Fear the Beard...or just approach it and say hi

Who would have thought the DAY after the Giants win the World Series, I'd bump into part of the team on the streets of San Francisco. Last night I went out to meet up with a few friends in the Marina and we ran into Brian Wilson at Mas Sake. He didn't have a crazy entourage like I'd think some star players would. He was actually just wandering around by himself with a 40 in a paper bag, saying whatsup and giving out high fives. It was pretty awesome, and Emily was smitten over her "future husband" ;)

This cracks me up. Brian Wilson is rad.

World Series 2010 Champs

Words cannot even express how I feel right now. My city is electric! Fans are raging all over the streets. Complete strangers are embracing each other with tears in their eyes and champagne bottles spraying all over the place. Without question, this is an unforgettable moment, a bonding experience for all of San Francisco.

After 52 years of waiting and putting up with this so called "torture"...here we are, World Series champs! Having been a life long fan and a supporter through the more difficult times, it makes me smile to see everyone around me representing the orange and black. The Giants have really earned this one, and I plan on holding onto this moment wholeheartedly for as long as the after-party continues-- which no doubt will be all winter long!

I love this guy. Now that's a true fan.

My camera broke (temporarily), but I still managed to get a picture of the champagne celebration at Brickyard. I love it!

Aaaand this is the street I live on. Definitely didn't get any sleep that night!

I randomly found Andrew and Kellan dancing on top of a parked Muni. Classic.
