San Francisco CA
Today was one of the days that we used our newly found ADVENTUROUS spirit. Yesterday we were riding the 38 Geary to pick up some ingredients from a Korean market to make some stuff from a Korean cookbook we got from the Library when we saw a sign that said, "Live Bluegrass Music Sunday". The sign was in front of a place called
Buckshot Restaurant, Bar and Gameroom. It looked interesting riding by so Saturday night we decided that we would return on Sunday after doing a bit of internet research. This isn't something that we would have done before we moved to San Francisco but now we're ADVENTUROUS! We decided to get their a bit early so that we could ensure a seat.
So today we hopped the bus and rode out. It was empty and this alone would have caused us to pause and rethink our plan in the past but not now that we are ADVENTUROUS. We boldly walked in and walked to the back of the place to order food. I ordered the Burger and Donna got the Old Fashioned Breakfast. While the hip looking heavily tattooed young man fired up the kitchen we took our seat at the bar and ordered Bloody Marys. The only other people there were the bartender, the cook, one of the musicians from the blue grass band and his girlfriend. Our Bloody Marys were great and the food was fantastic. There are quite a few other things on the menu that we want to try so we will be going back. We got to talking to the Bar Tender, the Musician's girlfriend and a second bartender while the band set up. It was really fun to have an entire bar and band and kitchen serving the 2 of us. Halfway through the set other people starting coming in but it wasn't near as packed as it should have been. The food was great, the drinks were cheap and the music was great. We will be going back soon. Why don't you join us?
The Devo Mannequin caught my attention right away
They had a ton of bottled beers and 3 beers on tap. The tap beers were Stella, Blue Moon and Sierra Nevada and they were 3 bucks. If that is too expensive for you, you can pick up a Tecate or a Pabst for 2 bucks.
The Gameroom part had shuffle board, pool, a few arcade games (including Tron and Gauntlet 2) and Skee-Ball.
Here is the Skee-Ball which they called Brew Skee-Ball. Get it?
Here is my burger. The fork coming in from the left is connected to Donna's thieving hand!
They also have a sweet Melt The Ice game in the bathroom
Here is a shot of the Tron. It's the first Tron in history to be watched over by an Antelope.
The Blue Grass Band was really great. They played 2 sets.
Part way through the performance the place attracted a few more people. There was even a family of about 6 (with kids and all) that showed up for lunch. Here is one of the kids blasting away big game.
On the way out I snapped a photo of the front door.

That's what we saw today. Wish you coulda been there.

On this day in 2005 we gave our new rotisserie a spin. Ha! See what I did there? The roast was wonderful.
On this day in 2005 we went to the wonderful Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles. It's great! Go there! Now! Go Go GO!
On this day in 2008 we went to our favorite burger joint in The City. Pearl's Burgers serves up great burgers, shakes and fries. They were featured on The Food Network on The Best Thing I Ever Ate. 
I can't wait!

On this day in 2009 We went to Pearls (the one featured on The Food Network) and I had my camera. We enjoyed a great burger, some good fries and a shake. I also took this picture.
On this day in 2004 we went out to lunch as a group for a Co-Workers birthday. This is Mark who was the VP of Point of View Inc. at the time as well as my friend and mentor. Those were good times but the clock doesn't stop and things change. These are good times too so I am lucky to be able to transition from good times to good times.
On this day in 2003 Tony got hot sauce in his eye (I think). If that is what happened it was funny and we all laughed and Tony was fine in the end. If that's not what happened Tony probably had salt in his eye from surfing that morning with me. Oh the good old days......
On this day in 2004 I was in Cabo San Lucas eating Lobster and drinking a beer. It was a very good day.
On this day in 2007 Olaf invited us to his house for a BBQ. It was great fun and I took this great "portrait" of Olaf.
On this day in 2005 we took our new fondue pot for a test spin on our Tiki themed patio. It's a great patio and a great fondue pot. One day we will be back to enjoy it.
On this day in 2004 we were at the Orange County Street Fair. It was the one fair we went to every year in Orange County. It was really cool back then but now that I know cities like San Francisco have one or more of these types of things every weekend it makes me sad that people in Orange County have to wait a year.
On this day in 2003 we were celebrating MiMi's first last day at Point of View. It was fun. These types of pictures aren't the ones where you say wow...... unless you are in them. This was a close knit group of guys working 7 days a week on a project and now they are all spread out over the world. I miss you all.
