A bookstore

Tonight I decided to visit Borderlands up in the city on Valencia. Wow. It's so nice to see all those books PS Publishing, Gollancz, Tartarus Press, Night Shade, etc. on a bookstore's shelves. I love being able to browse through the physical books rather than dry web site descriptions. I bought more books than I probably should have, but how could I resist? I'll just have to live with an excessively heavy backpack when I fly home this weekend.

After brief forays into the other nearby bookstores, I had dinner at Luna Park, since it was right there. It turned out to be a good choice; I had the grilled tuna, and it was surprisingly yummy.

Tomorrow, I think I'm going to try to get to the SF Symphony at Davies Hall. Does anyone have any recommendations for restaurants convenient to that for pre-concert dining?

Slanted Door is near SF Symphony but it's Vietnamese. But it is the best Vietnamese in the city.

Hey... sorry I missed you. I was hanging out at the store before an 8:00PM showing of "the Hunting of the President" just down the street. I Was there between 6:30 and 7:45. I was the angry looking guy munching on a schwerma.

What time were you there?

I got there about 7:30. I guess you must have been the guy standing in the back room watching while some other guy was fiddling with some laptops. But now that I know what you look like, I'll be sure to say hi if I get back there.
