How great is it it live in the San Francisco Bay Area? Pretty pretty great!
The Plan. Check into the Parc 55 hotel in downtown SF. Have a nice dinner then walk to the Warfield for the Bryan Adams 8pm show.
We arrived at Ron and Marie’s in Pleasanton, then immediately headed to a local bar to start the festivities. Check in wasn’t until 3pm so we did have a little time to kill. Cruised over the bay bridge and into the city right around check in time. Beautiful room on the 26th floor looking out over downtown and Union Square.
Dinner and drinks downstairs at the Cityhouse, then the short 2 block walk to the Warfield. Seats were great. In the balcony but dead center to the stage.
Bryan Adams was GREAT! The name of the tour was the “bare bones” tour, and now I know why. The show consisted of Bryan with his acoustic guitar and harmonica and one other guy on a piano. What a great concert! To see ANYONE at the Warfield is pretty cool considering the history of the place. To see someone we’ve never seen before with our besties (who are huge fans and have seen Bryan many times) made it even more special. After the 3 hour show it was the short walk back to the hotel for a night cap and goodnites.
Next morning was lazy morning. 11am room service breakfast at Ron and Marie’s across the hall. Checked out at noon then did a mini driving tour of the city before we parked in North Beach and walked off breakfast. One quick bloody mary at the North Beach bar before we headed back over the bridge to reality.
Thanks to Marie and Ron for a great GREAT weekend!!
