Danielle,
I am sorry to report that, no, this is my only time slot. I know it seems crazy but I am balancing a lot of people and activities on this trip, and, really, this was my only window.
So much so that I am seeing a friend later that evening too!
Maybe you'll make it out to SF one day soon?

Are you doing somesuch as well for Portland? Or is your dance card entirely full? Will watch for announcements. Enjoy your travels. Via Michael Ruhlmann (see his fabulous post on the place--http://blog.ruhlman.com/ruhlmancom/2007/03/best_chicken_ev.html) was turned onto Yakitori Totto (W. 40s) Chicken knees-ooh. Careened between there and Momofuku. Heaven or some version of it. Eat well, live well, be well. Ciaooo

Heather!
My dance card is not at all full-- although those classes are back to back... but I will be in PDX for a full 2 weeks! so, yeah, let's plan a get together....I'm game!
But I have to think about one trip at a time.
too much joy: I'm overwhelmed!

Shuna, I totally understand. We'll meet up eventually, I hope. I'll let you know next time I'm in SF.
