I attended the black belt Aikido tests at Sheilah's dojo, Suginami Aikikai, last night. I had never seen Aikido performed before. It seemed very different from other martial arts in that it consists mostly of rolls, flips, and falls. I didn't see a single kick the whole evening. I've posted my favorite shot from the evening below. The complete flickr set can be found here: here.
The call drops every time I attempt to inform AT&T about how unbelievably terrible their Sam Francisco mobile service is. The customer service agent just requested that I call from a land line, which I don't have. Unbelievable. Fail fail fail.
