So i spent a quick night over in LA staying at hollywood hostels before getting the greyhound to San Francisco. The trip was about 7 hours, luckily most of which i slept. Arriving in a big city where you have no idea where you are and only an address can sometimes be unnerving, add to that you are carrying a shiteload of luggage and you are walking through the local black ghetto and you get an idea of where i was at. I still managed to make it to the hostel alive and well and decided to have a quiet night in watching some videos and sitting on the net. Its definately worth having a laptop when youre on the road, especially if you’re in the states, there are that many free wireless networks its crazy.
So it seems that San Fran is the city of events, i thought melbourne had that title but it must be more to do with sports. I went to the oyster and beer festival which was friggin awesome, and then the next day i went to the best party of my entire life…. yes thats right, ive called it…. the BEST. better even than beerfest…. big call i know. This party was the breakers to bay, for a little more info check this out Bay to Breakers . I woke up with a massive hang over and decided to go down and check it out even though we were an hour late. I wasnt disappointed, 5 minutes after getting there i had my first 6 pack in hand and off i trundeled with over 70,000 other people all in dress ups partying as hard as you can. I really understand why americans are so patriotic now, they really know how to live over here, ok minus the health care system, its pretty easy to see why this place has been number 1 for so long. SO anyway the party, we entered right near the start and i just kept meeting more and more awesome americans, they were dressed up in homer simpons, convicts, never-nudes, nude people on rollerskates, chickens, superheroes, bumblebees, butterflys, referees, you name it it was there…. and a lot of people were nude. People made floats that carried their kegs and every now and then they would have these huge chugging sessions and involve everyone that was nearby. needless to say we only made it halfway through the park and by about 4pm id met a bunch of people that took me back to their place for a kick on party on the side of the street which kept kicking on until 9 when we left for a club where we met this guy who had a mansion on quoit hill overlooking the whole bay where we proceeded to kick on until 10am, yeah it was a big party day….. whoops, but like i said best party day ever!!!
