Sunday we spent in SF, primarily for a concert. First we did some shopping. Erin, clearly jealous of my "fly new kicks", bought new shoes of her own, dooming her to carrying her old ones in her purse. Next we visited City Lights, historic paper back bookstore and Beat era publisher. Right down the street was San Francisco Brewing, for beer and dinner. Beer was good, dinner was OK. I'll have to head back to try the "Rainbow Stout", a clever name which took me far too long to get.
Cross town to the Filmore for... probably the least historic concert in a historic venue. 3rd time seeing mc chris, huge crowd, only about 20 there for MC. We got there early, right up to the front. Dead center were a bunch of teeny booper fan girls there for the main act. 2 of the mc fans were a 14 year old and a 6 (!) year old. Even if you're unfamiliar with the music, the attached image should give you a clue. Due to the limited number of geek rap fans there, I actually got a chance to chat with mc beyond the traditional pic of him flipping off the camera. I brought my copy of ATHF:MFFT and he thanked me for watching it. He's headlining a tour in May, maybe I won't have to pay $35+ a ticket to see him if he comes back to the Bay Area. Plus he's on Warped Tour this summer, though the closest that got last year was Fresno.
We left about 45 minutes into Pinback's set. They're not bad, in fact after listening to their myspace free bee tracks I was looking forward to seeing them. For some reason they weren't as good live. Plus a LARGE portion of the crowd was smoking up. You know it's bad when the lead singer asks the crowd to blow the pot smoke to the back of the room, it's affecting his voice. *shrug* We bought the album anyway.
