BART runs really early.

This example is if you were staying in a hotel near Union Square in SF :

from Powell Street (which is near Union Square in SF) to the Coliseum/Oakland Airport BART station :

earliest direct line : leaves Powell at 4.20 AM and arrives at the Coliseum at 4.42 AM.

last train back to Powell : leaves the Coliseum at 12.23 AM and arrives at Powell on 12.46 AM

Sicy, you've never taken BART? Aye carumba! Easiest mass transportation ever!

 

[Sicy]

Well I've never really needed to I guess. That's what my car is for. Plus I dont commute really, I only work about 12 miles from home.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Cool. I remember waiting FOREVER for a cab from the BART station after we got back into the city after the last show. This time I think I'll either park a rental car at the station or tell a family member to expect a call at midnight or so.

 

[Miringeltje]

Or get a hotel in SF in walking distance from a BART station.
Bart goes to SFO as well.
So you might not even need a rental car.

keep in mind, the Oakland airport is like 5 miles from the venue, and is often cheaper to fly in and out of than SFO. BART offers a bus that runs between the airport and the stadium (where people transfer to the trains).

And if there are any other golf geeks here, that is the same week as the US Open being held at Pebble Beach.

WOW i hadn't realized that it's already been 10 years since the last open there! GO TIGER.



also, FUCK YES OAKLAND BABY

Oakland is cheaper, smaller, and much less stressful than SFO.

OK, I checked out airfare. This longshot turned into a no. I was hoping to get out there and meet some of you. Ah well.

 

[lauramullen]

I'm going to plan flights and everything after I get tickets to all the shows. I have to go from Philly to Anaheim, Anaheim to Denver and then Denver to Oakland. Kind of makes me want to skip Denver altogether.

Yeah, I wanted to do Denver but the date didn't work. So, I'll spend a day or two extra in Oakland/SF and then go to Seattle if everything works out.

BART is so easy...I'm so excited to be going to a show in a City I know! Although I don't live there, I know the Bay Area well...so it's kinda like home.

I'm thinking about skipping Denver and taking the train to Oakland and doing some site seeing. I haven't been to San Francisco since 1997.

 

[zuropa_fit]

U2 and a visit with my family (parents, brother, nieces and nephews, grandma)? I'm so excited. I think we'll do a trip out to Yosemite after the show...

unless I do Seattle

Yosemite, my most favorite place.

Though seeing you in Anaheim, Oakland and Seattle would be beyond awesome!

I am taking it one show/trip at a time, even if I end up just catching one, I will be super happy.

[BonoFox1]

[lauramullen]

I'm so excited about this show and Anaheim. I can't wait to meet all the West Coast Inteferencers.

Lucky. My boyfriend and I went in August. It is the most wonderful place in the world!

 

[lauramullen]

My tickets were already dispatched!

 

[ramblin rose]

Wow, mine too. That's crazy, the general sale hasn't even happened yet.

 

[chels82]

Lucky? Nah, living in Fresno isn't lucky.

 

[indigo tree]

Lucky? Nah, living in Fresno isn't lucky.

Oh, Fresno, eh? LOL, I guess I was imagining somewhere much closer.

 

[nicv]

It's ok, at least you get out every now and then.

 

[nicv]

It was love at first sight for me I've gone every year since, sometimes two or three times.

Very spiritual for me, it's right up there with U2.

It's only 45 minutes from here. We are the Gateway to the Yosemite, after all.
