So I visited San Francisco recently. As recently as last week. I had some fun there. Let me tell you about one place that I went that I found to be awesome.

There’s a speakeasy there called Bourbon and Branch. It has all this potential. It could have been totally stupid, but also totally awesome. It turned out to be awesome. You have to go to the website and make a reservation for this bar. You then get the password, which you use when you show up at the door and ring the buzzer. Then, you are led though this amazingly dark space to your tiny table and given your enormous cocktail menu. This is the most adult thing you’ve ever done: you may someday feel older, but you will never feel more mature.

Anyway, everything there is not totally lame, it is totally awesome, especially the drinks. Take your significant other there and impress them by knowing the password to get in. Then get them totally plastered.

Order the cucumber gin gimlet. That’s also awesome.

A place on the Oregon Coast:

The trip is going well. We flew into a rainy northwestern city and drove down the coasts of two rainy northwestern states. The rain didn’t bother us. We eventually arrived in the northern part of sunny western state, where it didn’t rain. We saw a lot of ocean and rocks in that ocean. It turns out that everything is falling into the ocean, very slowly.
