Sunday 1/26/2025
Well it was big adventure day. At 10 Joanne and I met in the lobby and walked to the CalTrain station to catch the 10:25 to San Francisco. From the terminus we took a Waymo driverless cab to 7th and Market — that’s where the Waymo insisted on dropping us, apparently it couldn’t go closer to our destination — and walked three blocks to the Orpheum theater. Actually another couple of blocks to a restaurant named Sam’s. Which we had picked more or less at random from the Apple Maps app as (a) convenient, and (b) open on Sunday morning.
In my planning it hadn’t occurred to me that on Sunday morning people go out for brunch. So I expected a restaurant to be uncrowded, in fact it was jammed with happy people having brunch. But there was a table so we had a very nice brunch. With plenty of time to walk back to the Orpheum for the 1pm show. This was Broadway SF’s touring production of Some Like It Hot, a 2022 musical based on the 1959 movie. It was highly polished and professional, amazing scene changes, continuous dancing and singing, very high energy and skill from all performers. Quite fun.
Then we caught another Waymo back to the train, and the 4:25 train home, walked back and got in just in time for supper.
After supper I finished the Val Day video.
