SFistas! I can't believe we are going to be there in just a few days and I'm so very excited! I'm also clueless about where to go for brunch, so suggestions are requested (all I can think of is the Stinking Rose which is A: way out of the way, I think, and B: not the best place to eat before hopping a 13 hour flight with a 6yo.) David's suggestion for using BART is perfect, so if you can toss out some places downtown on the airport line, we can get there!
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Trudy! I just now realized you left me a VM like three weeks ago! You totally could have stayed with me, except I wasn't home; I was in Tennessee. I wasn't ignoring you; I was just, you know, ignoring my phone.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sox, you can take BART directly from the Airport to the Ferry Building. It's the Embarcadero stop. Which will have a nice, busy Farmer's Market on Sunday plus a view of the Bay. And multiple eating choices there. Plus it's convenient for other people to get there by BART or Muni.
That would be my rec. From there you guys could walk or take the train up to Pier 37 if you were inclined (they do have a nice carousel there), or you could walk up to North Beach (bit of a hike but doable). Or you could take Muni out to the neighborhoods.

I don't know how I missed this from JZ, but I did. The farmer's market sounds great, but I completely agree with the awesomecakes listed below. So, seriously, we can take a cab anywhere, or BART, but I have no way of knowing what's most convenient for everyone. PC, Perkins, Nanita, -t?
So far we have as possibilities:
- Mission: Ti Couz - south SFO brunch places (to be named by persons who are not me) - Farmers' Market on BART line
Should we start talking about times while we figure out places? Do people have services Sunday am? HKF is an early riser no matter where we are (just ask Raq..., eeep), so we're flexible.
Seekrit note to Matilda from HKF: Can't wait to meet you!
There are also some nice brunch places not far south of SFO -- not that I can remember the names of any of them, but Perkins has taken Matilda and me to several and they were both nice and seemed like they'd be accommodating of largeish groups.
(Just trying to expand the options to stuff that might be easier for Perkins; I know she's only a maybe, but if she *could* make it that'd be awesomecakes.)
If in SF, I'd vote for Ti Couz, yummy real French crepes just one block from the 16th and Mission BART station (with the Pork Store Cafe just two doors up in case Ti Couz looks too crowded).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I always prefer BARTable locations, and I like Ti Couz and love the Mission. If there's time, we could even do some of the Mission Tour! I'm free all of Sunday, so I have no time preferences.

Our wings are not tired.
The Ferry Building would be easiest for me, but I'll try to meet you wherever you end up.

Ferry Building has a great view - which is also cool, and it's on BART. (obviously, we'll on showing up wherever is decided... so, keep weighing in)

How many people are planning to gather? Do we know?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm afraid I'm going to need to be a no. I've already got concert plans that night, and I just don't think I'm going to have the bandwidth to do both.
