December 15, 2005Karaoke, Yellow Fever, and Golden Gate Park
We've got our shots. San Francisco, CA por Susana       The first thing we did upon arriving in San Francisco with Jon and Nicole was to head out to Encore Karaoke Bar (1550 California at Polk) owned by old friends Chris and Mark, the couple who shared their home with us for the next couple days. The favorites of the evening? "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner, "Clementine" and dozens of Christmas songs sung by the staff in the wee hours after the clientele had dwindled off. Next, we returned to the house, conveniently located at the center of town, near the panhandle of Golden Gate Park, and played music until it was time for Josh and me to set off at sunrise to wait in line at Adult Immunization Clinic of the San Francisco Department of Public Health. (Highly recommended! They don't charge for office visits and their vaccines are reasonably priced. Just get there early if you don't have an appointment.) There, after a much shorter wait than we had been prepared for, we had a delightful two hours with our lovely nurse. We got the lowdown on all the major afflictions of the South American continent in addition to our Yellow Fever, Hepatitis and Typhoid injections. Next, we ventured to Berkeley so Josh could interview Associate Professor of East Asian Languages and Literature, Andrew Jones. He, Josh, and Miliou, his Welsh Terrier spent the afternoon listening to and discussing Pre-revolutionary Chinese recorded song. Check back on our podcast page at a later date for this recording.
