Improptu MechaSF meetdown? I'm heading into town tomorrow. Anyone want to have a wee get-together?
I don't really know much about the city—I'm just going in to hit up Aquarius and Amoeba, and wander about the Mission and possibly its environs. So somewhere around there? Early eveningish?
I'm bridge-and-tunnel folk, so I don't have an encylopedic knowlege of the pubs in the city.
In the upper haight, I like Magnolia brewery; further down I like the Mad Dog cuz Toronado is usually too crowded.
In the mission I've enjoyed a pint at the Latin American Club, 12 Galaxies, and plenty of other spots. But... I'm never averse to breaking new ground, pub-wise. Most places won't be crowded in the early evening, so that seems like a fine time.
12 G's is a venue, which can make it a little spendy to raise a pint if you don't have a reason to hang out for the entertainment, but as Triode says, tons of great places, 'specially here in the Mission.
Last I heard, we were supposed to be interviewing roommates today, but I don't know what time. Post your plans and I'll see what happens on my end.
I'm going to head out around 3, I think, placing me there sometime before 4, then hoof it around the area for a while ... I'm emailing y'all my phone number.
