I've gotten a bunch of ideas from friends who have already been I'm curious what this group thinks. I've got a week in the area, including 2.5 days in SF and 3.5 in SJ. We will have a car, Andy and I are going to Laguna for MotoGP so what else is there? I'm looking for places I must eat, things I must see and hippies and/or homos I must hate on.
Okay go!

HAULN-SS Wrote:fishermans wharf for eatz Meh, sure. The one place I really recommend going (especially since you have a car) is Tartine Bakery. There's always a line, but it's always worth it. IMO, it's the best bakery in the city. My startup spiders the web for user opinions and it's one of the top places to eat in SF... even though it's just a bakery.

Nix that, it's the second top rated dining establishment in SF, from across the web.

hey jack can you give me a beta account to that site?
If you want an invite to the site, go to goplanit.com and sign up for an invite. We should be able to send a round of beta invites next friday, maybe a couple sooner. I was planning on inviting everyone in MM first.
Edit: I'll approve you asap for an invite. :-)

I'm not big on seafood, but Jenn loved the food at Scoma's which is on the wharf. The portions were not small by any stretch of the imagination and its a pretty nice place. I dont know if you're into seafood, Chris, but if so, I'd check it out.
on a side note, the older brother of a friend of mine from high school started yelp. I hear its really popular in San Fran. The Charlottesville membership is lacking severely.

Yeah, yelp is huge here. Kinda like craigslist before it spread like wildfire.
San Jose is pretty *yawn* - I'd spend most of your time in SF or go north to Evan's favorite - wine country. yelp.com is a decent resource on restaurants in SF - be sure to get some sushi!

Is there anything regarding the CA wildfires we need to know about?
(I'm looking in Jack's direction.)

(I'm looking in Jack's direction.) Not that I know of. I've been able to commute to Santa Cruz without a problem. My car did get coated with a layer of ash for a week or two when I was down there, but they generally keep the roadways open. You can always call the CHP hotline or check their site if you're worried. I spoke with a Ranger in Big Sur and he said they closed the 1 for a few hours last week, but that's rare.
Chris - you have photos up from your trip?

On my list of things to do this week is to clean a bunch up and get them onto my photography site.

I got all the fancy stuff online but am too lazy to post examples.

I think Alcatraz is my favorite.
