Astonished Head -- In San Francisco

Firstly, though, I want to thank everyone for the kind words and encouragement in my Malaise post below. Your comments and emails have made be realize I'm very grateful to have you guys coming by and reading my b.s. pixels.

Anyway, enough of the crocidile tears and on to what I'd like to refer to as "cool blogging." For the first time, I've crossed the threshold and met a fellow blogger in real life.

This week, Ian Wood, the crazy bastard on the recumbent bike riding down the West Coast, has made it to San Francisco. If you've been up to date in following his adventures this summer, you'd know that he also picked up two Brits along the way. I've been hosting these lovely lads for the past two days and, hopefully, their days of tent squating, entertaining Humbolt County stoners and eating power bars have been vastly improved by my accommodations in Hotel de Shining, entertaining wine/beer boozing San Franciscans and partaking in some tasty grub.

Ian, as well as his new gang, are a class act, and I'm sure that we'll have some stories to tell by the end of the week.

Dude, we were soooooo wasted maaan...bwahahahaha....ah dude, man.
