San Fran is great.  I think I am going for a work thing there in May (could be a different date, I can't remember).  already warned michigancat to warm up whatever they warm up.

In quincy, IL at in-law's house.  Pro tip: don't go to quincy unless you have to.  Tomorrow I will be in chicago and all this shame will be washed away.

Minny is great. Go to Brits and play bocce ball on the roof. Great place to booze.

SD - Anywhere in the gaslamp district. Coronado is also elite.

yeah, minneapolis is kind of underrated as a fun town.

ben ji, confirmed on the boobie bar entry.  it's called a cabaret on the outside like it's some kind of non-boobie bar.  nope, just your usual boobie bar.

I don't know why RD would choose SC over SF in September, I really don't. (assuming company pays)

Just found mouse crap on one of the beds in the basement where I'm sleeping.  What is that disease that is in mice crap and how will I know if I have it?
