757

Barry Bonds couldn't wait one more night to hit the record breaker? I was only taking the video because I liked the way all the flashes from the cameras in the stands that lit up the stadium and thought a photo wouldn't capture the true effect. Then all of a sudden Barry hits 757 and I tried to follow the ball from the camera lens, lost it, and scrambled to my feet.

Seb had given us the tickets in early july for an august 8 game against the Nationals. Who knew we would be in proximity of Barry making history? And who knew Barry would hit 757 tonight and so ealry in the game. We didn't have the fireworks or the speech or excitement from the night before when hi hit 756 but it was still good to be in the stadium. I thought of Heather straight away after the hit and had to call her. Told her she could have one of our 'i was there' barry bonds 757 home run button from the giants dugout store. She was happy. I hope Barry hits another one for her this friday!

It was the first time i had ever been inside city hall. impressive as any city halls should be. the grand stairs reminded me of the opera house in paris.

Being that the transbay competition design proposals and models from Richard Rogers, SOM and Pelli are being displayed for ONE DAY ONLY at city hall today, hak, aim + i went leave work early to check it out while we had the chance. we ran into klye glenn and david choo who were also at city hall.

It will be a tough decision for the committee to choose the winner and no doubt there will be an onslaught of controversy. if the san franciscans thought the First & Mission project towers by Renzo are too tall, what will they say about these transbay towers, all monstrously shooting towards the sky way above Renzo's building.

Such a shame that Calatrava dropped out primarily because of the inability for agreements regarding, not surprising: $ issues with Boston Properties. i know that most of the people i spoke with was betting on Calatrava to win the competition even before the designs were released yesterday.

On our way...

we went on a much needed holiday in cabo before hak starts his new job. it was nothing but sun, fun and relaxation for a whole week. even though, i wouldn't have mind getting on the BA 284 flight to london. i do miss visiting that city!
