The post is late, San Fransisco still is great
By Neil Ransom | June 15, 2008
So a few weeks ago I went to San Francisco for an interview weekend with Green Corps an environmental activism group that leads environmental campaigns throughout the US. The weekend interview included public speaking, canvasing, two personal interviews, a mock campaign planning, and a handful of social events. It turns out I did not get a position with Green Corps, but they did refer me for a job with the Fund for Public Interest Research (which I just interviewed with). So I guess the job part of the trip turned out to be successful (if the Fund offers me a job). Either way it was great to meet and mingle with environmental activists who are on the front lines fighting for the environment. I met one gal who organized the campaign to stop New Orleans from privatizing their water. Anyway, it was awesome.
The other great part of the trip was visiting my friend Heber and staying at his place in downtown San Francisco. It was so much fun to be right downtown and to be able to walk to some of the world’s tastiest restaurants (unfortunately I never made it to the Burmese restaurant) or take the BART to fantastic museums and parks. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. I even liked the Amtrak train I took from Sacramento to San Francisco, although the food they offered was less than ideal. And finally to top off the trip I had dinner at my sister-in-law’s house in Sacramento before we all (my brother and his wife) climbed into the car and headed back to Utah.

Hi Neil. Souds like a fine trip.
It was great seeing you guys the other day. Come out an see us next time you are in CA.
BTW - Do you have more info on the campaign to stop New Orleans from privatizing their water? I’d like to think through the argument on that one.
Cheers.
