Laura - my "official list" is at home, but I will get you on there. We are still within my current ticket total, so it is cool.
Steph - did you get the e-mail I sent you regarding baseball?
Aimee - no way you/Joe/Em can make the game? You sure?
Again, we can keep this fluid until the last moment - as much as possible. Since it is the bay rivals, there is the possibility/probability it will eventually sell out - but often when they say that, they don't really mean it - plus I have a few connections.
Anyone gonna be around Thursday night/Friday morning?
Nora, I live eight minutes walk from Clement Street; Asian markets, restaurant and dim sum all the livelong day, every day.
awesome, Deb- I am SO rising and shining in that neighborhood during the week.
Nora - I'm sure it will be a x-post, but yes, you can get din sum during the week. The only drawback is that some places don't run the carts during the week and you have to order off the menu but I'm sure there are places that have carts all the time.
Suzi, our favourite thing is to walk over to Clement, hit one of the nine or ten dim sum places, and grab a bag to go. That way, we can browse the outdoor sale carts at Green Apple Books while we munch.
When is this taking place?
Nothing's ever been formally decided, but Saturday midday most likely. Options are Haight Street, eventually working our way down and either bussing or driving to Hayes Valley and ending up at Dark Garden (possibly with post-corsetry nibbles at Citizen Cake or cocktails at Absinthe), or Valencia Street (including the pirate supply store), again eventually hopping across Market to Dark Garden.
Haight Street is close to both Chez Zmayhem and Grabien, has plenty of thrifty thrift, fun trashy lingerie shops, a discount fabric shop, some fancy boho chic clothes, and two high-end museum-quality gorgeous vintage emporia. Valencia Street has plenty of thrifty thrift, some fun trash, no high-end vintage, a hairless cat, a wonderful hat store, Good Vibrations (with the vintage vibrator museum) and pirates.
In both areas, some places are open by ten, most open at eleven, and everything's going full-steam by 12. I'm up for whatever the majority preference is.
IME, it's better to do dim sum on weekends (when they're busy), because otherwise you risk the same food going around on the carts for hours on end.
