world class wait

I went to the big ol' city this weekend and it's true it does have things we don't have here in this second tier (or lower) cowtown.  Things like Coit Tower.  I think we need to build one of those.  Perhaps we can finance it with some sort of hotel tax?  

 Here are some neat sculptures that were at the ArtMRKT fair in SF.  The woman who made them, Elisabeth Higgins O'Connor went to Davis.  They were really large scale sculptures of dogs made from cut-up afghans and other found materials.  If one had a large foyer, they would really be a home-decor game-changer.  I could picture a space where they would look great, but I don't have one.

This may not look like much but it's kind of my dream come true.  Manzanilla sherry and marcona almonds.  I got it at Heart in SF.  I also got to eat at Pizzeria Delfina after a loooooonnnngggg wait.  A world-class wait.  The pizza was very good but personally I always find it gratifying to confirm that Masullo's pizza can hold its own against the greats.  The crust at Delfina is lighter, light as a feather, but doesn't have the complex flavor that Masullo's has.  AND you don't have to wait over an hour to get in, which is a big plus in my book.  But Delfina has a dizzying array of antipasti and small plates that I would love to get to know better.

Nar at the Hemlock tore it up.  As did the Mantles, but fuck, were they loud.  My ears are destroyed.
