Hi,

I just had to comment on what happened to you at the end.

Where you clapped your hands together. and the piece of styrofoam landed on your eyebrow.

It was kind of funny. and how you tried to blow it off of it.

Greg.

Fantastic images from a beautiful city! (love that giant bamboo shot) Iv'e never been to the west coast in my life! lol Always wanted to go to SanFran and the Red Wood forest too. Dig the spoken word too! Jack is great.

Catching up on some old vid's I've been out of town the last month.

Cheers,

James

@vasypher Thank you, Alex! Yes, looking at it again there are some places that speak very much to the lyrics.

All the best!

I know the city well. GL Pease is from the Bay Area. He worked in a now gone tobacconist called Drucquer & Sons in Berkley I believe. Cheers.

[Pipepoet]

@GothamCitySmoker Yep, you're right. I actually drove past the place in the Bay Area where he lives -- can't remember the name though. Bit north of Berkeley.

Cheers!

I was there for a week last summer too, during a period of very fine weather in mid-to-late June, I wonder if it was the same time! I brought my tin of Union Square so I could smoke it there haha.

@harjoeric I was in California from late July till mid August, so almost. Hehe, yeah, Union Square ... I thought about that too. I giggled everytime I passed a streetsign with a name from the GLP Fog City Selection.

Oh man and our great friend Jack.

Beautiful city.

I was some time a go in Frisco where i changed trousers with bartender, so i could attend the night club on top floor which required blacks.

Thanks for sharing and bringing sweet memory back, my friend.

@Latakiajens Jack indeed! In fact, the reason for me making this video was actually because I wanted to upload some of his readings for you to hear. Then I remembered the 900+ pictures I took in SF and thought it would be a fitting background.

HAHA! That trousers-story sounds awesome, Jens. Gotta tell me some day.

See you.

As a San Francisco native (and a Giants fan, too!) I really enjoyed your video. We share the same musical tastes. I now live in Los Angeles and really miss San Francisco. Thank you for taking me "home" for a few minutes.

[Pipepoet]

@EveningPipe What are you doing down in Dodgers-land, man?!?! ;D

I'm glad you enjoyed it, mate. SF is wonderful.
