London to San Francisco

Met up with my mate Editor in Chief of Eric Clapton's Where's Eric Magazine, Tony Edser at London Heathrow. Off we went together to San Fransico. Boarded the flight and after about 10 mins Tony had some champagne in his hand.. Then 3o seconds later, he had poured it on his seat and wityhout knowing this, sat in the seat. He then wonderd why he was soaking wet... Umm, nice one Tony.. It was a very pleasant flight..for a British Airways flight that is!! We were met by a couple of friends of ours Bobby and Calla Fay. They gave us a spin round the city on the way to our hotel. This is Tony's first time in San Francisco.. We passed Candelstick Park on the way into the city. That is where the Beatles played there last live gig (I think). Anyway, it is such a great city it all looked rather nice as we headed down to Fishermans Wharf where we are staying.. After checkinmg in we were joined by other friends, Robert Richards and Dan..

He gave me his CD which I havent yet had a chance to hear, but I am looking forward to hearing it. Really nice evening.. Headed back to the hotel and crashed at about 11pm. Great evening with really nice people....
