$2 ticket + $1 hotdog = less than a soda at Fenway

We finally attended a $2 Wednesday night game at the Oakland Coliseum and watched the A's beat the Angels. As you can see from the picture, for $2, you get a lot more legroom at a West Coast baseball game than you would at a Sox game.

Liz's rebel yell

Liz decided to make some big changes in her life and started the day by piercing her nose on Haight Street. Here's a nice close-up.























To celebrate, we headed to Ben & Jerry's. Caro, predictably, ordered the dinosaur-themed ice cream flavour (Fossil Fuel). Carolyn loves this picture of herself. I've always thought she'd make a good gameshow hostess, and seeing how effectively she showcased this small, chocolate Tyrannosaurus Rex for the camera only deepened this suspicion.

A day at the beach... a night on the town

Caro, Liz and I drove up to Marin for the day and had a European-style picnic at Stinson Beach complete with cured meats, pesto and fresh bread and cheeses. We also stopped at the Muir Woods to check out the Redwoods. The scenary and weather were beautiful, and we were almost mauled by a large, antlered deer. Unfortunately, the model shots we took of each other are the only existing photographic record of such a lovely day. Vanity and technology can be an entertaining combination. That's Caro and I striking a Gidget-esque pose below.



















Check out the photo below. Contrary to how it might appear, I promise Carolyn was not superimposed into this scene.


















Later in the evening we made ourselves semi-glamourous and journeyed over to the rooftop deck at Medjool, which has suddenly become the trendiest place in San Francisco.
