What is it that I keep saying about time? That it goes so fast is what. By next Monday afternoon, I'll be in lovely San Francisco, tromping my way from Oakland to a hostel three blocks off Union Square.

So, most of the time I'll be at the conference. But what should luli82 and I do at other times? Good clean cheap tourist stuff, good places to see, things to do, places to explore.... or should we just get ourselfs lost?

A whole week in SF. I love mid-quarter vacations.

WOO SF!!

Let me know if you want to get together for breakfast or lunch sometime.

As for good clean fun, I'd recommend the Cartoon Art Museum (in South of Market) and the pirate store in my neighborhood. Cartoon Art Museum is $5 and the pirate store is theoretically free until you notice all the awesome things they sell.

Oh! Oh! are you talking about 826 Valencia? That is a Froggy must. (Surely you cannot be talking about that scurvy Captain Rick's.)

Me? Patronize Captain Rick's?

Okay, I went there once when I was new in town and didn't know any better. Those fish were totally not soothing to my soul!

Go people watching on Telegraph Street in Berekeley
Golden Gate Park is cool, there's some black sand beaches in that area just north of the bridge, and I personally love Half Moon Bay which is just a short 30 min drive south of the city on California 1. Great beaches and I think the Maverick surf competitions are sometime soon down there near Point Montara, which has an awesome beach and a light-house hostel.

If you're into gardens there's some awesome Japanese gardens worth experiencing.

Around Union Square there are some neat little side streets with artists and stuff.

Walking around in the Mission is cool, as is going to Mission Dolores, if you're into that kind of thing.

Do ride the cable car, if only to get around the city and see different areas.

(I'm not much help -- I went in July for a party :P)

If your into cheap college pizza go to Phat Slice for a good deal on Telegraph Street. There's a lot of people just hanging out in and around there and Amoeba Music - http://www.answers.com/topic/amoeba-music
