y'all will be happy to know that I'm giving Muse another chance to impress me. They're headlining a big festival here in Tucson (KFMA Day, if anyone's interested) with 30 Seconds to Mars and Silver Sun Pickups

Well I'm jealous. I haven't seen them since they played Reading festival in 2002. Loved 'Sunburn', back in the day, cool song.

 

[zuropa_fit]

^ come to Tucson April 11th Oh wait, you won't even be in the country!

Absolution! That's what you need.

 

[cathalmc]

Oh, and I just bagged a couple of tix for Oakland so see y'all in Cali!

 

[lauramullen]

Yep, arrive back home that very day..... Straight to the beach me thinks

Oh, and I just bagged a couple of tix for Oakland so see y'all in Cali!

Cool. Not sure if I should keep my Oakland ticket, I really should have started work by then.

 

[zuropa_fit]

^ um, David, I'll be there. Cathal will be there. Is this really an option?

 

[d.darroch]

^ ummm,...... ask my employer. well, my boss is really cool, & i'm actually his boss for the winter (weird), so he'd probably be ok. but it's still all up in the air, june's so far away, & between Anaheim & Oakland, it's just a bit too long to be just chilling, when I should be starting a new job. we'll see

 

[zuropa_fit]

^ I know. I just like to give you a hard time! You do what you gotta do.

 

[cathalmc]

The Solution!

 

[d.darroch]

[d.darroch]

For any of you in town Sunday the 13th, and if there is interest, I can take a few of you around San Francisco. Right now I'm leaning toward driving into the city and ditching the car in one place. Then everyone can take muni/BART around to various places. A few of us are also doing Alcatraz that evening.

 

[zuropa_fit]

How late in the evening are you planing the Alcatraz trip?

 

[vjacqb]

SFers, what's the most convenient way to get to SF (Embarcadero area or Fisherman's Wharf) from Jack London Square in Oakland? Does Bart run through Jack London? Or is there a bus that doesn't take me all around Oakland first before getting to SF?

 

[lauramullen]

I'm going to look up the BART maps and see how to get there.

 

[romi]

How late in the evening are you planing the Alcatraz trip?

Not thaaat late. The last oen is 6:45 p.m.

 

[cathalmc]

The Alcatraz trip sounds great, if there's space for one more. I remember watching the movie on a black n white portable telly in my bedroom in the 80s and not having a clue what was going on cos it's a pretty dark movie anyway.

 

[zuropa_fit]

Not thaaat late. The last oen is 6:45 p.m.

We might join you. I'll let you know. Have you made reservations yet?

If anyone's staying in town longer, I'll be doing the Golden Gate Park / Academy of Sciences / DeYoung Museum thing on the 18th.

 

[romi]

it looks like tickets go on sale for that week next week. I would not wait more than two or three weeks to get them, because they sell out fast in the summer. (only one company does trips to the island, the other just float you around it.)

 

[indigo tree]

Gosh I haven't even made hotel reservations for this yet. So....should I bed down in SF or Oakland?

Look into taking a ferry as well.

East Bay Ferries

skip the ferries. BART is best.

 

[No spoken words]

Disagree, but, this was not about imposing my opinion on the situation, it was about sharing information.

Also, they were asking how to get to the Embarcadero from Jack London Square, and for that, the ferry is a great and fun option. BART reeks of corpse, puke and pachouli. That being said, I'll leave it up to them to decide, obviously.

vjacqb, take a look at that link and at the BART map, etc, and decide what you deem best. At the end of the day, obviously, none of them are "best", they all get you where you want to go, it's just about how you want to get there.

Enjoy the area!

well at least now i know where auckland source their second hand trains.

 

[No spoken words]

I mean, BART's great and all, but they need an upgrade. The ferry is nice cos it's like a little mini-cruise to your destination.

Fucking Auckland. Export something worthwhile.
