I have a non-local number and the only time I couldn't get anyone to pick up was 9 pm on NYE. I remember y'all being frustrated and having some weird experiences. I don't use cabs much now that I live here, but used them frequently when visiting and don't recall having those sorts of problems. There are also a number of new cab companies in town and they all take credit cards now (due to Super Bowl).
Lee, I also say no car. With cabs and the streetcar and us folks who live here, you should be pretty okay. Not only is parking a bitch, but walking back at night alone from your car to your hotel is probably not the best idea. The Quarter is in many ways the safest hood in town (see above re: tourist-focused) but some criminals are tourist-focused, too.
Yay for the mini-f2f in KC!!
Sooooo are we doing a dinner with amych thing on Sunday in the Mission is that still happening or whatever?
Speaking of San Francisco: what awesome (transportation-adjacent) places should I take my BFF when she and I are there next month? She's never been, and for me it's been a while since I did fun stuff (as opposed to work, or being at a conference all weekend, etc)

Yes, I think so. While I would love to go to Curry Up, P-Cow, I don't think my kids would be as into it. Could we just get some burritos on Valencia?
Anybody else available to meet up with Amych on Sunday 6 or 7ish in the Mission for eating drinking and merriment besides Sunil and various Zmayhemi?

I am always up for burritos on Valencia.

Depends on what she likes to do, I expect. If she likes museums I just spent time recently at the DeYoung (with Tommyrot and Monica) and the Natural History Museum and they're both pretty cool.
Does she like fancy cocktails? Lots of places to try those.
Shoe shopping? Vintage? Foodie?
Outside of SF, there's always stuff like exploring Sausilito, or going up to Wine Country or the Redwoods. All within a an hour and a half drive.

Excellent! Well, then let's get a headcount. Bay Area Localistas?
Hooray for burritos with SFistas!
I really want to. I am not sure I can swing it this weekend but I am going to try.
Sunday outing update? Or possibly inning... if, as it's starting to appear, it's going to be a small group, what about just hanging out Chez Zmayhem for neighborhood burritos or homemade pizza and cocktails and slounging with no proprietors wanting us to hurry up and finish and leave?
