Excerpted from elsewhere but really just a reminder, JASON

Friday, we went to the library and I picked my first tomato and I rode over to Crab Cove for the last summer concert there, it was a Beatles cover band and they rocked it out. Then we met up with Jason and George for what I thought was drinks but turned out to be this ginormous pre-wedding party for some people we don't know at Everett & Jones and there was free sausage mmmmmm. Then we took G & J to Heinold's because you have to go there if you are in Jack London Square in Oakland and are either visiting or have never been. You should read its history and then come visit. Also of interest is one half of Jack London's cabin, which was brought from Alaska, where the other half was left, and sits next to Heinold's. It all adds educational and historical value to your drinking binge, because that's how we do things here in Oakland.

Oh, I forgot the best part about Heinold's which is this ridiculous conversation we were having about evolution and whether we're really losing our little toes or not that somehow turned into having our little toes surgically removed then attached to side of our hand for purely cosmetic reasons, to have a place to put your pinky toe ring and it would be called -- I think it was? -- the bling finger, and Jason's supposed to draw a picture of it. I'm sure you had to be there, but I was laughing so hard I was almost crying.
