Me About Geo beers

On Friday the 26th I wrote that I had finished work at about 330. I took a train from Redwood City to 16th. I put money on the clipper and then rode to the apartment where my friend gave me a couple of drinks. When she left she took some pictures but just walked around. I sat on the couch and told told her she need a hobby.


I sent a lot of tweets out and people were getting back to me about Geo beers.   We had soup. I remember that the beans and other things had a strange consistency but it was good.


Eventually I turned the lights down and hung out in the bedroom till about 8 o'clock. I had whiskey and saw the roommate. We went back-and-forth between the front and the back of the house. We did dishes until about bedtime. I'm pretty sure I was asleep at 11:30.


The morning of Saturday the 27th I woke up at nine. I spent an hour and she did some stuff to prepare for visitors. A bunch of people arrived around 11. I hung out in the kitchen. Even as some left others were making snacks and they had their time with my friend. Her old classmates showed up as my riding partner and his wife were leaving. We would see each other at the reception.


After this one of the guests had some problems and I had to find batteries for some stuff.  I left about an hour later went to thrift stores to drop off some stuff and then I went to a restaurant. I also went out for coffee before heading over to the party.


I remember that the host poked his head out when I had trouble finding the place. There was plenty of bike parking. My riding partner and several other people that I knew had shown up. I saw minor celebrities and a few people I had met at the host’s previous parties were there also.


We put cute things all over our bikes that were gold colored. And when we were happy with the way our bikes looked we started the ride. I got to know several revelers and one late comer came by just about when we were leaving. At 25th and Harrison we passed two revelers’ home. Unfortunately I was picking up trash and see where they lived. We returned via Valencia and when we got to Shotwell we got off the bikes after we part.


I noted that some Twitter personalities were there. I was able to talk to the host’s people a bit. I sat with my friends and also introduced some people to one another.   The presiding personality showed up just as I was leaving and I missed him and his major pronouncement.


I went to the apartment and sat with my friend on the couch. I spent an hour wtih her and left her when she needed to figured things out. I had had a meal at the party so didn’t need to eat.  However, she had a meal then. I found her later and we had a beer before going to bed.


I woke with a start the morning of the day that I wrote this and lay in bed for an hour after that. Around 1030 my friend and I made plans to eat lunch. The roommate had gone out for a newspaper. I went to the store and got chai tea and coffee beans. I got a coffee for myself. I returned to the apartment and made a meal.


I started writing about an hour later and then we started typing and then we settled into the living room. The roommate and I had coffee and with my friend then and discussed things.  Later we made the place tidy and had dinner. When we were finished I found her in the other end of the apartment singing.

This is an occasional series chronicling my life. This Notebook Analysis series is meant to be contemporaneous piece developed as an agglomeration of my notebook pages. In each of these posts I used my notes to develop my recent thoughts.
