome of course, and when I get my fking digital pics loaded, I may post them in here. Thanks EDGD for all the great advice!

(I'm seriously pissed, I can't believe it deleted my whole fking write-up).

My friend is having a party since he is leaving work. After dinner they are going to: Bourbon and Branch Has anyone been here? it sounds really weird and awesome at the same time.

Okay so my family's home is in Palo Alto and we also have a condo up in SF, so I know quite a bit about the place. You guys know an incredible amount about the food up there, I am amazed.

But anyway -

1. Anywhere to play live poker besides Jackson? Will I def get carded at Bay 101/Lucky Chances? I'm 20 by the way. Don't have to wait too long I guess.

2. Anywhere to get Jet Skiing? I love jet skiing and I know I can do it at Lake Berryessa and Lake Tahoe... but I'm wondering if anyone has been watersporting at either place and might be able to provide a review of some sort. I have only been to Tahoe in the winter.

Alright, well good job with the SF reviews! I now go to school in NY... and I gotta say, NY may be for some people, but I'm definitely more of a San Francisco guy. I love the Bay Area!

Went mountain biking at Saratoga Gap today in Los Altos [south bay/peninsula]. 13 miles, 1800 feet vertical gain, gorgeous mostly single track. For more info find the trail review at www.mtbr.com (AWESOME website)

is mountain biking VERY difficult? it looks hard.. I play many sports (trying to say I'm athletic without sounding stupid), and I think mountain biking would be fun.. but I'm not really looking for an intense workout, you know?

OK if y'all don't mind, I'm going to post pics from my trip earlier this month. If they are too large, or stretch the page out, I will be happy to delete them.

Here are the first few:

Good call. I used to go weekly and Friday's crab enchiladas are great. Chimichangas are terrific the rest of the week, and that little gravy boat of fresh salsa might be the best in the city.
