One of my favorite things in the Bay Area is “Instant Band Night,” where musicians randomly get assigned to be in a “band” together. They have 5 minutes to plan what to play, and then they immediately go on stage and play a 5 minute song. It is incredible and beautiful and vulnerable. I always have a blast.

You also have to come up with a band name, and a randomly selected band artist has 5 minutes (while you are performing) to draw the poster.

I try to do it as often as I can, but it is a bit of a jaunt by BART. This is the only (small) downside.

Doc and I went to a fancy dinner in North Beach recently for date night. It was really nice, and we also got to see the places in the area we rarely get to (because they are in North Beach, alas). We perused Al’s Attire and checked out the Fishtank Gallery with its art vending machine.

The game of magical mayhem!

We were playing board games (Dune, Wiz-War, Cosmic Encounter, etc etc) a LOT for a while there. It petered out during the pandemic and we never really got back into it. Recently, though, I played a game of Wiz-War and I remembered how much I love that game.

We really have to start doing the regular board games again. And I have to paint the wizard minis. Embarrassing I hadn’t done that yet.
