And I really liked his spirit

On the fifteenth, Will Shetterly and Emma Bull are coming to San Francisco for a book signing at Borderlands. I've wrestled with the public transportation angle, and 511.org promises me it'll take about two hours (not counting the four block stroll at the end) to get there from here. Google maps says forty-five minutes by car, but that doesn't account for traffic. Regardless, given that I get off work at six and the signing starts at seven, driving still sounds like a win. All I'd have to do is figure some parking. And not go insane.

On that note, I'm thinking of putting together a mix disc for Territory to give to Emma when she's there, a sort of wild west mix. Again, tracklist suggestions are welcome.

Right now I've got "Tombstone" by the Pogues and "Ghost of a Texas Ladies' Man" by Concrete Blonde. So you can see that I already have nothing in mind and am open to suggestions.

Google maps doesn't consider traffic, which I would expect to be significant in that time frame. I believe SF is still a bedroom community, so many people will be heading from the silicon valley to their homes in SF. Plus, parking. Always with the parking!! ;-)

Yeah, I'm still not sold on either course. Train means I don't have to worry about parking, about getting my car broken into, I can sit on the train and read my book instead of getting stressed about the other idiots trying to kill me.

Where exactly is this event that getting your car broken into is a much great risk then the train station? (not snarking, actually curious)

20th and Valencia, more or less. And it's not neccessarily that it's a great risk so much as that it stresses me.
