Black and White Adventure

This collection of black and whites comes from an excursion I had last week Tuesday with some friends and soon-to-be brother-in-law.

Our adventure kicked off with frosties at Schroder’s, followed by even more frosties at Red’s Java Hut along the Embarcadero.

We then strolled over to the ballpark to sip $8.50 frosties and watch the Giants play the Padres. Being as it was Filipino heritage night, WBC Lightweight Champion Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao threw out the first pitch -- love that guy. I’m definitely going to try and watch the fight against Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton this Saturday.

The game was quite eventful as Giants shortstop Edgar Renteria hit a grand slam off 2007 Cy Young winner Jake Peavy in the fourth, leading the Giants to an 8-3 victory. The crowd was hype, indeed.

After the game, we checked out two of the bars surrounding the park, but that scene got old quick, so we ventured off into the night, lurking aimlessly through SOMA, snapping pictures incessantly -- or I was anyway, eventually ending up on Eddy and Powell streets where we all split and went our separate ways.

I didn’t get home until close to 1:00a.m. I then had to turn around get up for work at 6:00a.m. I don’t even need to describe the feeling as I’m sure you’ve all been there plenty of times.

Enjoy the photos, and, more importantly, remember to wash your hands thoroughly and often. That damn Swine Flu is spreading like wildfire. I'm already seeing people here in S.F. sporting masks.
