The nearest I've been to San Fran is to hurtle through the streets upside down playing Driver on my PSONE.
It looks lovely in the movies and on telly.
Did you see Michael Douglas and the chap with the funny nose?

Just got back from a trip to San Francisco to see The Dave Matthews Band. They played The Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View. It's my second time to see them this summer, potential third time in a couple of weeks (haven't decided yet).
I'll spare you the nerd gushing. Suffice to say, I'm a big fan. For those who may not be familiar, their shows can be either a more traditional concert with some extended jams, or they can be huge jam sessions with an occasional album track thrown in every half hour or so.
Sunday's show was the latter. Being someone who has long preferred live over studio, I'm in my element at a DMB show. An added treat was Stanley Jordan joining them on stage for two songs. They were amazing jam-based renditions of Satellite and Lie In Our Graves. Really a treat for those of us who dig that sort of thing.
We also worked in a day of wine purchasing Saturday and a Giants game Friday night. Were in SF a lot anyway (3 - 4 times a year) but this particular trip was scheduled specifically for the DMB show. They didn't disappoint.
