San Francisco, CA? Creeker Dinner?

[Aaron Koehl]

Hello from sunny San Mateo! I'd post pictures except I left the firewire cable for my camera at home. :eek:

Thanks to all who gave the great advice about San Francisco! I've stuffed myself silly on Dim Sum, Cioppino, Lattes from Caffe Trieste.. you name it. The Wharf has been a blast.

Any other 'Creekers in the area want to get together, tomorrow (Thurs, Feb 29, 2007) at 7pm? Perhaps a local can suggest where.

I'm at the San Mateo Marriott-

So far:
Dave Fifield
Helen Gee and George

[Helen Gee]

Hey Aaron,

Hubby (George) and I are in! We can swing by and pick you up, we don't live too far if you want to head into SF for dinner. What do you feel like eating? I think Dave is in San Jose though, so might be a far trek, but if he can meet up at your hotel, we can drive up together to SF?

[Dan Lyke]

Not sure yet if I can make it, but I'm north of SF, so San Francisco means more likely :)

[Dave Fifield]

Yep, I'm in. I can swing by the hotel and pick you up if you want Aaron. I will probably have Bill Villamor with me (he's an SMC lurker!). I also let Calvin, another local guy know about it, so he might turn up too.

Cheers,

[Helen Gee]

What do you guys feel like eating? I vote for SF so Dan can join too and it's not that far from San Mateo.

[Dave Fifield]

SF is fine with me - nothing too fancy/pricey though - good honest healthy food is what I like. Any ideas? Please consider parking! Will we have to make a reservation?

Cheers,

[Dave Fifield]

Oh, BTW Aaron, it's not a leap year, so it's Thursday March 1st :rolleyes: :D

What about Chris Padilla? Anyone know how to contact him?

[Dan Lyke]

My sweety and I can make the trek at least into the city.

[Helen Gee]

My friend has visited this place a lot, although it says "Flower Mart" (yes they do sell flowers during the day) the owner has branched out to a pretty decent restaurant.

Their website looks like it's under construction, but the menu looks like this:

They have a free parking lot too.

The Flower Market Cafe
is located at
698 Brannan Street
(and 6th Street)
San Francisco, California 94107

Can't really think of any other place in SF that might have free parking :eek:

[Dan Lyke]

Flower Market Cafe, 6th & Brannan, at 7:00 it is!

(And, yes, for those of you confused by the note on that website, I just called, and they are serving dinner)

[Dave Fifield]

+/- the traffic.......

[Helen Gee]

Dave, are you gonna swing by and pick up Aaron? So we are at about 6-7 people? I can call for reservations if Dan hasn't done so yet :D

[Aaron Koehl]

+/- the traffic.......
Flower Cafe it is then-
Dave has offered to pick me up on the way- (Dave, I'll call ya)

I'll probably shoot for 7 and expect 7:30. ;)

Helen, if you want to PM me your cell, I'll call you in case anything unexpected happens (earthquake, etc). :D

[Dave Fifield]

Do we need to make a reservation?

[Helen Gee]

How about we shoot for 7:30 instead? is that too late for ya Dan? Traffic all over is insane,but at least it's not raining :D .

I'll call and make reservations just in case :)

[Aaron Koehl]

Dave, are you gonna swing by and pick up Aaron? So we are at about 6-7 people? I can call for reservations if Dan hasn't done so yet :D
Helen,

Dave is going to swing by to pick me up.
You might add 2 or 3 more to the reservation when you call just in case any others show up.

[Helen Gee]

Okee folks, made the reservation under my name for 7:30. Not sure if Dan will see this beforehand so we'll just show up around 7-ish. Anyone else out there who wants to drop by, come on by!!!!

[Aaron Koehl]

Oh, BTW Aaron, it's not a leap year, so it's Thursday March 1st :rolleyes: :D

What about Chris Padilla? Anyone know how to contact him?
Drat! I originally had put Thurs Feb 28.. I incremented the 28 and forgot to modulo. ;)

[Dan Lyke]

Drat! I originally had put Thurs Feb 28.. I incremented the 28 and forgot to modulo. ;)

Is it modulo when the number changes with each of the higher digit?

Arbitrary base numbering systems are hard...

See ya tonight!

[Nancy Laird]

Y'all can't know how much I envy you having this dinner tonight in SF - but just remember, NO PICS, DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!! I'll be looking for pictures about midnight MST.

Nancy

[Aaron Koehl]

Well, I just got back to my hotel. Dinner was fantastic, thanks to all who showed! I'll post proof when I get back on the East Coast! (It really did happen!) :D

[Helen Gee]

George and I had a great time!! BTW, apparently an earthquake did hit while you were here Aaron :eek: :

4.2 quake jolts Bay Area -- no link to last week's temblor

[Dave Fifield]

Yes, thanks for some good conversation and a nice dinner! Definitely up for doing that again.
