Thanks all!
I went to SF but along the way two cars kinda crashed into each-other and spun out right next to my roomies and I at the street corner. pretty crazy stuff. We had to wait for the cops to show up to give them our testimony of what went down, then we hopped on the metro and went to the City.
Found a Chinese food place, but didn't have dim sum, had some yummy Chinese food and even JELLY FISH which was pretty good, tho spicy.
My roomie got me this sweet hat from a knick-knack chinese thrift store:
All in all it was a pretty eventful birthday, not too shabby.
