Outside Lands 2011: Two Days & A Phish Concert

I landed in San Francisco late into the evening on Thursday.  8, 9 o’clock; I was the last of the four guests to arrive, as we’d come staggered throughout the day.  Paul, Scooter, Andy were all waiting for me at the Elbo Room, which is just down the road from C-man’s apartment.  There was a chill in the air, and I had forgotten my jacket.

I was encouraged to take the BART and I’m glad I took it.  Granted, every subway system pales in comparison to New York’s; but coming from Seattle, the BART is a revelation.  Maybe if we didn’t dick around for the entirety of my life, I wouldn’t be a retired man when Seattle finally has the light rail going to such BART-esque lengths as the Eastside, the U-District, Capitol Hill, and all the rest of the neighborhoods.  But, I digress.

C-man met me on the street when I got off the BART; we walked back to his place so I could drop off my shit and take four shots of whiskey.  Five minutes later, we were in the Elbo Room and I was trying the first of two Moscow Mules.  They were ALL right.  The rest of the night was spent bar-hopping with great precision.  The highlight being:  our good friend Daniel flicking coasters at the bottles of liquor behind the bar after receiving a vodka/soda that wasn’t to his – or, really, anybody’s – liking.  After nearly a dozen, the bartender finally took notice (“Hey, engage me!”) and took the coasters away.
