Bay Area Jet Setting.

DMB at Shoreline was unbelievable. Un-f*ing-believable.

There's just something about artists completely immersed in what they're creating, totally in their element, surrounded by this incredible energy... and when the song ends and the last chord has been played and the last beat has been drummed, it's like they're shocked back into reality and have to take a moment to find their bearings.

And being there, a part of that, in section 102, so close they actually look human-sized. wow.

So that was an incredible evening. And the weekend was full of eating and chatting and catching up and eating, obviously. I love being in the city, seeing my girls BART and MUNI and walk and get emotionally bombarded by boys and friends and start school and get promoted and take the next steps toward the rest of their lives. It's like I'm proud Mama Ang. haha.

Throw in a couple of extended dates with Jonathan Safran Foer and two memorable (in very different ways) Culver City Bus rides, and you've got a solid weekend.

And top THAT off with Willie and the Snoty fam. :D
