The United Kingdom Explained

PRdotC — Fri, 06 May 2011 14:21:28 +0000

Last night at Cinco De Mayo we were all discussing how William & Kate are planning a trip to California. Given no royal in their right mind would want to visit LA, they must be planning a trip to SF to see the sights.

It’s exciting, however it became clear after 2 or 3 margaritas there was some confusion understanding of the United Kingdom vs. England vs. London.

I mean, aren’t all these places the same things? Then why do they have different names? We can be such xenophobes. Submitting for your review, ‘The United Kingdom Explained by C. G. P. Grey‘…

I love BYOBW. Steve, Davy, Chrissy & I competed in 2009 with our Toys”R”Us special the ‘Red Rocket.’ I didn’t get a chance to make out there this year, but live the experience with me vicariously though this video from ArtifactProductions…

“Feelin Like a Giant” – Bailey ft. Ashkon is a new SF Giants song. Any orange & black fans should listen up if they haven’t heard it already!

Ross posted a video to YouTube of his flight from San Francisco to San Diego this weekend. He had a special passenger on the plane with him! I’m guess this passenger passed on the salted peanuts…

The first night in the city we spent working on our joweling skills and then headed out to the mission stopping by Delirium & Casanova with Davy.

A little hungover the next day, we started Scott’s bachelor party in style with breakfast at Mama’s. About half way through our wait in the long line of tourists, we had a San Francisco star sighting when Kate Hudson & Lance Armstrong got out of a cab to wait in line as well. It didn’t take them very long to realize the wait was like an hour and a half, so they took off, but it was still crazy to see them.

After breakfast we began the party with indoor skydiving at iFly. Ended up flying for a total of 2 minutes, going about 100 MPH and falling a total of 1.6 miles. Watch the video below to the tune of Pogo by Digitalism.

Geeked up on the high of flying we headed back to the city and walked up Embarcadero over to Pier 39, the wharf and then started drinking on my roof. Davy, Jeff, Amy, Sonya, Chrissy, Kellen and Sean came over and Scott started taking his first shots. It wasn’t long before we were buzzed and off to La Rocca’s. A jager shot and a beer later we we’re off too Maggie McGarrys where everyone started dancing. The jager shots kept coming and Scott kept making funnier and funnier faces.

The next day we got all the tourist stuff done like walking up Lombard, seeing Ghirardelli Square and the Golden Gate. We all forgot to wear sunscreen and ended up paying for it the next couple days with blisters.

We broke in JD’s new place with a house party during the Haight-Ashbury Street Fair. It was my first time to this and it was a lot of fun with DJs on one end, bands on the other. We happened to see this drag queen band singing Jefferson Airplane which was a trip.
