Thoughts from the Bay

A few quick observations of the Bay Area after moving from New York City.

• You meet people from “the internet” in the grocery store and at parties. Amazing, and something that never happened in NYC. Perhaps more friendships in SF begin on the internet?
• The SF music scene has much less quantity that NYC but makes up for it in quality. ASLI and Public Works are lifesavers in this department.
• Everyone has a side project. Sometimes the side projects have side projects.
• Immediate access to hiking and nature in SF is a big win. Loss of all night public transit & 3AM pizza is a loss.
• A car is a must-have (unfortunately).
• The Bay Area has physical manifestations of internet destinations. Whether it is stumbling on the Color office in Palo Alto or the Rapleaf sign in SF.
