Eventful weekend and more..

Boy, this was a great weekend, despite the constant rain. Friday, couple of my friends (including some fellow bloggers) headed out to Palo Alto for drinks and a bit of dancing. Had a blast at a cool college-y hangout, $5 cover and decent drinks.

Saturday brought some more rain, which meant more episodes of Coupling (now I am really getting addicted). To end the evening, we tried an Ertitrean restuarant called "New Eritrea" in SFO. Modest place, but great food, and really friendly people (they patiently answered my ignorant questions like : where in the world is Eritrea??). The food was really good. The Injera bread reminded me of food back home (some coincidence, considering Eritrea and my hometown are thousand of miles away [EDIT] from each other).

Sunday, we headed out to the Bay Area Unites for Tsunami concert. The concert was really cool, featured Lisa Loeb (remember her hit -Stay??), and others. I just wish the organizers had done a better job with the stage production. Lisa Loeb actually had a mic/sound problem and had to stop in middle of a song. Comon.... its Bay area people, its not like we are short of technology here!! But overall a great production for a worthy cause,... Tim Draper (of VC firm Draper, Fisher and Jurvetson) was a guest speaker who made a notable $500k donation and encouraged everyone to contribute so that the total could reach $5 MM.

My weekend continues.. Tomorrow is a holiday too. Happy Presidents day!!!
