Kate, email ND directly. He's going to have to coordinate since I am carless anyway.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!
Heh, Kristin, I just left you a message. OK, I'll email ND now.
For those following events we've decided to do Sunday instead of tonight since folks are on opposite sides of LA and traffic getting around this city on a Friday night is a nightmare.
So, where do we want to meet on Sunday?
Kate, when do you leave?
And YAY! for Raq and Mal in May!
Tuesday morning, Sean.
Kate, insent with time and place for tomorrow...
There was some discussion last night in Natter about the Bay to Breakers Race [link] that takes place 8AM May 21st. Only 12K, so an option for me assuming I don't party until 6am. How far is the intersection of Howard & Main Streets because that is the starting point? Finish is at Great Highway. Since my body will be on east coast time the 8am thing doesn't scare me. Probably crazy, but the decision will be easier if I know how complex it will be to get to the start, and back from the finish.
Omigod, Laura, are you thinking about Bay to Breakers? That is SO cool.
How far is Howard and Main from the hotel, do you mean? Howard is only a block and a half south of the hotel; Main is east by about, what, half a mile? Something about that far. Thing to remember? The bumps. SOMA, where the hotel and the starting point are, are totally flat. The course is very much not flat; you'd be doing at least one hill - Hayes Street - that had Lance Armstrong puffing on his bike when he rode it. Great Highway is 3/4 dead west of my house.
The race usually ends with Footstock, a free concert in the Park for the racers. I seem to recall Green Day playing one of the shows.
Just a note on the Bay to Breakers. Dh and I have joined it at the last minute, just walking and with no registration. Means you don't get to go to the concert - but it is a fun if annoying that the sun comes out only when you go up the Hayes St hill. There are all kinds of people , groups and entertainment along the way. and naked people. but most of the naked people are not the people you were hoping would be naked.
Not to mention things like the entire international loans department of Wells Fargo running as a single entity,chained together at the waist, wearing, oh, say, a gigantic eighteen foot long paper mache coconut over their heads, and loincloths.
