Where Am I?

Hello loyal readers,

If you have been wondering why Painfully Suburban has been painfully update-free this week, the answer is that I have somewhat unexpectedly traveled to Salon HQ in Frisco on highly important business this week (If Salon HQ is like a hornets' nest, I am like a stick poking it, sort of). I was planning to post about all the interesting experiences I've been having (which would give me something to do when I find myself awake at 4 AM due to the time change), but I forgot the cable that connects my camera to the computer, and what kind of blogger would I be if I didn't provide you with the homemade-looking multimedia experience you have come to expect (and hopefully enjoy) from PS? So I am reluctantly putting myself on hiatus for the rest of the week, but my camera is collecting a tonne of fun pictures and my brain is hoarding heaps of future recollections, all of which will allow for some trip recap posts next week. Also, by popular demand, you can look forward to the debut of a new regular feature, Foody Tuesday, next week. In the meantime, please don't abandon me. I beg of you.

Dan, I'm thinking you might be dead now, having said "Frisco" to the wrong person at the wrong time in this fair city of mine...but in the hope that you read Stellaa's advice in time, I will visit your fine blog again next week in expectation of hilarity and, of course, excellent pictures depicting such.
Can I call it SanFran?
or Cisco?

People always want to shorten Elizabeth.
I have never cared for it either.
Sinatra could get away with calling it "Frisco." He's the only one I can think of.
Ouch, I think all hopes of smoothly assimilating were dashed!
Danonymous, what can I say? As our Resident Tastemaker, you are walking a narrow line of credibility. And my Platonicougar crush is wavering as well. Get thee to a bookstore, purchase "Cannery Row," read it. For extra points, throw on a leather vest and cut-off jean shorts and visit Castro Street. You might find something in one of the shop windows for your next (and very crucial I might add) edition of Resident Tastemaker.
As much as I hate it when other people call it Frisco, I think Dan somehow pulls it off. Sort of like how he pulls of an ascot.
Geeze, I really hate not being able to edit my comments. . .

pulls OFF an ascot.
Thanks, Kerry! I appreciate the vote of confidence!
If Kerry says you're okay, you're copacetic in my book as well. The Platonicougar crush is back.
Yeah, it's like when I hear somebody call Saint Louis, "Saint Loooie."
As The Resident Tastemaker I think the idea is to stubbornly call it 'Frisco until you have spread the nickname far and wide and it becomes how the cool people identify the city. Then you can point and laugh at all the curmudgeons that tell you "That's not what we call it."

I await your trip report next week with impatience.
Dan? Where are you Dan? I'm in Frisco waiting for you ;-)
See my post.
