That was fun, Rock.

It was! And almost gossip-free.
And now I think I'm off to shop, nerd-style. (Borderlands, Isotope, maybe Aquarius, maybe Amoeba.)
― Rock Hardy, Monday, 18 August 2008 20:36 (fifteen years ago) link
just seen: 69 and companion shopping at Aquarius.

haaa, that's about when I was in there.

Wow, um, should I read through all 950 hidden messages?
I'll be in Tiburon over Xmas. Where can I escape to?
Will bookmark and dig through this thread for suggestions.

Oh yes, I certainly plan on doing that!
(Also, my brother said that I could borrow his car whenever I wanted, so I will be able to get out and about, even if my driving precludes pint-based activities.)
― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 19 August 2008 14:25 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm not sure about the Blue and Gold ferries but on the Golden Gate Transit ferries between Sausalito and San Francisco, 'pint-based' activities can be found at the bar.
― Michael White, Tuesday, 19 August 2008 14:43 (fifteen years ago) link
A boat with a bar on it... this sounds like my idea of heaven! Especially as I probably won't be allowed to drink around family. :-(
But wouldn't I have to drive to get to Sausalito from Tiburon?
(I am really quite scared of driving fullstop, as I have not done it in years, especially not on that side of the road.)
But then again, the Bay Area has good public transportation for an American city, doesn't it?

It looks like there's a limited service (Route 19) that takes you from Tiburon to Marin City and then you change to the Number 10 bus to go south.

Don't you have a bar in Sausalito?
― Michael White, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 17:05 (fifteen years ago) link
wow, looks like a bad accident in the bay bridge/treasure island tunnel. lots of smoke.

― akm, Wednesday, 17 September 2008 05:15 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm playing the Hotel Utah in SF this friday night; a certain adamrl may be in attendance, and possibly a mr. raggett.
― akm, Wednesday, 17 September 2008 05:16 (fifteen years ago) link
oh and i guess hardly strictly bluegrass is in ggp now, it used to be in stern grove, didn't it? i don't remember.
― akm, Wednesday, 17 September 2008 05:18 (fifteen years ago) link
i am in Stockton until Halloween at least ... an hour-and-a-half away. if anyone cares.
― Eisbaer, Wednesday, 17 September 2008 05:22 (fifteen years ago) link
akm, HSB is in Golden Gate Park where it's always been.
Funny that Messrs Raggett and adamrl will be here Friday since I will be in L.A.

HSB is awesome! Its free, its in the park, and there are always at least a handful of cool performers at any given time - Will Oldham and Ralph Stanley and Doc Watson, etc
― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 17 September 2008 16:23 (fifteen years ago) link
where in the park is it?

It's the first time in GGP, right? I'm not sure the exact stage locations have been announced.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 17 September 2008 16:31 (fifteen years ago) link
No, it's always in GGP.
I had dinner in LA next to RPlant and AKraus a few months ago and they said they are pretty excited about it.
― Steve Shasta, Wednesday, 17 September 2008 16:32 (fifteen years ago) link
No wait I'm wrong. I have no idea what I'm thinking of. This is last years map:

lolz M White comes correct as usual. I will definitely be there this year with the wife and young'un in tow - hopefully to see Plant but we'll see how it shakes out. Seein Doc Watson and Earl Scruggs a few years ago was aces, unfortunately I caught a cold and had to miss Dolly Parton :(

My gf does the travel for the Festival so I've gone for the last three or four years to at least a couple of shows. I usually prefer the Rooster stage but they spread the talent 'round really well.

Robert Plant/Alison Krauss set is on Friday?! fuck that shit

Anyone looking for a place to dance to disco/italo/boogie music should stop by the Deco Lounge tonight. It's $5, but send me a message (at myspace.com/ferraripartiers) and i'll put you on the ILX guest list :)

i found Steve's advice to pack lunch and spend a day at Angel Island v well-taken. it was mostly brilliantly sunny on a day when much of the bay was fogged in and i found the 6 hour investment in doing the perimeter road (and what was open below it) and taking lots of pictures to be about right, if a lot more than i planned on, but ymmv.
― gabbneb, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 17:28 (fifteen years ago) link
twin peaks towards sunset was also awesome
― gabbneb, Tuesday, 11 November 2008 17:31 (fifteen years ago) link
Angel Island is pretty scorched right now, though.
― Lili des Bellons (Michael White), Tuesday, 11 November 2008 17:33 (fifteen years ago) link
that was part of the awesome, actually. and less than 1/2 of what i encountered was fire-damaged.
