Ooooh, Paxton Gate! How had I forgotten about Paxton Gate?

Yeah, you need to see that even more than the Pirate Store. But since they're immediately adjacent that shouldn't be an issue. Animal skeletons dressed in Edwardian finery! Just stay away from the pinned bug displays, and don't open the drawers that say "spiders" on them.

No surprise there, then.

Oh, I went in there the last time we were in SF, and stamped my feet about my budget not stretching to afford the gorgeous critters in Edwardian dresses. I'm just trying to figure out how I had forgotten its existance. It's near Borderland books, right?

Yep. 826 Valencia is the Pirate Store. Next door is Paxton Gate. Borderlands is down a block on the same side. The hat store is in the same vicinity.

Perfect. Last time I went to Borderlands, the nice gothboy working there helped me find 4 or 5 good vampire books that I hadn't read yet. I'm hoping for similar luck this time.

Okay, I've been examining the BART maps, and it does not seem to go all the way down to San Jose, where we'll be staying that weekend. I'm not entirely sure how we're going to be getting up to the party Saturday night, or back down to San Jose, either.

I know there's a 511.org website, but I don't know my sister's exact address, so I don't have enough information to make that site useful at this particular moment.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sean, you'd take CalTrain to BART, or directly up to the city. There's probably also some bus route, but I think most people would just take CalTrain up to the city from SJ.

CalTrain's relatively cheap and runs regularly. I'll try to dig up some info for you.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The only problem with Caltrain is that it doesn't run that late. The last train on Saturdays leaves SF 12:01.

CalTrain schedules from San Jose to San Francisco

These are just local commuter trains, Sean, not Amtrak.
