Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Supposedly there are bison in Golden Gate park.
They are definitely out there. Not feral though, much to meara's disappointment I'm sure.
We also have an albino alligator in the California Academy of Science (which is in GG Park).
OK, more hotel stuff. Monica and I decided on the Carl Hotel, only to discover that it's booked up. (Their own web page has no reservations page.) So now we're thinking of the Red Victorian. It's on Haight St. We want the Summer of Love room.
Anyone have experience with this place?
Yup, I've had several friends stay there. It's a nice, hippy styley but clean and pretty Victorian. No TVs in the room. But they've got probably got WiFi as they have a cafe downstairs. You're right smack on Haight Street which has its pluses and minuses. Both the Carl and Red Vic are within a few blocks of my house, so I could meet you guys and have breakfast or give you a walking tour.

Our network is down, so I can't reformat my resume. Everyone is standing around gossiping, and I am trying to file away my projects.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Thanks, Hec. My major concern is the noise, since it's on Haight St. So we picked a room that apparently does not face Haight. I'll pack earplugs to be safe.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Too serious. If I'm going to see something by myself, I want something fun or floofy.
Also, just got a call from my credit card company, and some bastards got a hold of my card.

They tried to charge over $200 at Teavana.

Heh. I suspect it was an online purchase, but it got declined, so I guess my credit card people are quick on the mark.
Bastards.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The Red Victorian is right across the street from a fantastic indie bookstore, The Booksmith (which has hosted readings for Hec, Deb G, and possibly other localista authors I'm blanking on), right next door to the spendy but utterly fantastic vintage store Decades of Fashion (great stuff for both genders and a variety of body types, with a back room full of eye-popping opera costumes), and a couple doors down from Loved To Death.
Also within easy access to the Aub Zam Zam (home of Bruno, legendary martini artist and professional surly bastard who would kick people out for such offenses as dressing like hippies or ordering vodka martinis), lots of taquerias, great Ethiopian food and the Pork Store Cafe.
