the 500 club might be the most hated bar in my life. fuck those bartenders, fuck the jocks at the bar for calling me names.

Whoa, really?
My experiences at the 500 have been pretty civilized.

It has to be mentioned every time the 500 club is brought up, doesn't it?

That place makes me think of Sparks. And heartburn
xp it does!

Every single time I've been to 500 it was because some other place was too crowded.

Thanks for some of the restaurant ideas listed--My son and I made it to Taqueria Cancun in the Mission, and to Muraccis(Japanese Katsu curry) in the financial district. Both were yummy.

was in san francisco for an hour last friday (ate at hanoi vietnamese place on 19th & taraval) and for a few hours tuesday night (ate at kyoto sushi on van ness & sutter, drank at mcteague's saloon (lame) and then later in the SFO rental car return garage). also, floating on the russian was the nicest ever, plus some people brought boxer doggies in their canoe and the boxer doggies were wearing shoes so they was high-steppin'

Come and get some.

re. floating down the russian.
what company did you use? did you do the 10 mile canoe trip?
― djh, Friday, 20 August 2010 15:57 (fourteen years ago) link
SOAR in healdsburg was my chosen outfitter, $50/head. 8 mile trip, took us a little less than 4 hours, no big whoop. we did a lot of paddling though, like more than you're probably supposed to do for it to be considered a "leisurely" voyage, and we finished well before everyone else. two things i did not like: 1) inflatable canoes that lack a keel and therefore tend to spin all over the place unless you're real good about paddling on each side equitably; 2) girl that checked us in had a nasty attitude and a raging case of the mouth herpes to match. beer and sandwiches-wise, there's an A&M market two stores over that'll hook you up before you go, and SOAR will let you borrow one of their coolers if you don't have one. oh yeah and remember to put sunscreen on your legs, too - i forgot.

Burke's Canoes is $50 per canoe (metal) , you can fit 2-3 people in each one. it's got free transport back to the start. do it on sundays as there's way less river traffic then on Saturday. Also on Sunday if you have time you can hit the Sebastapol farmer's market for lunch on the way in to the river. Speaking as a child of agrarian immigrants, this is one of the better farmer's markets in the bay area.

Marvellous. And where should we go for wine between Burke's and Santa Rosa?

sebastapool's market is good!
there is this street food festival in the mission today. might go.

street food festival was fun but predictably overcrowded. saw no ilxors. did eat some stuff from the beretta stand.

Rogue Wave and TMBG in Stern Grove tomorrow (free!). We will probably go, because one of my 3 yr old sons loves "Groat Wave."

wanted to go to street food fest but got up too late then had a driving lesson bang in the middle of the arvo :(want to go out tonight but feeling to lazy to make this happen..
― Not the real Village People, Sunday, 22 August 2010 01:50 (fourteen years ago) link
heard the street food fest was a mess. just ridiculously overcrowded. not surprising tbh
― jaxon, Sunday, 22 August 2010 03:24 (fourteen years ago) link
went to stern grove; this was actually the first time I've ever made it out there for a stern grove festival show, holy shit is it always that crowded (I suppose it isn't for like, orchestra things)? I know it was the first warm day of summer this year but it was pretty insane. RW are my studio mates but I never ever go out and see them play, was cool that they got a crowd like that, except rude staff and general horrible crowding meant we split immediately after they were done, which was kind of a waste of our awesome free parking spot at grandma's across the street. Maybe "free" combined with "good weather" just brought absolutely everyone out.
did go to rockmake afterward which was nice and not crowded. I sound like an old man!

― akm, Monday, 23 August 2010 13:50 (fourteen years ago) link
We had a good time, but had to sit off to the side, and left after RW. I spent most of the show with my son on my shoulders, avoiding the aisle-clearing bouncer dudes. What a beautiful day, though, for a change. Looks like we're getting a week's worth of good weather after this awful, awful summer.

Not in my experience; it's packed.
