One of my friends wants to go early too... Sure hope we don't have to wait outside for long. Still debating on what to wear since I am not a fan of the cold.
I spotted a couple people in the thread who are driving from South Bay, how big is the group right now? I live in SJ and my plans were to drive up Saturday and Sunday. Speaking of which, anyone have recommendations as to where to park for the entire day? I was just going to bust out the BestParking app, but maybe an SF local has a recommendation here.
I'm not sure if I'll be around on Friday to get my badge. I could come up, but that would totally depend on when people are meeting up the day before. Otherwise, I can probably just snag mine Saturday morning worst case.
My plans so far are to check out the UC4 panel and PS Keynote at a minimum. Also, I hadn't even heard of Cosmic Star Heroine before the PS.Blog post, looks AWESOME!

5-6 am sounds good, plus time should move a bit more quickly since there will be a group.
Thankfully Amazon has finally shipped my stool.

Well, PSXGAF, I'm on the plane and will be leaving Chicago shortly. See you soon!
Thanks! That's very helpful. I think The Loving Hut just may be the ticket.

Quick question for previous attendees, and apologies if it's already been addressed. What's the situation with the opening Keynote? Is there a lot of waiting in line? Can we show up close to 10 and still get in (even with less than great seats) or is it a first come first serve type of thing?
Me and a group of coworkers are coming in and want to grab breakfast before around 9 but I'm not sure if that would leave us enough time.
Thanks!

the hype is real.
not sure of the size of the hall, I was in line at 6:45 last year and was about 75 people deep. I do not believe they turned away anyone from attending, but its a different venue so I can't really confirm.

Impossible to know. We don't know attendance, size of the room etc. Adam Boyes suggested getting in line by 8 at the latest.

Also in what's probably the biggest news of my career - our game was just announced for PS4, and we'll be at PSX this weekend! We'll be in booth 1164, come by and say hi.

I'm coming up from Santa Clara. Right now I'm just driving myself.
I usually just bite the bullet and park at the Metreon lot which is directly behind Moscone West - https://www.google.com/maps/place/M...1!3m1!1s0x0000000000000000:0x6ec3c96a9e0edd27
If people want lunch/good quick eats, there's a massive basement food court underneath Bloomingdale's across the street from the parking lot I'll be parking in (As well as a Mel's Drive in and Jack in the Box across the way). There used to be a craftwich but I think it closed down...
Food Court restaurants - https://www.food.westfield.com/centres/sanfrancisco?_ga=1.138185328.1940688561.1449169233
Double Double with grilled onions (assuming you can handle onions, grilled are amazeballs.. I get grilled and raw on the same burger), fries well done (or animal style).
Truly, the best thing about In n Out compared to the other chains is how incredibly fresh the lettuce, tomatoes, etc. taste. Even the bun tastes fresh and has just the right amount of crunch to it from toasting. Pay attention to that to get the optimal experience.

I'm looking forward to meeting you now!
This will be my third time in the State of California and I always forgot about In n' Out Burger until it was too late. Maybe now's the time. My friend, who is touching down tomorrow, has very bland tastes. She's a pizza and hamburger kind of gal. How can someone be so vanilla?!
You look eerily like your avatar.
Rain is great for once! But I thought picking up the badges only began on Friday at noon?
Ha, I moved from Canada to California earlier in the year. That conversion rate was really killer.Bought some US currency today. Damn crappy canadian dollar. $1.37

It was sketched for me by a long-time friend for use on our YouTube channel (and I colored and am animating it soon)You look eerily like your avatar.
I think he is just concerned it will be raining up until Sunday, when it was initially thought to start raining...
http://www.wunderground.com/us/ca/san_francisco.html says it should be clear tomorrow and Sat...
I think there's nothing to worry about. Constant rain in California for over 3-4 days would be a (welcome) miracle. Should be nice and dry on Friday and Saturday.

The best way to get the burgers IMO is onions however you like them (animal style, grilled, or raw), and then get EXTRA TOASTED BUN, and FRIED MUSTARD, and chopped chilis (optional).

I always get animal style EVERYTHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Trust me, I know we need the rain... just not during events that involve waiting outside, possibly exposed to it. Not as worried for Sunday, just the early, cold line Saturday.

I'm excited to be going! If you come by the Nuclear Throne booth, I'll probably be doin' demos while Rami's out meeting the president or something like always.
There is at Pier 39.

That looks like a lot of fun! And that blowing down the door with a gun that shoots keys had me in stitches.
It's out in Fisherman's Wharf [MAP]. If you need something cheap and light I'd recommend their "Grilled Cheese" option (everything except the meat and super cheap), but I do love me some burger
Also, closer to Downtown we've got Super Duper Burger all over the place and Pearl's Deluxe Burgers which is close to Union Square and a few blocks from Golden Gate Tap Room, etc...HP_Wuvcraft

Well, it looks like it's going to be a fucking wet weekend.
Forecast says overcast Saturday, rain Sunday. Either way I don't even care!
Funny though, I feel like it's rained maybe 5 times in the last five years in the Bay Area and we get some for PSX.

If forecasts hold then people ought to be fine for picking up their badges on Friday and hanging out in the city if they get in early, as well as it being dry for Saturday; Sunday seems to be the wet day. However weather forecasting might as well be voodoo to me so who knows.

El Nino was very..... vehement.... up until an hour ago here in Redwood Shores.
Ha, there is one on the Wharf, but I can't think of any others.

Good stuff.
I think Super Duper is close to In N Out in quality, but I feel like In N Out has less greasy stuff. Super Duper is a-lot more expensive than Super Duper. You can spend about $6 or $7 at In N Out and get a good taste, but at Super Duper, you'll easily go into $10+ for a nice burger, frenchfries, drink - etc.
For those who are coming here out-side of California and the Bay Area, just be prepared. There is always a possibility of showers in SF. Hopefully it doesn't rain too much. (we need it, but people suck at driving here, especially in the rain, and I don't want my stuff to be really wet.)

Yea, I'm probably gonna check that one out.
Oh shit, I didn't know that. Hmm. I don't go to that area often though.
