OCTOBER 31, 2000 // HALLOWEEN

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

The after school program I worked for at a Chinese immersion school called Alice Fong Yu had a Halloween party.  I dressed up like Amelia Earhart. My colleagues were smart, young and interesting. The children there were pleasant. This job was walking distance from my apartment in the Inner Sunset. I liked it. Before work on this day I donated blood and picked up tickets for a Pearl Jam concert I'd purchased on eBay in the lobby of corporate building in the financial district.
