Thank you for the correct spelling, I'm embarrassed.  

 

TI...good times.

 

You spelled it phonetically.

No harm in that. 

As for Treasure Island, simply the best view of the city.

Things "went on" in the sauna that adjoined the bachelor officer's quarters there. 

At least once.

Though I can neither confirm nor deny.

 

What a great place.

Marin----I'd avoid.

My wife is a native.  We visit 2 or 3 times a year.  Our business also has a client based there.  It's my favorite city....like a mini-walkable NYC with the ethnic neighborhoods packed in.

 

Bills Backers bar in SF is the Northstar Cafe (no food) -- but a great crew of folks if you are there for the game. 

1560 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94133

 

Just around the corner from Northstar is Cafe Trieste -- 601 Vallejo St, San Francisco, CA 94133  Best Latte I have had in a long long time-- with real homemade biscotti

 

We discovered this place about 5 years ago.  Great food.  Its upstairs and hard to find. The Fried Quail is awesome..

960 Grant Ave, San Francisco, CA 94108
 
Last summer we went to City Lights Bookstore (awesome) and then went down the block and had dinner at Caffe' Macaroni --59 Columbus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94111-Sat next to and talked with Orlando Cepeda
 
And a trip is not complete without an Irish Coffee at the BV - the Buena Vista Cafe on the edge of Fisherman's Wharf..2765 Hyde St, San Francisco, CA 94109
 
 
 

 

 

 

Dammit forgot about Irish coffee at the Buena Vista.  Our favorite when the rain, fog and wind was especially hard.  Good call.

"Northstar",  in North Beach I think?  It's a Bills Backer Bar.  I think they have a tribute to John "¡OLE!" Fina there.  I jest... But I think somebody there knows Him?

I was there for the preseason game against the Bengals.  Sent Monty (chapter President) the Bills flag we got with our season tickets.   Its hanging in the bar... Its really a fun crew.  The Northstar doesn't serve food but you can bring in what you want.

Yes thanks for the reservation reminder for IR.  We’ve been members for years and the reservation thing is relatively new.  

 

We have private tastings at Switchback Ridge and Barnett lined up for Saturday.   :thumbsup:

Never heard of them.  But private tastings are the best.  We visit a winery in Sonoma Arrowhead Mountain. They only do private tastings.  The stating room is their dining room table.  We rolled out of there after 5 hours once.  Best time ever!!!

Scoma's on Fisherman's Wharf is good.

Agreed!

 

Plus do the Napa Valley train ride. The best

Pissed off. Probably annoyed at being bullied by JoeBelligerent8PACKAND5TOOMANY SCOOPSOFCREATINE who's currently sending the FO fanmail of his 6 pack to show his deep appreciation.

 

Don't like the posts. Posters come and go. Appreciate the new posters you like and don't pine for the past (not me of course, I'm a godawful poster)

 

Didn't know where to post this and don't have time to find it before I skidaddle: my appeal to uproot the keeper league dynasty:

"Proposition Joe has a proposition for you:

 

Gurley and Zeke have a lot a wear and tear for RBs the days, could break any minute. And they're auction value is going up every year. That auction budget keeper hit is going to cripple you, much like a team approaching cap hell. You need to think about the future of your dysnasty and trade for emerging talent in Dalvin Cook and Kenyan Drake. Cheap young auction talent with no woman beating baggage and even less career carries that destroy the bell cow carriers before it's too late. We Bills fans call this the PROCESS: getting worse to get better. Look at where we are now! All part of the plan.

 

Sleep on it -Fakename3ConsecutiveChampionships-. And don't forget every dynasty needs a process to tear down the team and start fresh. Just look at the Bills on paper if you don't believe me."

 

If he doesn't believe in the process, he's in for a lot of trouble in 5 years.

//to the commissioner that enacted a keeper league rule the year he got Gurley cheap after his sophomore year and Zeke cheap after his court issues. Made the (horrible fantasy concept) to pay for keepers, and enacted the rule that makes them appreciate in value by 3 dollars so he has like $160/$200 dollars of budget not to screw up his #1 and #3 overall steal value running backs. For next year.. 

 

Dirty commissioner. Foul play!

Lack of sleep lol. Ah c'mon, funny fantasy joke that probably will only work after he dominates for the next 5 years. Go JA and all that. To the non Bills fans (not TBD I know they are ALL fans and can express their opinions freely) the process is hilarious.. tbh I DO see it coming to fruition for the Bills.

 

Tho really.. I tried to find a ff football chat. I'll delete and move if and when I see it.

 

Glad to get an early response alone at work.. for the past hour and next hour lol

 

He's also a cowboys and Lakers fan. Loser.
