April 15th: Thrifting / Cherry Blossom Festival.

The plan is to all be at Lafayette Bart by 9am Sunday morning to head out into beautiful San Francisco to partake of some thrifting for our Comic-Con cosplays and then to enjoy the cherry blossom festival for a spell.

Thrifting will either take place around the Height or Castro section of San Francisco depending on what strikes my fancy in the morning, or whatever the general consensus is.

Our goal is to be at the festival by noon so that it can be enjoyed by all as one of our party members has work at 3 and must therefore leave early.

It is also worth noting that all the grand parade is taking place next Sunday, the 22nd. opposed to this one so if we were to want a festival only trip next week it would be entirely doable if for no other reason than parades are great.

September 5th: Walt Disney Museum

The plan for Monday is as follows. For bay area kids we will be meeting at BART at 11am for the sake of neutrality I am picking Pleasant Hill BART but that is negotiable. From there we will take a San Francisco train to the Montgomery stop in SF. The goal is to have everyone at the Montgomery SF BART stop by 12:20.

This is followed by a four minute walk to Sutter and Sansome St. To get on the Muni - 76 - towards Fort Cronkhite Parking Lot at 12:39.12:55pm - Off Board, NW Corner of Lombard St & Divisadero St (16 min ride). Muni - 43 - towards Geneva Ave & Munich St, Sa... - Fare Schedule 1:09pm - Board, NW Corner of Lombard St & Divisadero St (next 1:24pm) 1:12pm - Off Board, S Corner of Presidio Blvd & Letterman Dr (3 min ride)
Walk to 104 Montgomery St, San Francisco - (9 min walk)


Should we horribly miscalculate and run a wee bit late (as the next 76 does not stop by for another hour. ) the plan is to instead head to Market St & Montgomery St to board the Muni - 38 - towards V.A. Hospital at 1PM 12:59pm - Board, W Corner of Market St & Montgomery St (next 1:05pm)
1:21pm - Off Board, N Corner of Geary Blvd & Presidio Ave (22 min ride)
Muni - 43 - towards Fillmore St & Chestnut St,... - Fare Schedule
1:25pm - Board, NE Corner of Presidio Ave & Geary Blvd (next 1:40pm)
1:32pm - Off Board, S Corner of Letterman Dr & Lincoln Blvd (7 min ride)
Walk to 104 Montgomery St, San Francisco - (10 min walk)

Then we are at the museum. $2 for bus and $20 for the museum is the in city cost. Calculating the cost to get to the city from your BART stop is your own deal and such.

Return trip: There are several options for getting back from the Presidio to a valid BART station. The lay route is taking the Muni - 43 - towards Geneva Ave & Munich St. to the South Corner of Geneva Ave/Balboa Park Bart (45 min ride) This leaves you at the balboa park BART station. If you want to knock 15 minutes or so off the ride, or end up back at Montgomery Off Board, NW Corner of Presidio Ave & Jackson St (4 min ride) to Muni - 3 - towards Sutter St & Sansome St, San... - Fare Schedule
6:24pm - Board, SE Corner of Presidio Ave & Jackson St (next 6:44pm)
6:50pm - Off Board, NW Corner of Sansome St & Sutter St (26 min ride)
Walk to Montgomery, San Francisco - (4 min walk)

Any or all of this is subject to change. If something does not work for you leave a post here, a tweet a facebook wall post or you know: Call me. I tend to pick up my phone as long as it is a phone call. I would love a head count by Saturday night if at all possible.

So Excited.
