so yeah, it was a very busy weekend here in sf for me. happily it was terrific weather and i had a great time with friends and fam. thankfully i have today, monday, off so i can recup (recoop?). the alice pride breakfast was a highlight and my brief alone time with the mayor was fun. he's always very kid-like and plays with people and the press, so it makes him more human and less of a political-robot. i had some alone time with him because i was outside the breakfast at the registration table and he was waiting to go inside. so we chatted for a while and got our picture taken (although the picture came out terribly).

anyway, i had the infamous newsom/straight-guy/celebratory handshake thing with him. he was complaining about his sunburn from the day before and didn't know why he got burned. i had the same problem from saturday's events, but i realized it was from pink saturday on the hilltop. even though it was foggy and there was no sun, the bright pink material on the ground was making the sun reflect back up on us causing our sunburns. and we weren't wearing sunscreen that morning because there wasn't sun due to all the fog. but we should have anyway. and hence, when i told him about the pink reflection sunburn cause, he did the macho hand-connection thing he does. it'll live in my own political history from now on.
