On 5 November I wrote that my friend made me beef stew and it was delicious. She also gave me whiskey to go. When I was finish we said bye and I got beer on the corner and rode to Dolores Park. I met a guy on the way. When we got to the park I noted that I shared my whiskey with the guys, some of whome had just arrived.
We went up Sanchez and I managed to pass everyone. At Duboce I was in the front. We took Oak and then I took it easy on the panhandle. I saw my pianist acquaintance then and we talked about celebrity. I kept telling him that if he went into ads then he could do radio and eventually he could start doing more music.
I was trying to convince him, as we were making a loop around Pelosi and MLK, to talk to the local twitter sensation that we both read. The guy had a radio show that I thought he would do well on. I also told him not doing ads would get him to the point where he knew enough people. He said that he had also thought about comedy. I suggested talking to a comic I knew.
At the conservatory I parked next to one of the guys’ bikes and suggested to them that they go on a bike ride with me to Marin sometime. One of them introduced me to his coworker - one of which built mouintaing bike trails. I talked with a bunch of regulars as I toured the party.
I saw some of the organizers - they had recently married - and gave another one an umbrella. I then spoke to a programmer I knew about something that was close to my expertise. I spoke to still more regulars and then the ride was leaving.
We went through the dahlias to page and then to Haight street. Near Webster I skipped a few blocks and got lost all by myself on McAllister because I had passed the green flag.
I met the the group at Civic Center and we talked as I finished my beer. I said goodbye to everyone and told several people that I'd see them on Sunday.
