Hmm, I May Have Been Wrong

Ok, so I know I said San Francisco is my favourite city, but I'm starting to reconsider the statement, after going to the Experience Music Project today.

This place is amazing. There's a whole section devoted to the development of hip hop music, full of rare records, costumes worn by Run DMC, old street posters advertising block parties that Grand Master Flash was playing at - and they're all hand drawn! Something funny was that girls were always allowed into the gigs for a less than guys.

Then there's a room where you can watch and listen to artists talk about different types of music (pre-recorded). It covers SO many genres - could easily take a day off just to listen to all these people.

And the best bit, is the Jimi Hendrix section. Hendrix was actually from Seattle and there's the largest collection of his memoriabilia here. There was heaps of letters he'd written back to his Dad, when he had just started out. They had napkins and hotel paper Hendrix had written lyrics on, as well as his drawings, clothes and artwork as a kid.

After that, we went to the Science Fiction Museum. This is whats featured in the pic. Pity we couldn't take any photos at either place. But here, there were costumes from Star Trek, Wizard of Oz, Batman and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, amongst a lot more.

Overall - a very good day!
