We'll be at Specs (2 Adler Place, alley off Columbus, between Broadway and Pacific) at 6:30.

Thanks.

Anyone know what Muni line I could take from Van Ness near Broadway or Pacific Ave.?

There's something very weird going on in the internets regarding the location of Spec's. Both Google and Yahoo give various addresses for Spec's that are nowhere near North Beach. The real address of Spec's appears to be 12 Saroyan Place.

getoffmylawn, from my muni map (a few years old, but it hasn't failed me yet) it looks like the 12 goes down Pacific.

Treepour, Thanks. I found that out, and that the 12 doesn't run going backwards to where I need to go to get out of SF.
I thought this would be so easy except the location seems to be more Financial district than North Beach.

I found that 12 WILLIAM SAROYAN Place is the actual street name.

OMG if wimpdork gets to meet loq tonight I will be so jellous!

CURSE YOU LOC DAWG FOR LEAVING PHOENIX!!!

CURSE YOU LOC DAWG FOR LEAVING PHOENIX!!!

Be jealous, sucka.

Dude, I still love the deserts, but Phoenix is the rancid, boiled dog-anus of the universe. There is no logical, sane reason for there to be a metropolis there. 3/4ths of the year it's over 100 F. Half of that it's over 110. And for half of that it might hit 120 for a week or three straight. That whole city is mad with heatstroke and dehydration - mean, ornery, cheap, sun-addled and just plain fucking nuts.

Right now? Right here and now? I live in the fucking promised land. SF makes me so disgustingly happy that I'm probably going to have to shoot myself just to regain some perspective.
