San Francisco’s BART and MUNI couldn’t be any easier to use! I had no trouble getting from the airport into the city. Once in the city, it was easy to get around as well.
Burmese Salad
On Tuesday night I met up with my grandma and uncle and had dinner at a Burmese restaurant. Their Burmese salad was quite good and quite strange as well.
Afterwards we went to the swanky Cliff House for a drink, and for the view. Unfortunately by the time we got there it was dark. and foggy. If you look really closely you can see a wave.

On Wednesday night after the conference I walked around by the Fisherman’s Wharf a bit. I decided to look for any web or tech-related events happening but figured it would be a long shot to find something starting that night. A quick Google search later I found the Microformats meetup happening in less than an hour at 21st Amendment. Knowing nothing about who would be there or what to expect, I got on the next bus that direction, and hung out right outside the door.
Like any good stalker should, I spent a few minutes researching microformats and the people involved. I was able to find a couple names and photos of people who might be there, so I kept my eye out for someone to approach who resembled the tiny photos I found on my iPod. At 8:00 sharp, Tantek walked up and started poking around on his phone, which was a good clue. After a brief introduction I found myself having dinner with some great people!

Thanks for the great evening, guys! If I’m ever back in San Francisco I’ll look you up again!
Made it back to the house after a subway ride through the fog.
Did I mention it was foggy?
