    The weather Sunday was OK in the morning and I went riding.  My friend Peter and I managed to do Tiburon look pretty quickly before the rain started.  It was lots of fun.  I went home and got cleaned up and then Mr. Poe and I headed over to the ALC kickoff party that was held at the Mezzanine.  I hadn't been there in years.  And certainly never in the daytime or even partially sober.  I saw tons of people I knew.  Here's cute Bill Henry modeling a Mike's Bikes bag they were giving away:

    Mr. Poe coming menacingly close to the "No Admittance" door:

    Kate and Courtney with an "Oral Sex--  Using Your Head" pamphlet.  I was kind of hoping to be discovered by the SFAF and to be the new face of Chlamydia.  I figured it was an easy stepping stone to being featured in a Tom Ford fragrance ad:

    I didn't win anything.  Again.  After we left the party I sent Mr. Poe home and went walking with Miss Smith.  We took Taylor to Vallejo.  I love the view of the Financial District from the Vallejo Steps:

    Adorable!


     
    Then we headed over to Saint Brigid's on Van Ness.  This beautiful church has nearly been torn down a bunch of times.  I don't think it's an active church anymore.  I wish the city would buy it, renovate it, and use it for concerts or exhibitions or something.  It's so pretty!   You can read more about it here:

    Pretty Victorians we saw along the way:

    The view from Lafayette Square:

    The supposedly haunted Atherton House:

    I left Nathan at Polk and Bush and headed down towards Civic Center Muni.  I had to run the gauntlet of extremely aggressive panhandlers.  It was kind of an ick.  I made it home just as it started raining.  We had dinner and I went to bed early.  I was beat!
