Ive been in Fog City for a week now, and it flew by really fast. The first generalization I can make is that here you do not need to make plans to do a lot of fun stuff. Without any research or planning Ive been super busy every day. This post will be updated with better grammer and more details as I sort through it all.

Check out my [flickr], [youtube] and [foursquare] for all that good stuff.

Tuesday
|
|
-------
|
|
Free museums - checked out the MoMA and Yerba Bueno. MoMA has 2 floors closed, the main exhibit was
|
|
'how wine became modern' and that was kind of boring. The space feels weirdly curated.
|
|
The top exhibit was all about photography, mostly black-and-white and not very inspirational.
|
|
There was one sound sculpture at the tiny white bridge on the fifth floor that was neat.
|
|
The secondary store on the fifth floor was all local artists, and much more interesting.
|
|
|
|
Yerba Bueno was very cool - just 3 artists galleries and one general exhibition.
|
|
The exhibition was about audiences, but most films were too long for my attention span
|
|
The galleries were all good - one on counterpoint was the best. The video installations were
|
|
enjoyable. The audience clapping one was really scary, and the old guy acting like a mouse was good too.
|
|
Yen explained the beach bum video that came from regression therapy which made it that much better.
|
|
|
|
Yerba Bueno has a beautiful garden too.
|
|
|
|
Took the bus to the presidio to meet with ben, but my phone died so I ended up walking to the Exploratorium.

Fucking awesome. All interactive science exhibits, some trippy as hell most very smile-inducing.

Went to the super-fun tactile dome, and had some tea with tea at the mad hatter party.

Then drove in the back of a small truck to a view of the golden gate bridge by the presidio with some friends.
