The Burning Amp Festival- October 18th 2009 Sign ups

[tbrooke]

I was looking at Google and I'm staying in n Embarcadero (my wife has a conference that ends Saturday) it looks easy to get to by car - which may be an option - doesn't look like buses go there, looks like a long way to walk, Biking might be fun and the ferry looks fun or a combination of bike and ferry

Any thoughts from old timers
Also any spouse activities - the last thing she's interested in is amps but she might like to come over and have a beer or go out to eat afterwards

You CAN rent a bike - down around Pier 39 I think. IT is quite windy to go over the bridge, but there are hundreds of people doing it daily on their rented bikes. (just bring a sweatshirt) Once over the bridge, a short ride to the site. When you get over the bridge immediately turn LEFT (West) sharply through the parking lot and cut back towards SF through the security gate (bikes can go around it) and descend to the foot of the bridge. When you get to the bottom of the hill you are a 1/4 mile from Presidio Yacht club- Next to the Discovery Museum and the Coast Guard Station.

Good plan! BUT I am pretty sure that there ARE buses to that area Golden Gate Transit..
Good to research for the return trip

We will have burgers for lunch, but for dinner- there are some good restaurants in Sausalito, right down the road..

Slam,
Glad to help out, BTW, what part of CA are you coming from?
First you need to have a PayPal account. Do you?
If so, it's easy as fallin' off a log.
Copy Mark's email address. (iguana at crozone dot com) fix the email address by replacing the at and dot.
Open up your Paypal account from their website and click on "Send Money"
Paste Mark's email address in the "To" area, subtitle email or mobile phone.
Click on the amount box and type in $20, USD.
In the next section click "services".
Then click continue.
Next page will be "Review Payment", if it looks OK, click "Send Money".
In the "Message box" below make sure to tell Variac (Mark) what you name is and what your Login name is too. I don't think we are using our login name on the nametags this year but it's a way for him to contact you if all else fails.

See you at BA3!

Ron

Ron,

Thanks much for the detailed instruction! Will send the money rightaway. I live in Fremont so it would be a nice Sunday morning drive up there. Can't wait to go to BA3 to suck up the knowledge from the experienced folks and have some fun. See you there!

I took a bus from the city to BA last year, might do it again this year. Very easy, I just don't remember the line number right now. Shouldn't be too hard to look up.
