I'm in San Francisco! Or Berkeley, rather. The bay area. I flew in Saturday afternoon, leave Thursday morning, and plan to stuff as much vacation! as I can between the two. So far I have:
* Finished my![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
intobar fic, missed the deadline by half an hour (curse you, time zones!). Fortunately, I've been told there's an upcoming amnesty day.
* Read two books (Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire and Summon the Keeper by Tanya Huff)
* Ate dinner (homemade Indian) with some of my Aunt and Uncle's Nice White Liberal* friends.
* Ate a picnic lunch (campmade Mexican) with a different set of my Aunt and Uncle's Nice White Liberal friends.
* ( Tested out my new camera at Tilden Regional Park (where we had the picnic) )
* Saw an adaption of Friedrich Schiller's Maria Stuart, which was relevant to my interests.
* Ate fancy pizza (NOM)
* The people I've met so far have been a very specific kind of older, active, white, middle class, straight, possessing-of-young-children liberal. No one was geeky, everyone was up on politics and environmental issues and not great with issues of privilege. It was surreal, in an out of place, not speaking the same language kind of way.
Going hiking tomorrow and out to the museums and Japantown Tuesday or Wednesday, my plans aren't firm yet. They'll be excellent, whatever they are.
