A few misc pics from Jan + Feb

A parking sign in the Marina district of SF. Overnight parking: $39.00, hybrids: free. I didn't ask about bike parking, maybe they pay you to park your bike there.

Sunset from the Marina district, that's the Golden Gate bridge in the background past the boats

My roommate Alicia's cat Ellie's paw. Pink + black, just like the Sprokettes and Show Me the Pink.

The Purple Folding Steer Horn Bike

I ordered some horns from EBay and affixed them to Greg's folding bike... here's what it looks like with those, plus bowling pin valve caps, a red bell pepper bell, and streamers:

• Attractions: OMSI, 3D Photography Center, Avalon Wonderland, Bullseye Glass Co. tour, School of Rock show (playing the best of the NW at the Wonder Ballroom)
  
• Bars: the Bye and Bye (vegan bar), Ground Kontrol (bar-arcade)
  
• Outdoor stuff: the Eastmoreland Rhododendron Garden, Mt. Tabor, the walk across the Hawthorne bridge
• Misc: Voodoo Doughnut, Foodfight (and Herbivore), game night
  

Things we didn't get to:

• The movie theater/breweries, Mt. Hood, Portland Rock Gym, Ya Hala, Forest Park, the Columbia gorge, the art museum, Portlandia
