Half order of my usual oatmeal breakfast. Brunch at Citizen Cake with Will, Mike, Kan, Edward, Patrick. Stephen showed up late and did not eat. On the way out we met Will's friends Stacy and Sophia. Will had planned to go to the Asian Art Museum. It was the first free first Sunday, and the line was around the block, so we said no to that. Funk left us to help a friend move furniture and Stacy and Sophia also took off. The rest of us walked to the Fillmore, picking up Sigmund, Eric, and Lee along the way. They wanted to stop at a liquor store, which seemed strange to me. While waiting Will and I observed a man in a wheelchair fall out of his chair while attempting to make it up the sidewalk ramp from the crosswalk. The man did not seem hurt, and bystanders and Will helped him back into his chair. A woman who seemed to know him came by while this was all happening and helped him get to where he was going. I think we walked up the entire Fillmore Jazz Festival—my first time. The music was excellent. Will was trying to find his friend Lisa who had a jewelry booth at the fair, and it took hours but we finally found her in the second-to-last block of the fair. Along the way Will introduced me to Marcus Books where we stopped for a short bit to listen to some great music which included two very young musicians, one playing drums and another playing saxophone. After the fair, we took Muni to Stephen's apartment, where we met Stephen's friend Star and Stephen served nachos and I drank lemonade and everyone else drank margaritas. We looked through a big book that Stephen says he won in a contest, listened to Madonna's latest album and other music, checked out the view from the roof, discovered Stephen's snake scarf. Home. Dinner at home: chicken and white bean soup, dinner roll, Smart Balance Light. Processed photos.
