Vesuvio Jazz in the Alley - Jesus Diaz Latin Jazz Ensemble

I stayed at work a little bit late trying to finish off some bugs and looking at some more. Weather was gorgeous by the time i finished and decided to walk back home.

I passed through North beach and they had Jazz in the Alley (http://vesuviosf.blogspot.com/) for this month - this month, they featured 'Jesus Diaz Latin Jazz Ensemble'. Very good music, weather and crowd. Check out the video I took while I was there.

Dinner on corporate America

Kaveh, my university roomate (we stayed together maybe 3 years or so) phoned me this evening while I was at work, to tell me that he just arrived in San Francisco for work for a few days.

He was staying in a hotel in the Embarcadero, not too far from my work. I left work to go meet him at Ozumo (the bar and resto at the ground floor of his hotel) for some Sake. I had a Saketini which was a wasabi sake with cucumber infused vodka.

After drinks, we decided to go eat some Persian food (Kaveh is Persian). He likes this place in North Beach - Maykadeh Restaurant (http://www.yelp.com/biz/maykadeh-persian-cuisine-san-francisco ). Food, Wine, Conversation and Company was excellent and best of all, everything was on the tab of Corporate America.

Jazz in the alley in north beach

Yesterday, while walking back from home, I stumbled upon the jazz in the alley event, at vesuvio lane in north beach. Its for the entire summer every second wednesday of the month from 5 - 8. I love my daily walking commute. There's always something happening everytime. In the mornings usually, its lots of Tai Chi and in the evening, plenty of live music in the many bars or park or alleys on my way.
