A walk through the Haight
End Haight

Last night Eric, Alan and I wanted to see Clap Your Hands Say Yeah at The Independent but they were sold out. So we ended up getting a beer in the Upper Haight. We had a fun night.
After I left the bar, I took a quick stroll through the Haight before catching a cab to my hotel. My first apartment in San Francisco was just a few blocks away from that neighborhood. It brought back a lot of memories.
I saw a bunch of guys clearly strung out on the street. Made me think of the old Velvet Underground song, I’m Just Waiting For the Man. Classic. Hard to believe it was recorded 40 years ago.
This morning I bought the tune from Amazon’s new Mp3 store. Couldn’t be easier.
