Bay Area Blogger Meet-up

Courtney, of Pancakes & Postcards, organized a meet-up for San Francisco Bay Area bloggers this past weekend. Most of the bloggers consisted of either running focused blogs or eating; both things I love to do (one more than the other :-P).

Saturday early afternoon, we all gathered at the Sports Basement in the Presidio. Sports Basement was awesome, they provided a great NYC loft style gathering area, food, beer and a 10% discount for shopping; which I took advantage of.

I met a few faces I had stalked on Twitter for some time and a few brand new people. There is such an energy I get from meeting inspiring people.

Saturday also happened to be Fleet Week. During our swapping of stories, we could hear and see the planes in the airshow from our vantage spot in Sports Basement. The urge finally overcame us and we took our meet-up outside to Crissy Field to watch the spectacle. It was a gorgeous day in the city.

The airshow was fantastic. With the boats in the background, the Golden Gate Bridge standing gaurd; just breathtaking. A crazy United/Continetal jumbo jet was even partaking. It flew so low to the bridge. Soon the Blue Angels took the stage and amazed us with their insane manuevers.

I never tire of the city, or my friends, or meeting new friends. San Francisco is really a cornocopia of awesomeness.
