"It is not an organized field trip," Caydance said to Griff. As customary on the night before her class, they were out to dinner. Both American League West and National League West titles were at stake. Hopes for a Bay Area World Series were on the table. On Monday, September 25, 1989, the place to be was a crowded San Francisco Sports Bar not far from the Marina. On one screen, the A's were playing the Texas Rangers at the Oakland Coliseum. On another screen, the Giants were playing the Dodgers at Dodgers Field. On the monitor near where Caydance and Griff sat, Dave Parker hit a single to the Coliseum right field. "The last time I staged a chartered field trip to an exhibition, things happened on BART; more things happened at the exhibition."

It was the bottom of the 4th; a substantial mound of nachos was on the sports bar table. "Sort of like Raiders Summer Camp in Santa Rosa", Griff commented.

Dave Henderson hit a home run, drove in Parker. "Between tomorrow's class and next week's class, my students can either go to Revealing Conversations at the Richmond Art Center or The Cubist Imprint at SFMOMA. And then in class we'll talk about the impact of Cubism in the early 20th century and the impact of interactive art in the late 20th century. This assignment is a continuation of a heated discussion of computer mediated art in last week's class."
