Things I’ll miss about San Francisco in no order at all…

• Goat Hill Pizza’s neighborhood night. All you can eat pizza and salad every Monday. They come around with all kinds of pizza, “tomato, garlic, and artichoke?” “Suuure, I’ll take one.” The trick is, don’t eat the crusts—you can fit more pizza in your belly.
• The Live105 Surf and Ski report. How many places can you go skiing in Tahoe and surfing in Santa Cruz on the same weekend? I’ve never surfed in my life, but the point is, it’s nice out.
• No weather. It rains some during the winter rainy season. But besides that, it’s so nice here all the time that you don’t even take rain into consideration if you’re planning something outdoors. You can alwasy go outside. Of course, being in California I’ve missed weather too. I like clouds. I like driving in a storm. I like the smell of humidity.
• The drive up 280 to the city in the afternoons. When the fog pours over the hills around the Crystal Springs Reservoir.
• Stern Grove. Even though we only went two times in the two years we lived in San Francisco proper.
• Stupid fun events. Like b2b, urban iditarod, byobw, santacon, and all the other craziness I didn’t do but should have. Anything goes in San Francisco, and I love it.
• Live 105. At least I can listen online.
• Screw it, I’ll just make a big list… Peak’s, Fresca, Savor, Eric’s, Goat Hill, Cha Cha Cha, Baobob, Dragon Bar, Elbo Room, Romolo, Gravity, Warfield, Fillmore, Greek Theater, Citrus Club, corner store at 23rd and Kansas cuz they have 15 flavors of Boone’s Farm, Naan ‘n Curry, Thirsty Bear, Blondies, Bohemia Lounge, the Cellar, Bayside, Mauna Loa, Kookez, Klein’s, Baraka, Aperto, Eliza’s, Kell’s, Bubble Lounge, House of Nan King, Bamboo Hut, Clown Alley, Grub Steak, Medjool, Skylark, The Ramp, Cassanova Lounge, RBar, Bar None, City Tavern, Blue Triangle, Bruno’s, Bus Stop, Hobson’s Choice, Specs, Boom Boom Room, Tosca, Grant and Green, Savvoy, Fiddler’s Green, Fly Bar, Eos, Beatlenut, Rambla, Burger Joint, In-N-Out, Polyester’s, Mel’s Diner, Golden Boy Pizza, Cable Car Pizza, Pizza Orgasmica, Dak Win, La Taqueria, Taqueria San Jose, Taqueria Panchovia, Casa Mexicana, those other burrito places, Beach Chalet, Speedway Meadow, Lindley Meadow, Polo Field, Washington Square, Sweetwater, Sam’s, Guaymas, Spinnaker, Great American Music Hall, Stern Grove, Rikshaw Stop, Frjtz, Moshi Moshi, Hanamaru, Hardy’s, Blue Chalk, Blue Bonnet, Molly’s, Ugly’s, Shooters, Paul and Harvey, Miyake, Pearl’s Burgers…
• The hills and the views.
• Smoke-free bars.
• Liquor in the grocery store. Gotta go to the ABC store in Virginia, and you can’t buy beer after midnight at the grocery stores either.
• Taxis. There aren’t any cabs in Charlottesville. But it’s ok, cuz we’ll live close to downtown hopefully.
• And of course, all our friends. We really like our friends. We will miss our freinds. But we’ll visit for more good times, and hopefully you will visit us on the east coast. I don’t want to get sappy, so I’ll leave it at that.
