From 19th and Lincoln, we will meet just beyond the junction of MLK Jr. drive and 19th. We'll be between
Greetings, TICKET I have 1 ticket, row G, for Saturday's SF show. Asking face value + charges, so $30. (un)lucky recipient will be able to sit next to me. PICNIC EROTICA Oops, sorry, I meant exotica. It's a good thing we're trying to plan a meet-up for strangers from out-of-state in the largest municipal park in the country. Consequently, per the Pine Fox's suggestion, all those who identify as women must come draped in brightly hued sarongs with tropical flowers perched among their locks; those who identify as men may be expected to wear their best safari khakis. Those who identify as neither or both can dress as wild game. With this small precaution, which I'm sure was the kind Pine Fox's intention all along, we shall surely stand out; a certain accomplishment in the city of San Francisco. In all seriousness, the particulars for the SF picnic exotica follow: We shall meet by Stow Lake, in the East End of Golden Gate Park, at 2:00 p.m. As the west end is the ocean, this seems a wise choice. There are many twee features of this site. It is not only the second largest lake in the city, it is adjacent to the first children's playground in America. It is also by the (free) arboreteum. Adventurous sinisterees can join me on a trek up Strawberry Hill, the island in the lake, for, naturally, the view. From this nearly 500 foot perch grand views of that bridge (fog permitting) and the skyscrapers and the park may be had. I will bring a frisbee with more than a few canine teeth marks. I'll leave the canine at home. WEATHER WARNING: SF is not California. it gets cold. sep-oct are the warmest months, and it's been hot the past 10 days, but it can be really cold and foggy. remember, layerliness is next to godliness. As for finding us: Stow Lake may be accessed by 19th Avenue at Lincoln. By MUNI, the underground subway monster, take the outbound N -Judah line from Market Street downtown, and get off at Judah and 19th. Turn right on 19th, and in two blocks you will find Lincoln. By car, take Fell Street, then take a right on Stanyan, then a left on Lincoln. Please email if you need further directions, as most seem to be from out of town. For directions on public transport, you can call MUNI at (415) 673-6864, and a real live person will kindly tell you how to get there from wherever you happen to be in the city. the children's park and the lake, to the right of 19th avenue, in the grass. I'll bring some big dorky red balloons to identify us.
