well, that doesnt mean that i didn't see them. there's just no electronic evidence of the fact. no, i didn't take an iphone photo or a blackberry photo or a droid photo, which i could have to try to save the day. i just left my stupid camera at the hotel. actually, now that i think about it, i should probably just take it out of the backpack and take a photo of the wall or something just to remind myself that i have it. oh well.
soooo i'm staying in japantown here in beautiful san fran. (full disclaimer -- it rained yesterday. and will rain again today. this hasn't had a negative impact on planning, but it has made for some challenging walking. also, i left the auxiliary umbrella at the bar last night. shucks).
we happened to show up during the first day of the first weekend of the cherry blossom festival. effectively, that meant that we couldn't park our car in the lot and had to drive around for a while before i called the hotel and they told us how to bushwack our way to their front entrance.

so the first day there were a ton of people and street vendors and tents and dancing women with fans, but then on the second day it rained and everything got moved inside. good times tho, this hotel is awesome and the neighborhood is nice.
i've been making the rounds of the neighborhoods too. let's see, so far i've seen the richmond district, the mission, noe valley, soma, and the tenderloin. i'll go into details later. i gotta bounce tho, but i'll be in touch. peace!
i found this photo from like bodega or karmaloop or something. good stuff. i wanna say that i know where it came from, but i pulled it forever ago. anyway, enjoy.
