KEVIN: “I was born here”

By most accounts, Emory SOM has one of the latest spring breaks in any school. Ours was in mid-April, and mine was not particularly eventful. I spent some time with the girlfriend and also some other friends who still live back home.

I frequently forget that San Francisco can be a chilly, windy city, and I was fiercely reminded of this fact during my break. The girlfriend, herself a transplant from LA, wanted to visit our beach. The sight was worse than usual:

I had completely forgotten that we had an oil spill last November, which hasn’t yet been cleaned. We watched children and dogs play in sand-grease for about ten minutes and then left.

This was actually the highlight of my vacation.

I’ve actually been postponing my entry until someone else mentioned the FANTASTIC Kanye West concert that we attended on Sunday night. Although Mr. West hails from “Chi-town,” he was born in “A-town” and made note of it during the show, during his performances of “The Good Life” and “Homecoming.” Ant and Tony were there and I am hoping that they managed to sneak a camera into the show. If any of you readers have a chance to attend one of the tour’s stops, I highly recommend doing so, especially if you like having your senses assaulted by fog, fire, light, and live music.
