Hi PDidddie,
Glad to see you back. Nice pics!
I confess, I DID feel deserted (for about a nano-second) when I came out of the john at 500 Jackson and you were all GONE. The hostess told me though, that before she had a chance to call the cabs, you all saw a couple and hailed them. I then inferred that nobody took a head count in the scramble.
Anyway, it was a fate I richly deserved I'm sure, and after the initial shock, it was pretty darn funny.
Graceful Lola's sorbet trick WAS quite impressive wasn't it?
Who else could have dumped a double-scoop serving without getting a drop on herself or anyone else, and without breaking the long-stemmed glass it was served in?
The waiter, as I recall, said a little prayer of thanksgiving that it wasn't red wine before shutting Lola off.
Please DO tell us about the remainder of your SF visit after the rest of us
had gone.
P.S. Un beso for the lovely Mrs. Diddie.
c.i.
I'm sorry I missed breakfast at Sinbad's --especially after seeing your pic of the 'two eyeballs' (or '34b cups').
It looks like you all had a soft porn breakfast! ( "waiter, I'll have two soft
porn eggs please.")
Osso,
perfect description of the maitre d' at 500 Jackson. He was both
professional AND genuinely friendly.
Diane,
Loved your reminisce and observations about SF.
'A hick from Arizona' eh? 60's SF must have been an extraordinary culture shock for you...........but...
YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY BABY!
PS
I concur, c.i. and Lucy are the greatest.
