Shrift, if you don't mind animals in the house, we have a guest room you're more than welcome to use. It's comfy. We live in Pasadena, though, so if you wanted to be closer to the water, we aren't the best choice. We are near Allyson and Kristen's place and Kat and family, however. We will both be working a lot of the time, so you could just use it as a place to crash.

Thanks for the offer, Pix! I am booked at the con hotel for Escapade while I'm in LA, which is the only hotel I have lined up right now, amusingly enough.

Perfect!

Verra exciting, shrift!

Would you be interested in ouster eating while you are on SF? If so, would you have any weekday afternoon free? If not, we can weekend oysters, but they might cost more.

We need to Sushi as well, but that might take more figuring out than it used to because of the dog

Sushi with Lee is a Good Thing.

Mmmm, I need to make sushi again soon.

Is that like where you vote someone off the dinner table after each course?

Definitely in for sushi, a little dubious about oysters. I don't think I'll likely have weekday afternoons free. I'll probably be spending them in meetings or stalking coworkers while I'm at the Mother Ship, and I'll likely be out on quarterly business reviews while I'm in SF.

Oops

Shrift, we should plan on sushi on the weekend while you are here, at least, and hopefully more

I should be de-cluttering and other things but here's where my mind is today.

Shir, and other traveling B'tas, if you can plan fairly far ahead, friends of mine have a small but charming cottage in Stinson Beach that they only rent to friends or friends of friends. It's 1 BR (qn. bed) and 1 bath, with an air bed and a couch. Know how there are small lanes lined with cottages that go up to the beach & ocean? this house is about 6 houses back from the Pacific. It has a fenced-in private yard (private enough to nude sunbath) and is dog-friendly. IF you wanted to stay on the beach, it's a great spot to get away. Easy walk to town. It is not an easy drive from there to SF, which you can see from the beach, however; it's a get away at the beach place. If from out of town, you have to borrow or bring all your own linens (not blankets, just sheets, towels, that kind of thing), and clean it before you leave. Rentals like this usually go for around $200/night, and this a small fraction of that. SOoooo let me know. They get booked up by families with kids in July Aug and early Sept.
