The San Francisco Twins.

Oy. It’s been a while. The reason it’s been a while is because Will’s getting ready for his move, I’m working and teaching full-time, and we went to San Francisco this weekend.

It was great – the weather was MAGNIFICENT! Like summer. I must say, I fucking love San Francisco. LOVE IT. I wish Gridpoint was headquartered there instead of DC.

But anyway, we’re wandering around Union Square on Saturday night, looking for a place to eat. A cop around the corner suggested The Cheesecake Factory. We said no thanks, we can eat that crap in Seattle. Where do the locals go? So we ended up at this restaurant near the Westin. As we’re crossing the street to get to the place, I see who I now know to be Vivian and Marian Brown coming down the avenue. I do a 180 in the crosswalk, hot on their fake leopard skins, asking if I may take their picture. They were more than happy to oblige. Vivian (on the right) started telling me that she’s the eldest, by eight minutes, thankyouverymuch. She also made sure I knew that Vivian means vivacious. Like I couldn’t tell by her outfit! And then Marian, who was art directing our mini photo shoot, went on to say how she was named Marian after her mother (I think) and that they were “The San Francisco Twins”! And then proceeded to give me a business card. If you could actually call it that. It’s just their names and “The San Francisco Twins” with their contact info on a regular piece of paper, cut into business card size. They both made me promise to send them a print.

Apparently, they’re officially famous. Next time you’re in SF, watch for them! And maybe, rather than just a print, I’ll send them some Moo cards instead.
