San Francisco: 24 Hours In

by Aaron Brazell on August 4, 2006 · 24 comments

I’ve been in San Francisco almost 24 hours now. My body is not handling the time shift well, which makes me what? A pushover? :) It’s only 3 hours difference! At any rate, I love this town. It’s fabulous. Besides the fact I had to buy a jacket in the middle of the summer. It felt like a cold October night last night. Odd since it was in the 110s heat index back home before I left.

One of the things I can’t get over in this town is how many hills there are. I’ve never quite seen anything like it. Granted, the Northeast is mostly flat, but wow. I’ve been doing sightseeing today – acting like a tourist whenever I can. I hate when people do that but you know, it doesn’t
hurt to break my own rules once in awhile.

Tomorrow is WordCamp. I’m really looking forward to that and the after party. Will good to meet some people, finally. So far I’m flying solo here and that’s okay. I’m a geek that hides behind a computer so I like being left alone. But I also look forward to actually meeting people.

Anyways, that’s all for now. Cheers!

Hey Aaron, glad to hear you’re having a good time… I was in SF yesterday and the weather was beautiful though the air was a lot browner than usual

*cough!*

I’m going to do my best to make it to WordCamp (I live in Sacramento,) so maybe I’ll see you there.

Have fun, and one little tip: if you want to catch a Cable Car, but don’t want to wait in those terrible lines, just walk up the track a bit. Maybe a block or two.

You can get on anywhere the car stops, not just at the end of the track.

For some reason tourists always line up in this massive line at the end of the track…

You still have to pay though ;)

See ya at WC!
