Lash in San Francisco

lashbear · 04-17-2007, 11:37 PM

Well, open up your golden gate... here I am.

SD to Pismo was big, but Pismo to SFO via Big Sur and Santa Cruz beach boardwalk was madness !! (but good).

We did a "Giant Dipper Or Die In A Day" tour which saw us run onto the boardwalk, go on the coaster and run back to the car.

All of which in order to drop off the car in SFO by 4pm which we tried to...... and they were closed.

We are now up for another days rental.

Why do they let you have a dropoff time of 4pm when they know they shut then ?

Grrr. But we went to the Castro and had dinner at Orphan Andys and everythings allright on the home front now.

General city touring tomorrow.

PS: we're staying right next to the Ballet !!

Tori used to have the cutest poster in her bedroom- 'Ballet Bears'. Little cute bears dressed up in tutus, pirouetting about the poster. I looked at the last part of Lash's post and flashed on him and Stoat doing the same with some Castro Bears.

Now, that would be a great poster!

(Have fun, you two!)

Kevy & I could do the "bears of ballet" calendar... what do you think ? We could talk Chris & GD Greg to join us....

Tutu's (or Four-Fours) for all !!

Anyhow... Nighty Night from SFO.

Yay!

So, do we want to meet for dinner? It seems my schedule for this week actually does stink. I can't get out of work since both my bosses are in our VA office, so I have to mind the store. Thursday night is out for me.

Maybe dinner before you go to Beach Blanket on Saturday is not a bad idea?

Sunday is the Cherry Blossom Festival, close by my house, right? So maybe we meet there too, as planned?

PM me!

You're also near some good spots to eat. I don't care what anyone else says, I always love Max's in Opera Plaza, besides, a decent bookstore right next to it is always an attraction.

On Hayes some good spots, too. not to mention Citizen Cake....Vicolo Pizza.

Hope you bought some pants, it's chilly today!

I just got back from SF on Monday, took a weekend trip up there. Hey Lashes dont forget to go to Bearbucks, the local Castro starbucks that all the bears hang out in....

Snowflake · 04-18-2007, 08:58 AM

Ohh, and I love the Big Dipper, always a favorite coaster.

MouseWife · 04-18-2007, 09:09 AM

Nice to see you fellows made it!

Ugh, darn rental company. I don't know why they do this, also. Some places allow you to drop the key off in a slot but since they didn't tell you this prior, not a good thing to do, eh?

Love your coaster story.

Have loads of fun!!!

Max's... is that Max's Opera Cafe, where the waiters sing? Good choice

Yup, that be da place. how can you not love a place that proclaims on their door (and menus) This is not a good place for a diet, it's not, but as a once in a while treat, yummers.
