Gonna see if I can make it as well. If I can bring games. Otherwise I literally have no idea what to do with myself at a bar. I'm talking big fantasy games that have a huge footprint and would look incredibly awkward in a bar. Those kinds of games.

Plan your daily schedule around the baby bullets so you can get to one every day with time to spare, otherwise you'll double (or worse) your commute time. Plan around one day completely lost to a train-track suicide a month.

I'd go if Astro brings games

If I happen to get there before hand I'll set up shop at the bar area. I'm looking forward to trying this place out since I've never been to it. Look forward to seeing some of you fine distinguished folks again.

Cool. I should be there right around 7. The Tied House is solid but not spectacular.
Boooourns. Yes, let's set up something else soon.Rats! Have daddy duty tomorrow night because wife is away at a conference. We should do a little game night some time.

Tied House has some pretty good food and beer. Nice place when I lived out in MV.
Would love to organize a game night somewhere.Rats! Have daddy duty tomorrow night because wife is away at a conference. We should do a little game night some time.

I just got down to Mountain View. It's busy here tonight. I should be over at the Tied House in a few minutes.

Good times tonight, all. Let's do it again sometime soon.

Can anyone recommend buses from SF to LA? I was vaguely thinking about popping down to LA every Saturday for about eight weeks and I'm pretty sure that's more than I can afford by plane. So I was thinking about taking Megabus, but now I read about how bad Megabus can be and I dunno now. (I don't have a car and even if I did, I wouldn't be driving there and back every weekend.)

Only $6 to go to la and back? Is it really that cheap? Would one way be $3?

Megabus pricing depends on how far ahead you book.
I just wanted to know if I'd be better off with Greyhound or something. (I also looked into trains, but there's one per day and it's far slower than the bus.)
bring a sitting pillow for the ride. those seats are hard plastic with a thin pancake of fabric for your tush and a neck pillow.
plan ahead for comfort because no matter where you sit those bus seats are pretty rough.

Ah. Good advice. I wouldn't have known. Actually, as frugal and occasionally dumb as I am, I bet it would have taken me three or four trips before I though of those things.
Hello, SF BayGAF.
Going on a road trip next week (from BC) and we'll be lucky enough to pass through SF for a few days.
We've got a few things we'd like to do, but I thought I'd ask the opinions of those who actually live there. ie, you people. Any suggestions welcome....
More specifically, what's the best beer store to go to if I'm interested in Russian River beers (eg, sours)??

Toronado's, just prepare for the berating when you don't know what to order.
City Beer Store in SOMA
Monk's Kettle
Mikeller Bar
Rogue Ales
Zeitgeist
Since you'll be making your way down, might as well try and stop by Russian River Brewing Co. in Santa Rose (about an hour north of SF)
I split my time about 70/30 between South Bay and SF for work/pleasure. Rarely head to the east bay unless it's something food or music related.

I'll co-sign on this list. City Beer Store has actual bottles that you can take home, whereas the other ones are bars. Rosamunde on Mission has a good beer list, as well.
Yup, it's on the way down, and they have lots of good stuff. It's a lot of IPA, though they do have some other stuff.

I haven't been to City Beer in a while, but you can hang out inside and drink some beer. Because it's technically a store, it closes early around 10pm. Beer Revolution has the same concept and is an awesome place, but across the bay in Oakland.
Slightly off topic, but theres a wacky cafe laundry mat nearby City Beer called Brainwash that serves food, coffee, and awful comedy stand up.
If you really love sours, try hitting up Cascade in Portland, Oregon on your way down
Yep, I'm going with a couple friends as well. Haven't been before but it's like five minutes from my place and I like their games list. Just hope that a decent number of games are actually available to play as it looks like lots of people are going.
Just checked this out and it seems like a wonderful idea. Somehow missed the memo...I haven't been to City Beer in a while, but you can hang out inside and drink some beer.

Will also look into Brainwash. Thanks

No joke - it's somehow a bit surreal to see you talking about stuff not related to TV, Cornballer.
Cornballer likes beer and soccer too!
I'll be there.
Hey cool didn't know you were going! I went two years ago and the worst line for a game was 2 people. Most have 0-1 so it was fantastic to be occupied at some machine somewhere at all times. The show may have grown since then.
Ah, I went last night. I've gone the last 3 years. Have a good time!
So I have family coming to visit and they mentioned going to big basin... I have a 6 month old and they have a 5 year old, if we only do a small loop how walkable is it with the kids. The baby can be strapped to my chest as I'm assuming strollers won't work, it's the 5 yr old I'm more worried about.
Plus I've been here for a year next month and I haven't made it out with anyone here yet, I suck

What are you interested in doing? We can throw around food, nightlife, and tourism recommendations depending on what you're up for. Be specific.
Damn I should have checked this thread over the weekend. Acid and I were there, it was a great weekend!

Anyone checking out Jpop festival this weekend in SF? The girlfriend and I were planning on checking it out again this year. We had a blast last year. I can't wait to chow down on some ramen and sushi.
It'll be his first time there, and my first time since I was 8. (22 now). So generally I was thinking Golden Gate Bridge, is there anything to do at Coit tower?, Alcatraz and I know theres a great science museum in SF
Food recommendations too. We both have a slight aversion to asian cuisine but we're both willing to try since we'll be in San Fran. We're staying in Oakland, so I'm curious how much the BART costs.lso anything else would be great, nightlife and hidden gems too.
Oh a beercade?SO basically throw around what you would show family but also friends.

Red_Taiyaki and I (along with a bunch of other friends) will be at JPop this weekend.
If you see someone wearing this One Piece hat on the left:
Then that'll be me.
