Started laundry. Breakfast at home: two eggs over easy with grilled zucchini, green onions, and parsley; two hash browns; two slices of spelt toast; earth balance spread; 8 ounces of apple juice. Cut my hair, showered. Recharge Spa work for Drew: editing text, small web edits (USCIS). More laundry. Tried to take Muni to the Castro but the next train was about a 30-minute wait, so we drove instead and found a parking space pretty easily on Market Street. Saw Matt Alber give a free, short performance in Jane Warner Plaza with Donna Sachet MCing, part of the Live! in the Castro series. I enjoyed the performance, and it was the first time I had seen him perform dance remixes of his and others' songs. An odd thing about that space was that several times the streetcar pulled through, cutting off about half of the audience. Afterwards we walked in the Castro, had beverages from Harvest Market ($7), then ate an early dinner from the happy hour menu at Wasabi Bistro, Patrick's first time there. Food and service both excellent. $31 after a $6 tip. We drove to Pier 39. Parking was such a mess that we pulled into the first lot available: $30 flat fee. At Aquarium of the Bay we saw the opening performance of Okeanos, a modern, acrobatic dance performance with a dash of environmental education. Micah, an acquaintance of Patrick's from the gym, is one of the performers, and we chatted with him briefly afterwards. Home.
