What’s hot in San Fran?

So I will be leaving for San Francisco tomorrow and while everyone else worries about what they will do business wise I need to find out what are the fun things to do in town? I have never been so…

You won’t meet one native who will refer to San Francisco as “Frisco”. It’s embarassing, and only people who’ve moved here from the midwest call it that. “Don’t Call It Frisco” is a book by Herb Caen one of San Francisco’s heroes. I’d reccommend reading it before you make an ass of yourself in public.

(Editor’s Note: Easy there Fireball. Not sure if this is important enough to qualify for “ass of yourself” status. I will, however, take your comments into consideration. Thanks.)

The mere mention of In & Out burgers made my stomach growl. I miss SF!

Going home (SF) on Sep 2. YAY!

Justin: gotta agree on the Apple Hill thing. Been making the trip every fall for years. Not just for the juice, though. Can’t leave without several Apple/Blackberry/Cream Cheese pies (one for now, the rest for the freezer.) I recommend going on Guy Fawkes Day, and stopping by the Jack Russel Brewery…they always put on quite the Guy Fawkes celebration!

As for In-n-Out, you gotta love a place that’s proud to boast no freezers, no microwaves, and no heat lamps: ever. They still cut the fries as needed directly from teh whole potato, have fresh buns made every day, get fresh meat delivered daily (it’s never frozen)…Ahhh….a double-double animal style sounds pretty good right now…

Have fun in “The City”, Mike.

> but I do remember they have the world’s best apple juice.

With no disrespect to Sebastopol (which I’ve always known for it’s active art community, not apples), I do believe that Apple Hill in the foothills east of Sacramento (near Placerville) holds claim to the worlds best apple juice. There are several breweries in Santa Rosa (Russian River, to name one) that carry Two Rivers Cider (hard cider). Made from the freshest apple juice, from Apple Hill.

Calling it “Frisco” is fine, at least by people who have been here awhile… I think that “Don’t call it Frisco!” line may have been floated for newbies who want to feel proprietary about their experience or something…. ;-)

(If you’ll be stopping by the Macromedia offices then I’ve got a table in the back of the cafe afternoons… Niall Kennedy has word of Henry’s Hunan on Wednesday.)

Yay! I’m so excited about this week and having so many of my favorite people in town (now that I’m not a Dallasite anymore). I look forward to seeing you, Mike!

At first i thought you meant Frisco as in Frisco, Texas — Dallas’ newest “exurb” and home of the latest IKEA. i was thinking, “Why in the world would Mike want to go there?”

mmm In-N-Out, I always tell my brother that I am going out to SF to see him, but really its all about the burgers (and the milkshake).

Scrivs has the smallest head on the speakers page. We call the glamour shot he sent us, “Mini Scrivs.”

Jakob,

The entire summit will be blogged live by Will Pate and Kris Krug and, of course, most of the attendees.

(Editor’s Note: Reminds me of the old line from Fletch — “He actually 6’5″… 6’9″ with the afro”)
