Requests:

Need to setup carpooling or have other issues? List them here.

 

 

Holler if you need a ride (I'm coming from 3rd and Folsom in SF) -- alan [at] picturesurf [dot] org

 

I am driving down from the Mission (26th@Florida) in SF and have one seat free in the car.  Let me know if you are interested to carpool (Leaving SF at around 1.15pm and staying at least until 9pm) -> philip [at] baybrain [dot] com Yeah! Car is full!

 

How is the access? parking pretty close ? can someone describe the general geography?  I am most likely using wheelchair but crutches might be possible.  If wheelchair then it is helpful if things aren't too crammed together in a room or for there to be paths...  - Liz 

Parking's pretty close, and I think there's handicap parking. This is what it looks like. As for moving around inside, there will be plenty of room for a wheelchair.- Mike

 

Bring your stuff for the craft room. I'll have all kinds of textile stuff: looms, spinning wheels, maybe the sewing machine even.

 

How about playing some music together? Last time at Sun there was a room where dancing broke out... perhaps some live sound in there would be fun? I'll bring the music stuff I'm hacking on. -- Craig <www.netjam.org>

 

I've got a couple of carpool spots available coming down from the Mission (24th & Valencia) if anyone needs a ride. I plan on leaving around 1:30 or 2 and staying until at least 9. -- cklaiber at gmail

 

I can give a ride to one or two coming from Los Gatos. Can't guarantee a ride back though. nat at natwelch dot com

 

San Mateo / Foster City rides available, can fit three more + 24 ft^3 gear, or one more + 70 ft^3 gear. -- garrett (a) macetech * com
