Dolores Park bbq
Haven't been posting much to LJ lately; been updating my facebook status instead. At least I've gotten in touch with some old friends.
My team at work had a barbecue outing the other day, so we spent a few hours on Saturday at Dolores Park. I made the classic mistake of bringing sunblock "in case anybody forgot to bring theirs" but, in the confusion of actually going around getting food set up, forgetting to apply it myself. Thankfully my skin has mostly finished peeling; I don't have to be self-conscious in public this weekend.
But Dolores Park is pretty nice; as the barbecue was winding down, we just paused, and listened to the silence. That's one of the things I usually miss when being in the city. Plus, for all the crowds there, there was still a lot of space on the grass. Since I always seem to head into the mission when I go into the city, I suspect I'll be hanging out there more often.
(I hadn't realized, though, that the Park is unofficially divided into "gay" and "straight" sections; it's actually got subdivided neighborhoods. "Hipster Hill", "Speedo (Point?)", etc).
