Swanky

The Disney Family Museum was pretty incredible. They have some amazing stuff there. Oscars, Presidential Medal of Freedom, the first known drawings of Mickey Mouse, a torch from the 1960 Winter Olympics, and more wonderfulness. We spent almost four hours in there and there were still some things that I would have liked to seen more of. But I loves me some Disney and also enjoys me some history. So the two came together there in a beautiful stew of joy and scrumptious learning. It was also good that we went to a soft opening because it wasn't crazy crowded. Just the purest of the Disney nuts. It only took us about an hour to get there from our house, but it took 2 and a half hours to get home due to a major backup from Van Ness to the Bay Bridge. From when we turned left off Van Ness until we hit the bridge was about 1 1/2 hours of mindless sitting in traffic. Not really super fun to do. But we made it home by 8, just barely.

Whilst the missus and I were there with her parents, my parents took our youngin's to the Kids Faire. Now with it spelt 'Faire' you just know it's gonna be fun, right? Totally right. They kids got some good pics with Spongebob, Scooby Doo, Curious George, Super Why, a stormtrooper, and a few others. But my parents aren't going back there. Why? Not because of our kids, who were great there. But because the booths there were for dentists, chiropracters, and a couple for pleasure parties, and one called "Swanky Moms" where they dress like hookers. I'm not making that one up. According to my mom, they should have called it "Skanky Moms".

And today my van is in the shop at the dealership because the ABS isn't working properly, and apparently they're the only people who can repair this system because it's the computer and not the actual hardware of the van.

But back on the bright side. Only two more games of Fall Ball, and tomorow is the WPA concert! I also just found out that Mike Birbiglia is coming to SF next month, but it's $28 a ticket plus a $10 'convienence' fee. So I'm not paying $40 a ticket to see him, he's hilarious, but seriously, these tickets for the WPA concert were $15 a piece. I don't know who decides how much things should be, but I want that job.
