This is San Francisco (and the end of my summer).
Headache
I've been back from SF for a few days now, but didn't really get around to putting the pictures up (or indeed, even looking at them) until now. So here they are. I spoiler'd them in groups, for convenience's sake.
--
Arriving at the Hotel Tomo, which is a remodeled Best Western. I was kind of surprised it's a BW, because it looks a lot better than most.
Spoiler:


The ceiling of the lobby. Everything was going out of its way to be "quirky."


The lobby proper. Yeah, I think that thing is to sit on. And they had Godzilla, Rave Master and some japanese movie playing on those three screens in the background.


Every floor had a giant number at the end of the hall. In case you didn't know where you were.


Nightstand with japanese latern-lamp <3.


The bean bag chair in the corner. Interesting...


Me, wearing the TOMO! robe they provided after a shower.


There were some funny things while driving on the rollercoaster that is SF streets...
Spoiler:


Driving. Yeah.


Gay show. Or for women, I guess...>___>...


Naughty Hotties.


I'm kind of sick that this is their city hall. It looks like our capitol.


The hotel room included two free tickets to the Manga exhibit at the Asian American museum, which was interesting. I mean, to see Osamu Tezuka's manga pages displayed like Picasso o_O.
Spoiler:


The outside, with manga trappings XD.


The Asian-American Museum moved to this building, the former house of the main SF library branch, in 2003.


Astro Boy standup! In retrospect, I should have taken a picture with it.


Pictures weren't allowed in special exhibits .
But they were allowed in the museum's regular exhibits, so this is from the Southeast Asian gallery. I love the way Thai/Indonesian portrayals of females always look like they have massive implants .


After the museum, we went to CHINATOWN. Because no trip to SF is complete without it.
Spoiler:


Gate 'o Chinatown.


The oldest cathedral in California is, oddly enough, right outside of Chinatown.


I've always liked the signs in Chinatown. I mean, WaMu is even in Chinese .


A shot where you can see down to the bay, and even the GG Bridge. Kind of.


LOL engrish.


This statue is a kid playing guitar with a bow.
Of course, a priceless antique being hocked by the fine merchandisers of Chinatown.


More fine examples of artistic merit, this time a number of figures demonstrating sexual techniques and positions. (my dad is pointing at them)
They were in the display window.


Before we left, we ate at the ridiculously overpriced -- but good -- chinese restaurant, The Empress of China. This is the view at night from our table.

--
Then we had a yard sale when we came home, which basically sapped the life out of me. Yeah.
I head back to Austin on Saturday, so...that's all for California, until Christmas.
