Ridin' Segways

| Comments

Anjali turned 25 for the last time this weekend, and there were a lot of activities to celebrate, including a Segway tour of San Francisco:

Riding the Segway on the streets of San Francisco was actually pretty fun. After I figured out what the hell I was doing, of course. The Segway is meant to be a device that uses your natural body movement in order to guide the motion of the machine, but I found it to be counterintuitive in a lot of ways. What I'm trying to say is that I have more respect for those who have fallen off -- I nearly got bucked off of my Segway once.

Today was spent at Stern Grove, catching Delhi 2 Dublin and Kailash Kher. I was pleasantly surprised by Delhi 2 Dublin -- the Irish fiddle always pushes my musical buttons (hence, my love for The Frames), but all in all, Delhi 2 Dublin pulled off the fusion quite well. I'll have to check them out.

Complete gallery from the weekend is here, and a few more bonus pictures after the break.

We took a break mid tour at Washington Square Park, and this little guy was staring us down:

I will say this about going to Stern Grove, the #28 gives a really scenic tour:
