Today we distributed over 600 coats during the Allen Temple food drive. After collecting and separating all those coats it was good to finally see them in the hands of the people who need them. Seven of us worked together and for our services we received a shirt, a hat, some other miscellanious items and tickets to the Warriors game tomorrow night. I am already working at the game, but everyone else is pretty excited to go. It is funny how many things one receives when doing service. Sure, you do not make a lot of money, but it seems as if people are more likely to give from their heart. I guess what goes around really does come around.
This last weekend we celebrated Carol's (my roommate) birthday by going out in San Francisco. We ate at a great Indian restaurant called New Dehli Restaurant. The meal was wonderful. As members of JVC we do not often get to go out to eat, much less to a good restaurant. We were going to have a drink at the Starlight Lounge that overlooks San Francisco but as we tried to enter they explained there was a $15 cover, which is way too rich for our blood. We instead went to an Irish bar in which there was a cover band playing 60's Rock 'n' Roll. All in all it was a very good night and on Sunday we actually had cake, so that was cool.
I still have not really been in the Center for the last few days, all my time goes to One Warm Coat. But I suppose this is necessary seeing as Christmas is right around the corner.
