Joe visits SF

The day after I returned from SXSW....Joe came to visit us! We took him to the Broken Record - one of our new favorite spots in the not-yet-so-trendy Excelsior District. On our first try, we interrupted the weekly "Trivia Night". Everyone was focused on tallying their answers to random incomplete phrases being read from a microphone (really) and, even stranger, the kitchen was closed! However we returned a few nights later on Joe's request -- he couldn't stop thinking about the sausages.

Afterwards, a regular stop on our tour == Mitchell's.

Joe opted for the exotic UBE flavor. That's purple yam ice cream. Also, we discovered that Mitchell's had remodeled since our last tour -- new marble counter tops and they took away the bankteller-esque high plastic screens. We can't decide if this is an improvement.

Joe didn't care about any of that --but he did like the ice cream. Purple!
