San Francisco or bust! (Wanna do something?)

So today I booked my flight and hotels for the Player Summit next month. It's funny; a year ago today, I had never set foot in California. As of next month, I will have been there three times.

Because I have yet to really do the touristy stuff in San Francisco that I've wanted to in the past two trips, this time I booked my flight for Tuesday, and unlike my past trips, I'm actually going to be staying in San Francisco, not just making day trips there. Friday, I'll check out of the hotel in San Francisco, rent a car and do some touristy driving stuff, then drive down to Palo Alto to check into Dinah's Garden. I'll stay there through Sunday night, and then on Monday, I'll head back up to San Francisco to catch the plane back home to Atlanta.

So the point of all of this is that I'm going to be in San Francisco from Tuesday night through midday on Friday. Anyone local want to do anything? If not, I'll figure out entertaining things to do; I'm pretty good at finding ways to occupy myself and it's not like San Francisco is a dull and boring place to be. But if someone wants to, I dunno, catch a movie or knows of a cool place to go or geeky thing to do, give me a holler. The current working plan is to just get everywhere before Friday on foot or by Muni since my hotel is just a few blocks from Fisherman's Wharf. If you want to do something too far outside that range, I might prevail upon your willingness to schlep me around.

And of course, if anyone else is going to be making a vacation out of the trip, definitely let me know. The area from San Francisco to San Jose has a LOT of really cool and interesting things to see and do. I'll be by myself (sorry Taxibot fans, Belle's not coming with me this trip ), so I certainly wouldn't mind a tourist buddy! I've got to warn you though, I'm making it my personal mission to visit Alcatraz this time, come hell or high water. (Hopefully neither.)

So how about everyone else? Even if you don't want to/can't hang out with me, is anyone planning on making more of a vacation out of the trip other than just doing the Player Summit and related activities Friday night and Saturday?

Pfft. That's ok, he'd probably just start a website to collect other tourists' data and get someone to send maps and create a Tourist/Vacation Designer for download.

'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

I figured I have to drive across Golden Gate Bridge and maybe the Bay Bridge. If the stadia of the 49ers and Raiders have stores, I might drive out to them and get some souvenirs. I probably won't drive down the coast, but who knows? I might look to see if there's some triangular route to Palo Alto so that I can drive down the coast a little bit, the cut over to Palo Alto. Or maybe I'll go up to Muir Woods or something, I don't know. I would like to pop back out the Apple store at One Infinite Loop. When I was out there a year ago, I either forgot or lost a couple of souvenirs that I had bought some people from there, and I'm feeling really bad about that.
