We were in San Francisco for 4 days and never saw the Golden Gate Bridge. We didn&#8217;t see Fisherman&#8217;s Wharf, Ghirradelli Square, we didn&#8217;t even see a cable car! We did get to see great friends (though we missed a few of those too), great bands, we ate great food and had a fantastic time &#8230; We even got to tour Facebook HQ &#8230; Well, at least the food court area of HQ. It was so big that it&#8217;s mind boggling. To even attempt to describe it with my 5th grade vocabulary would do it NO justice. Just know that the food was insane, free and plentiful.<\/p>\n<p>The first night we were there, we saw Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings at the Fillmore. HOLY CRAP were they awesome! Sharon Jones has not lost a step post cancer. She was AMAZE-BALLS (as the kids say). I didn&#8217;t have a photo pass, so I didn&#8217;t shoot any photos, but we did see Creedle alum Cheme playing baritone sax and flute with the Dap Kings!<\/p>\n<p>The next night we saw Dan Sartain open for Rocket From The Crypt at the Independent.
