Usual oatmeal breakfast. ImageBuilder and cdrom work all day. I introduced Phil and Drew to La Mediterrannee II (415-431-7210, 288 Noe Street). I had pomegranate chicken, Drew had the daily quiche, and I can't remember what Phil had. Afterwards, we all went to a reading at Books Inc. This was Patrick's first event, which had been arranged before he started his job there. Ian and Greg were there, and I also chatted briefly with Karl. Trebor Healey read from his new erotic poetry collection Sweet Son of Pan. In the Q and A that followed, we learned (among other things) how Trebor got his name (read it backwards). Justin Chin was also supposed to show up, and he did, but only after everyone had already left. Phil and Drew took off, and Patrick had to work until 10. I chatted out front with Aaron afterwards, and he introduced me to Kenny and Steven who happened to pass on the sidewalk.
