=(
Yesterday Oliver and I went to San Francisco. The plan was to get some new shoes for Oliver, have dinner and then go and see the Ted Leo and the Pharmacists show at Slims. Too bad nothing went exactly as planned.
Oliver and I shopped around downtown SF all afternoon looking to replace his beat up pair of Puma sneakers. We couldn't find anything Oliver really liked and they apparently don't make his current sneaker anymore.
After shopping I decided to take Oliver to my favorite hole in the wall Vietnamese restraunt, Tu Lan. We had delicious shrimp curry fried rice and a bowl with rice noodles, grilled pork and fried imperial rolls.
We then headed over to Slims' and got ready for Ted Leo. We watched the two crappy opening bands. Just after the second band finished, I started to feel really hot and terrible. At first I just thought it was the club, since it was getting more and more crowded. Then I realized I was going to be sick.
I managed to make it to the bathroom and threw up but felt fine afterwards. I thought I would be ok and could make it through the show. Then right before Ted Leo came on the stage, I knew I was going to me sick again. We left the club.
I was so upset I started to cry once we left Slim's. I can't believe how horrible the timing was.
Oliver was very sweet, telling me that he didn't mind leaving since he had already seen Ted Leo play before and that he was probably going to play from his new album, which we both disliked. He said Tu Lan was indeed delicious, possibly the most delicious E. Coli he had ever ingested and that we wouldn't go there again.
Bleh.
I still feel really sad and crappy today. I still can't believe how awful the timing was. I had been looking forward to seeing Ted Leo since February! Ughhhhh. And I can't believe Tulan betrayed me. That place is giving hole in the walls a bad name! Why? Why???
