Anything with a strong taste! I'm not a big fan of spicy, since spicy tends to cover up flavors, IMO. Dosn't San Francisco have quite a large Asian population? Being so far inland from the coasts (darn near the midpoint?) Memphis has very few Asians. So I havent had far eastern cuisine in a while; same thing goes for Indian. . . come to think of it, I havent had anything other than barbeque and fried foods for a week. But this isent just about me, this is about trying to apply the principles of extropians to inert sustinence! :-D Since its about complexity, should the food be a combination of several flavors? Making our tastebuds be all they could be. . . strong taste. Hm, and what about food that is good for the body, to increase lifespan? What is on an extropians dinner plate? Sorry if I get longwinded, I get carried away with things sometimes, idea-wise. As for places to eat; I really have no idea. Some non-national-chain would be nice, but not necessary. (I feel like Im dictating. . sorry!) I'll be leaving Memphis around May 4th, with a cross country drive/ride ahead. I think we'll (my mom and I) take a good week to drive slow and take in the sights. I know a trip down through the southwest is almost mandatory. Oo! Maybe we could go through Scottsdale and see the Alcor building! Does anyone have any ideas for places in the midwest/southwest that would be good for inspiring a youngun like me? >We havne't gotten the Bay Area extropians together for a long >time, far too long. Can anyone ask to be anything better than a catalyst? Looking foreward to meeting all of you!! - Tom _________________________________________________________________ MSN Toolbar provides one-click access to Hotmail from any Web page ?

Hi Tom, welcome to the Bay Area - as you will come to know, we don't really live in San Francisco, or San Jose, or Oakland, or ..., we live in the "Bay Area" (abbreviated BA). I was the guy who organized a bicycle ride - 1 person showed up, but I have weird tastes (perhaps even for extropians). Recently we had a movie outing too with a sushi boat bar afterwards. I wonder if you need advice on where to live here, since Bay Area is big, basically there is the Bay itself, then around you have marshes and nature preserves and such, then around that you have cities where most people live, then around that you have mountains, where some people live who want to escape a little from the crowd. North of San Francisco is "new-age", SanFran itself is artsy and cultural, East Bay is cheap (well, relatively-speaking), and South Bay (around Sunnyvale where I live) is geeky, so take your pick :) From the_spoon_maker at hotmail.com Fri Apr 23 18:08:54 2004 From: the_spoon_maker at hotmail.com (Tom's name Here) Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2004 18:08:54 +0000 Subject: [Exi-bay-chat] New to Bay Area Message-ID: >Hi Tom, welcome to the Bay Area - as you will come to know, we don't >really live in San Francisco, or San Jose, or Oakland, or ..., we live >in the "Bay Area" (abbreviated BA). Yes, I had an incorrect idea of what the Bay Area was. I knew where it was geographicly, but failed to properly attribute city lines. (I thought SF streched all around the bay) >Recently we had a movie outing too with a sushi boat >bar afterwards. Neat! >I wonder if you need advice on where to live here, >since Bay Area is big... Thanks for the info. Thankfully I wont have to decide where to live (nor pay the rent!) until at least August, but more likely come then I'll be in a dorm. Until then I'll be living in a rented place with my mom; she hasent yet decided/told me what part of the city we'll be in. -Tom _________________________________________________________________ >From must-see cities to the best beaches, plan a getaway with the Spring Travel Guide! http://special.msn.com/local/springtravel.armx
