Where's The Beef?

As you can see from the picture to the right and at the bottom of the blog page, there is no lack of tri-tip beef in a Buckhorn "Big Buck". That's what I had for dinner tonight, while visiting the city a hundred miles down the road from Elk Grove - home of the Golden Gate Bridge - San Francisco. So far, my stay has been pleasant. I saw U2 in concert - on the Metreon IMAX screen. I'm not a big fan of Bono and his band. The concert was filmed in Argentina and overall I guess it was alright. The main theme is peace and understanding - all around the world (oh, and don't' forget to buy some U2 tickets along the way - so you don't forget the message). I'm really looking forward to seeing a different concert, also filmed in IMAX - The Rolling Stones (Shine a Light) - it should be much better.

A little earlier I took a shot of the San Francisco skyline - at dusk. It was taken near the Sony Metreon, which happens to be a rather lifeless building right now, after several years of trying to find its identity. What's left is a three story complex that contains a rather meager food court and a few movie theatres. It started off with a somewhat grandiose vision, but Sony has failed miserably in its attempt to capture the public's attention. I wonder how Sony plans to fix the problem? They are going to need to do a complete makeover - and start from scratch - in my opinion.
