Ok beth,
I know you don't know me, but I just experienced the thrill of our mayor walking down the (plane) aisle. I now understand how you feel. His slickness was carrying a venti starbucks (um, how bout supporting your local sf coffeehouses mr. Mayor?!) And a beatup briefcase. Anyway, I immediately thought of you as I'm an avid reader of your blog.
Happy Thursday!
Lauren

First of all, Lauren, I salute you. This is some awesome reporting. Let's pose some questions and then I'll provide some analysis.
1. I'm curious as to the airline. The Mayor recently sat next to one of my close friends on a Southwest Flight from the California Democratic Convention in LA to SFO. And Gavin, who boarded late, was stuck in the middle seat. I believe in some circles, this is known as the bitch seat. Upon receiving this information, I could barely handle Gavin risking life and limb on Southwest, much less his awkwardly walking the aisle asking, "Is that one open? Could I, just, excuse me...Thanks." So I'll feel better when Lauren tells us this was the first class section of a Singapore Airlines flight around the world.
2. Which begs, where is he going and why?
3. Where's the Mayor sitting? I'll love a row and seat number. Because I don't really see him in the last row listening to everyone pee.
4. Anything to drink? Eat? Is he watching 2 and a Half Men? I need to know. Again, on the flight next to my friend, he ordered a hot tea and ate pretzels.
Thanks to Lauren, we do know quite a bit.
1. Obviously, Gavin looked super hot as Lauren now knows how I feel. See, some of you haters out there may have never felt the electricity that the man gives off in person. He's like one of those people in Cocoon. I think he glows underneath.
2. Always, always with the Venti Starbucks. I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm an American. I love Starbucks.
3. Beat up briefcase?!?!? Wha? Who? WHY? Gavin Newsom is one of the world's best dressed international stylemakers. He's got to know a man's accessories speak volumes about his sartorial compass. I guess he's just such a workaholic that the briefcase, carrying your guesses in the comments, bears the brunt of his commitment to California.
Thank you Lauren! And safe travels to you and the Mayor...

LOL!
Spots! After not tuning in to your blog for quite a while, I felt I had to this morning. I'm down here in L.A. and saw my first Gavin for Lt. Governor commercial and immediately thought of you. mmmm. gots my vote!
I'm glad I'm back!
I know of the glow, too, Beth. In the late 90s, when I was a lowly neighborhood reporter for the San Francisco Independent, I went to a press conference at a housing project. At the press conference, I interviewed then-Supervisor Newsom. [I interviewed him a lot in those days, for obvious reasons]
So anyway, after the press conference, I was walking to my car in the rain with no umbrella, when Newsom pulled up along side and asked me if I wanted a ride to my car. Seriously! Of course I said yes!
I don't remember exactly what we talked about; probably the mold in the housing projects that we just looked at, but I do remember that he smelled so good.
