San Francisco Night Life

I'd like to introduce you to a tapas bar. Now, if you casually go around telling people you enjoyed a tapas bar, you will be shunned. It apparently, 95% (in biden-esque talk) of the time, sounds like you are saying "topless bar." So be sure to spell it out. t-a-p-a-s

So we went to Cha Cha Cha's on Haight, hippie zone. Wow. I will return here. The food was so good. You simply order several different carribean-based dishes and pass them around, family-style, putting a dab of this or a dab of that on your plate and snarfing it down.
Some guys, of which Tom is a customer, took us & another couple here for dinner and invigorating conversation.

Meet the two gentlemen who took us to dinner: Chris Heller and Larry Grey. Click here for their website. We had a fantastic time. I was encouraged to find two families at our table were homeschooling and had stay at home moms at the helm. They also were church goers. The media would have us believe all of this is out-dated, but I am here to say the traditional family is alive and well.

After dinner, enroute to our motel, Larry drove us at the speed of light down Lombard Street. Understand this is the crookedest street in America. If you're unfamiliar with it, click here.

On one of our other nights in town, we went back to Biscuits N Blues. We always go here when we're in town. This is where we first heard Elvin Bishop and Little Smokey Smothers. And on this night, we were introduced to Michael Burks, pictured to the right. He was pretty good, difficult to hear the lyrics, but great with the crowd. He had great guitar skills and his drummer was out of this world. Who don't love skills? numchuck skills, bowhunting skills

Another night, at Lou's Blues, waterfront, we heard Brad Wilson. I really enjoyed his music and he was great with the crowd, too, very, very personable.

Biscuits N Blues has an excellent dinner menu. Go a little early so your waitress can hear you & eat dinner during the early show. I was introduced to fried macaroni & cheese here and now I'm hooked. (skip arby's version)

Always leave time in the evening for a stroll along the waterfront. I've never felt threatened or endangered in San Francisco, not sure why. Be smart and you'll have a great time.
