Hello all!
Deb
(bolded since I know Deb is in whirlwind mode), Cass and I decided to take Southwest up to Oakland and rent a car for the ride back down to cut 10 hours of driving out of this week. We won't be getting to Oakland until around 1:30PM Saturday and will then need to grab bags, find car, and check into the hotel before coming to your place. That means we probably won't get there until 3ish. S'okay? Also, you know where we're staying--about 3 miles from your place--is parking going to be an issue? Should we cab it? Bus? What can we bring?
Can't wait to see everyone!
Also, hoping to do dinner or some such with LAistas on Monday night--maybe post here where we could meet up for anyone who's interested?
Kristin, Deb's neighborhood is parkable. You may have to drive around the block a few times and search, but it's not one of the more horrendously difficult areas to find parking. If you're staying at that hotel on Stanyan, now THAT is a hard neighborhood to park in.
Thanks Katerina! That's all I needed to know.
Glad to help, ma'am. See ya Saturday!
We have achieved Beverly, and Ginger, and SailAweigh, and Teppy. Andrea L is here. I am boiling up first pile of water for pasta, and will feed people as they wander in.
Woot!

I'm now rethinking my decision to choose home renovations over the Nilly Tour F2F.
I am alternating working on customer stuff, packing, and doing my nails. I leave in 8 hours. I might sleep.
Kristin, if you ask me, Katerina Bee's description of Deb's neighborhood as "parkable" is relative. I *don't* consider that area (or really any area in SF) parkable, and would advise you and Cass to park at the hotel and cab or bus it over.
I love SF, but have found it to be a very unfriendly city for out of town drivers
I'm from out of town, and I always manage to find something. Compared to L.A. though? Definitely not friendly.
I have finished most of the customer stuff, am not doing my nails and am almost done packing. Just got to make a run to the bank and the store, then I do plan on sleeping. I think. I hope.
