   Driving up from Santa Cruz – anyone have parking suggestions?

      footnote4, are you interested in carpooling (I am over in Aptos)
      1. footnote4 July 17, 2017 at 2:05 pm

         Good idea. We’re in Scotts Valley – when would you be coming through? We could meet at the Peet’s on Mt Hermon.
         1. oliverks July 17, 2017 at 6:53 pm

            Peet’s would work well

            I think we might want to at around 3:40 if we want to get their by 5:00

            We can leave a little later if that works for you.

               3:40 at Peet’s works – will be waiting outside

                  OK great, I am about 6’2″ and wear really thick glasses.

                     Two of us will be there – dorkenergy may or may not be wearing his Bernienator shirt 8]

                        Great I have a car that can hold 3 people, but it is not super big. Do you guys have a comfortable sized car?
                        1. footnote4 July 18, 2017 at 6:12 pm

                           We have an Accord, but it has some stuff in it. We’ll be walking to Peet’s to meet you then can drive to our place and swap cars if appropriate.

      S.F. city-operated parking garages at 5th and Mission or Yerba Buena Center are a short walk from the venue and offer pretty reasonable rates for the City. I may also be driving from Santa Cruz. Depends on how physical therapy goes in the morning…
      1. footnote4 July 17, 2017 at 2:09 pm

         Thanks for the pointer, and hope you’re up to joining in. Would catching a ride make a difference in your ability to travel?
         1. Sluggeaux July 17, 2017 at 3:16 pm

            Thanks for the thoughtful offer, but it’s more a fatigue thing than an ability thing. I just returned from an 8-day, 1000-mile odyssey, moving my first-born and her partner from Berserkly to Seattle.

   Powell St station of Bart is a 2 minute walk from press club.

   Cal Train at 4th st is a 20 min walk.

   Going home from either station will require close examination of scheduled trains. After 8 is often irregular schedule on pub transit

      Powell Street station: the directions on the Press Club site say this:

      Take the BART or Muni to the Powell Street Station. Exit via the Yerba Buena Gardens stairwell which feeds out onto Market Street. Walk past the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, take a right onto Yerba Buena Lane (unmarked). Press Club is down the lane on your left.

      It’s actually a little bit amount closer, walking-wise, to go via Powell Street station than to park at either of the public parking lots. So, if I were driving, I’d consider parking at some other place near a streetcar line and taking the streetcar to Powell Street station.

   Have fun! Wish I could get to that one!
