a San Francisco friday night

The boys and me. A balmy Friday night straight to the 'real' wharf (along the Embarcadero) from work.

Oysters. Vinegar. Cilantro. Fresh, briny juciness. Prongs scooping out the last bits from the shell. Coupled with a subtle white. Watching ships and ferries dock in the Bay.

A few blocks away. Down a velvet carpeted staircase to the basement of a swank 1930's Asian supper club. Blue back lighting. Festive cocktails. Wasabi vodka. Ginger mojitos. Steaming pork buns. Smoky pineapple ribs. Licking glaze off our fingers. Clinking glasses. Live jazz with a smoking B3 Hammond and skilled drums. The glow of red meshed with the blur of drink... the magic of musical notes pulsing throughout.

A perfect Friday night.

A note on lists: throw in the odd item. Oysters, vinegar, cigarette smoke. Or lions, tigers, and Anglo Saxons. Or eggs, bacon, and bubble bath.

And I hope there was no headache in the morning!
