This is Tom in a skunk costume that Donna knit him. He wasn't very fond of it even though it made him 20% cuter.

One A Day - October 24th
San Francisco CA North Beach 2009
Last week we had the pleasure of showing a friend around town (hint hint). He was at a wedding dinner so Donna and I camped one of our favorite bars, Visuvio in North Beach, quenched our thirst and waited for the dinner party to be over. I really like sitting on the balcony of the bar and taking pictures over the side. In case you didn't notice, I was actually taking a picture of the cool old gas lamp hanging from the ceiling. We wondered if they have to stand on the bar every day to light it.

On this day in 2005 my cousin Stephanie got married to Jimmy (a great guy but I didn't know it at the time). My aunt also cut a mean rug that day.
Happy Anniversary Jimmy and Stephanie!

San Francisco CA The Presidio 2008
This is EJ. He is holding the Popular Science Award for Home Entertainment Innovation. Our game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed won one of the categories. They came out and presented it to us and we clapped and patted each other on the back. This photo also made it into the 2008 LucasFilm yearbook. I am proud of both accomplishments.

What's been going on? October 21st Update
Hey all,
I hope you enjoying the One A Days. I wanted to do an update on what is going on now so the One A Day will have to wait until tomorrow. And besides Apparently I didn't do anything interesting on October 21st over the past 7 years.
We can start with another Critical Mass photo. I have talked about this before. Every last Friday of every month bike riders take over one popular rout and shut down traffic for a few mile ride. They have a point (bikes have as much right to the road as cars) but they also expect extra rights especially on that night.
Donna at a very old China Town Bar. The bar is called Li Po Lounge. We were seeing a friend's band that night.
This is the sound guy at the Li Po Lounge. The venue is lit by about 2 lights. You can see one here.
Here is someone having a beer before the show. This photo also showcases the other light.
An SF sign so you know where you are.
Here is the band Have Special Power (Formerly The Lag). I guess there was one more light on them so that brings us to a total of 3 lights. SF is so green. The Drummer is Chris. He is the friend we went to see. Chris works at Lucas with me.
1/3rd of Have Special Power. Every band needs a base guitarist.
We were worried that Arnold (our governor) was going to shut down state parks so we went to Angel Island. We didn't want to miss it.
We hiked to the highest peak on Angel Island. It was a nice walk. This was taken before we got to the fog.
A shot half way up down into the main bay on Angel Island.
The hike was very nice. Angel Island caught fire about 8 months ago but this part of the trail showed no sign of it.
There are many military buildings on the island. This is a door to one of the buildings that they use as the museum. It was closed for some reason. Maybe Arnold.
Here is one of the buildings there. It appears to be burnt and falling over. We didn't go inside.
This is Ed. I have worked with him for almost all of my time in Video Games. This was taken on his last day at Lucas. He is moving over to Sega.
This is my special Manhattan being made at the Presidio Social Club. We bought Ed drinks here to celebrate his last day.
We went to The Mission District in San Francisco to go to one of my friends photography gallery show. There are many old theaters in The Mission that are closed. I spotted some cool old theater chairs in an alley next to a theater that is being renovated. I wish I could have taken a few for the apartment.
Here is a shot of shoes hanging from power lines in The Mission. I liked they way the shoes lit up from the lights on the street.
Donna and I took the dogs to Tahoe for the weekend. We had a great time. Here we are on a 3 mile hike.
Here is a cool tree we saw on the hike.
There was a dog beach on the lake near where we stayed. The dogs had a great time running around off leash. It has been a while for them. There is really no place safe for them to run off leash in The City.
We went to Tahoe to celebrate both of our birthdays and our 15 year wedding anniversary. here we are drinking our fancy Bloody Marys waiting for our fancy table at fancy Ciera Steak and Chophouse in the Mont Bleu Resort.
Here are our "0n the house" chocolate dipped strawberries on a plate over dry ice. It was very good and a nice surprise.
That's it for now. Enjoy the One A Days until my next big post. Currently I am taking an ILM Photography Class so I am sure I will have photos from that to post shortly.

Hawaiian Gardens CA 2005
This is me at my first final table. I played in The Poorman's (a washed up SoCal DJ from 80s era in the dreadlocks in the back) Poor Tournament. He hosted a tournament at Hawaiian Gardens Casino to promote his beer. I came in 7th. Sorry no bad beat stories here.

Curry House! One of the best places to eat in Irvine and one of the worst places to talk about secret video game stuff (the place is loaded with industry folks). You don't need a special occasion to go to Curry House but we had one this time. It was John's (back right) last day at POV.

On this day in 2008 Donna and I went to The Hyde St. Pier. We saw this warning sign that recommended Jazz Hands if you happened to slip when it is wet. We didn't get to try this technique so let us know if it works.

San Francisco CA Ferry Building 2009
So this is another day where nothing interesting has happened on this day during the last 5 years. Part of this One A Day project will , I hope, encourage me to do something interesting every day. This photo was taken in early October of this year at the Ferry Building. We went to The Blue Bottle Coffee shop and ordered a fancy individual drip coffee. It was good but it took a long time and wasn't worth the wait IOHO (in our humble opinion).

The Fort Mason October Fest! Nothing makes you feel old like a bunch of young single drunks. We thought it would be fun but it ended up being a big drag. This picture will give you the idea. We left at around 2pm and there were young people who had overindulged already sick out front. Did I mention it was a drag (and not the fun kind). Never again....

Big Sandy at The Red Devil Lounge. It was a great show and the venue is only 3 blocks away from where we live. Also this time in 2007 Donna had her job offer for her current job but hadn't started it yet. It was a happy time all around.

I guess nothing interesting has happened on October 12th in the 5 or so years I have been taking pictures almost every day so here is one I took the other night. This is a Swenson's on the corner where I get off of the bus. I am in an ILM Photography class and this was taken on the way home from that class while I was still high on education. Hopefully this class will ensure that I have relevant photos to post next year.
