Kate, when do you leave?
And YAY! for Raq and Mal in May!
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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!

Our wings are not tired.
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.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Omigod, Laura, are you thinking about Bay to Breakers? That is SO cool.
Kat and I were kicking the idea around, as well. I figure I really should, you know?

We'll cheer you on from the safety of our living room, which is about three blocks from the course. And greater love hath no man, nor woman either; we usually leave town on B2B weekend, because navigating the City by car is just insane until mid-afternoon.

Oh, and damn, forgot to answer half of Laura's question.
Obviously, getting to the start is dead simple: walk or take one of the eastbound Mission Street buses. Getting back from the Great Highway, also dead simple, although it'll be honkin' crowded: the 5 Fulton eastbound from the end of the course stops half a block from the hotel, on Market.
Or, you know, I can pick you up and take you back to hotel in Ripper.
