First couple of days in San Francisco

Hey guys .. well here we are on our 3rd day here in good ole San Francisco we just had breakfast at the Cafe de la presse across the street from our hotel and its delicious I took a few pics of the place. Yesterday was very productive in that we took a 5 hour tour with www.sanfranshuttletours.com which was great cause we got to see a lot… the only bad thing was that when we did get out and stop to take pictures it was only for 15 minutes or a half hour… it was a basic overview of the area and what to see etc. the tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable.  Day one we met up with Krystyl of krystyl.tv and patrick of lifedoc www.justin.tv/lifedoc and they took us to nanking which was an interesting place in chinatown.  It was the best chinese food Kim and I have ever eaten but…. we didnt get to pick what we ate.. the second we sat down they gave us menus and 2 minutes later they asked if we were new here and we said yes and they took our menus away from us and said well bring you lunch…. so we never got to order but what they did bring us was delicious.  This is a very busy restaurant and they want people in and out.  they brought us what looked to be sesame chicken… some seasoned beef, fried onion cakes, and fried asparagus. it was awesome.  then we headed down to the JTV offices and well.. it was great to meet the crew in person. it was a very awkward QUIET meeting.   once we arrived justin, michael, kyle, emmett all left to go to a meeting. We hung out with phil during office hours and sat down with Norah and Jacob and had a nice conversation. Bill is awesome too just a tad quiet. Mooncricket came down and hung out.. that dude is awesome.. I tell you if he was hangingin jersey with us I can picture us being great friends since we have all the same interests in media. Patrick and Moon both took over office hours on jtv.. while I chatted it up with phil on some Q & A about JTV stuff.  we finally bounced and headed to a bar with patrick and krystyl and had a couple of drinks..    After that we went our own way. Check out some of my photos on flickr  I will upload more sometime soon were off to the Japanese tea garden and alcatraz today who knows what else we will squeeze in.

Jennifer McNamara 1978- 2008

I lost one of my good friends the other day who I worked with daily for the last year and a half. It was such a short amount of time but the way jen is a friend to you it feels like you have known her for 10 years. We shared many walks outside cause she wanted to help me lost weight.
Jen was the type of person no matter how rough of a day she was having or anyone else she had a smile on her face and was always doing whatever she could to cheer me and everyone else up. You couldnt help but just be happy around her.

Im posting the news article on what happend to Jennifer Im also trying to get the tribue that Dan Abrams did for her last night on abrams report.

Rest in Peace Jen
We will all miss you

MSNBC Staffer Killed Leaving Work

An MSNBC technical operations staffer was struck and killed by a garbage truck on Tuesday night after leaving work, where she’d contributed to MSNBC’s primary night coverage. According to the NYDaily News 29-year-old Jennifer McNamara was struck around 2:30amET while crossing the street at West 50th St. and Seventh Ave., just a block from Rockefeller Center.

A co-worker emailed TVNewser, writing, McNamara, “should be recognized and remembered for the wonderful person she was. She will be greatly missed by the Tech Staff.”

The Daily News reports McNamara was from Charlotte, NC which is home to NBC’s affiliate news service, NBC Newschannel. We’re told Dan Abrams will mention McNamara’s passing on his show tonight.
