Miscellaneous

A Week in San Francisco

Post author By dj dragonfly
Post date September 5, 2025

A street in San Francisco. Image licensed CC0 1.0 Universal.

I went to San Francisco this Summer. We were there for a week and spent most of our time at Fisherman’s Wharf, but we did explore other areas too.

Friday

We arrived at night, late, and made our way to a Victorian Queen Anne style Airbnb apartment with two cats, Charlotte and Hazel. We hadn’t eaten yet and were extremely exhausted. We didn’t get to bed until 3 or 4 a.m. Pacific Time.

Saturday

We allowed ourselves to sleep in, but ended up waking up around 8 a.m. Me and a couple members of my party decided to mosey down to one of the coffeeshops nearby for some breakfast and coffee. We found one called CoffeeShop about a block away from our apartment. Most of us got coffee or tea of some sort and we got four pastries to take home and share. We got a ham and cheese croissant, a charcoal salmon and cream cheese croissant, a pan au chocolate, and an amaretto apricot cruffin (croissant muffin). My personal favorites were the salmon croissant and the cruffin, both of which we would order again later in the week.

Hopscotch 2025: Who is Earl Sweatshirt?

Earl Sweatshirt is one of a kind in the hip-hop/rap space as an artist who mixes poetic lyricism with impeccable production into a cocktail of vibes.

On his 2023 project “VOIR DIRE”, he works with legendary producer The Alchemist on 11 songs that culminate in a euphoric 26 minutes of listening potential. Standouts from this project include: “Vin Skully”, “Mancala”(feat. Vince Staples), and “Sirius Blac”. The way that the tracks all melt together on “VOIR DIRE” creates a menagerie of sound that feels both experimental and effortless.
