OK - Here's the plan so far:

Around 5:30 meet in the lobby of the Palace Hotel near the Pied Piper (way overpriced ) bar.

For Turpin : Take the F streetcar ( http://www.sfmta.com/cms/mrider/histcars.htm ) from the Jones Street (Fisherman's Wharf) turnaround to Market & New Montgomery Street (between 2nd and 3rd) http://www.sfmta.com/cms/mmaps/documents/F.pdf Fare is $1.50 in exact change and get a free transfer slip from the driver for the return trip. (Handy tip: avoid looking like a tourist by remembering to step down on the treadle step when exiting to open the rear doors of the car.) The Palace is on the south corner of the intersection. http://www.sfpalace.com/main/home.htm

Everyone else: Take BART or MUNI to Montgomery Street.

When everyone is together we can go directly across New Montgomery to the House of Shields. http://www.houseofshields.com/

Then on to Eddie Rickenbacker's saloon (133 Second Street) for a steak and a look at the motorcycle collection.

After that we can go around the corner (579 Howard Street) to Kate O'Briens.

Anyone planning on attending - send me a PM so I can give you my cell phone number to contact me for our whereabouts should you get held up in traffic.
