well, just like last year, with the 'conference in oklahoma, while i'm there, go to new york' thing... this year the conference is in lake tahoe (famous for killing sonny bono), and this time the plan is a bit different

18th may: lake tahoe -> seattle .. bus from seattle to vancouver
spend 2 days partying with twee, fresh off the peaceboatthen somehow

san francisco is the only one of those cities that i went to, and you'd only need a couple of days there. you can cover the main attractions pretty quickly if you want to, but it's a pretty good city to hang out and drink and eat and take heaps of photos of boats. heh.

oh really ?

boats are good ... i'll wanna go take photos of the house from full house as well .. i don't really even know what the 'main attractions' are anyway!

umm. there's a big wharf, with lots of tourists and stalls that sell seafood - named, by pure chance, "fisherman's wharf". there's lombard street, which is in about every second movie ever made, which is the super steep winding street. that's irrelevant, but interesting. there's little satellite cities like oakland, with lots of students, therefore good bookshops etc. there's alcatraz, the old prison on an island, where you can take tours (book in advance). there's a fabulously tacky chinatown, lots of nice places on the harbour, cold and windy weather (even in summer), and good shopping. that's what i best remember right now.
oh, and a really good rail system. :)

the 'full house' house is one of the 'seven sisters' in alamo square. the n-judah line (one of the lightrails), which you can take to haight ashbury, takes you right past there.
