Slept in. Midday run: 70 minutes. Weight training: crunch. Brunch: pig and eggs scramble, hash browns, sausage, yogurt, a plum. Sent Phil and Drew my measurements. They leave with Danny tonight for a monthlong vacation to Vietnam and offered to look for some clothes or have some made for me while they are there—so sweet! Went to Folsom Street Fair, was only planning to stay an hour and then go clothes shopping, but Stephen F showed up, also by himself, so we decided to walk the fair together. We met up with his friend Will W after a little bit, and continued through the fair eventually watching it wind down. Stephen wanted to go to all the South of Market bars, and I decided why not? Neither he nor I had been to any of them before (well, I had been to Powerhouse once, but just to pee). We hit The Eagle, Caliente, Powerhouse, and Hole in the Wall. The odd thing was that we didn't do any drinking. I think Stephen just mostly wanted to see what each place was like. The Eagle was packed and had a huge outdoor patio. Caliente had only a dozen or two persons it seemed. It was very dark inside; people were dancing. Powerhouse was packed and seemed smaller than the other places. Dark, but not as dark as Caliente. You could see a lot of smiles inside. Hole in the Wall was the stinkiest. I got Stephen to share an entertaining military story from his past. Briefly met his yoga teacher. Home. Dinner: soup. Processed photos—uploaded only a few so far from Folsom.
