I’ve been spending some time in San Francisco where the music venues are so much easier to get to and shows seem to start before the listed show time. I’d like to give a special shout out to The Fillmore which still gives out apples (not a cheap commodity in this town). It’s been lovely but I’m looking forward to returning home and visiting the Hotel Cafe multiple times next week. Here’s what else I’m thinking:
