Yay, back to my normal pattern of weekend updates on a Tuesday, heh.

This weekend was a good one, with a nice balance of busy social and chill relaxation time… and a lot of it amusingly mostly facilitated by social sites online.

On Friday, I headed over to Oxygen Bar (albeit, a bit late) to attend the opening night of the fotO2 show, including photos by my talented SFlickr friends John Curley, Rita Harowitz, Deb Lattimore, Will Luo and Gail Williams. It’s always great to see tangible photographs of the people whose photos I enjoy so much online. Definitely go check the photos out, they will be on display through the last week of this month.

Andy, Lloyd and Julia met up with me afterwards, and we headed over to Medjool to meet Jesse, in reponse to his Dodgeball earlier in the evening (yay dodgeball, again). We wanted to have celebratory drinks to welcome Julia to CA, so we all headed over to Mission Bar to hang out and enjoy a few beverages. MJ and Sergio responded in kind to our dodgeballs and joined us as well. Good people, good times.

Saturday, Jason and I attended the >play Conference at UC Berkeley, thanks to the generosity of a free pass from Scott. It was cool to check it out, and the networking is always cool, but we just were not feelin’ the conference because it was business-centric. We understood it was being hosted by the business school, yet it was advertised as being focused more on the creative side. Jas and I cut out a bit early, he to wander around Berkeley for a bit, and I to go prepare for the JFBCF fundraiser.

The fundraiser went superbly well (photos forthcoming). Great turnout, and we surpassed the amount of money that we raised last year! Again, many thanks to those of you who attended and/or donated to the cause. We are certainly making a difference in the lives of those who are living with brain cancer, for UCSF is the premier facility for brain cancer research. If you would still like to donate, please contact me for details to send donations directly to the foundation.

Stopped by a few places in The Richmond before going home, responding to yet again more dodgeballs, heh…

Sunday, Jason and I pretty much stayed in all day… the weather was pretty conducive to hermit-like behavior. I made a bunch more Squared Circle buttons and puttered around the house for most of the day… and even took another shot at highlighting my hair yet again. After sunset, we wandered out into Noe Valley to walk around and enjoyed a pretty yummy dinner at Hahn’s Hibachi (kimchi egg rolls, yum). We also met a nice neighbor who gave us the skinny on the places to go in the area.

Later that night, I met Andy, Lloyd and Julia for a late night snack at Burgermeister. I tried the tasty pumpkin milkshake while watching Andy devour the biggest burger evar. Always good eats over at the ‘Meister.

I then went back home to cuddle into my down comforter while listening to the first November rain hit my window.
