San Francisco 11th crawl
reverse the trip?
If Downtown will be a morning mess, why not flip the meeting place over to Sausalito? We could sketch around that area, then take the ferry over and enjoy the chaos downtown, and finally return to Sausalito for sharing sketches.
It does sound like a busy weekend at both ends though. Perhaps a more remote location? There's an amazing lighthouse out at Point Reyes, for example. Or on a nature lover's kick - we could hit Muir Woods for some redwood appreciation.
So long as we get out and sketching, its all good ( even if parking is tricky )

well Bart, might indeed be the way to do this ... maybe we should stick with Plan A ... just try and park a little further away from Market and 2nd I'd say ... as you can see on this map from last year's event ,

that's roughly where the parade starts ... but it does head away from our area and goes instead to Civic Center, so hopefully it won't be too bad ...
So public transportation or park away from Market and downtown ...
ok ?
I actually like to take public transportation on SC ... if you can, Bart or Muni it !
you can draw on it !

Let me see if I've got this right.
We're back to sketchcrawling Sausalito, meeting at 11:00 at Peets Coffee in the Ferry Building to take the noontime ferry, Saturday September 23rd.
If you live in San Francisco you already know that the best way to get downtown is via public transportation. Though not always reliable, it is always interesting. And the big plus for us: NO NEED TO PARK!
This will be my first sketchcrawl - and I'm delighted it will be in Sausalito.

yep, the plan stays !
This one:
The ferry to Sausalito leaves from infront of the Ferry Building at the Embarcadero. We want to get the 12:00 ferry.
SO WE ARE MEETING AT 11:00am at PEET'S COFFEE in the Ferry Building.
Here's the location for that.

and if you can and want buy your tickets in advance ...

bulk tickets save $
If we each buy our tickets seperately, it's $6.75 each way. If we all meet up and order a booklet ($72 for 20 tickets) it's $3.60 each way. I can't imagine there will be less than 10 of us, judging from previous outings.

frosti - that's a great idea Thanks for offering that. We should get a head count of who's interested in chipping in for a booklet of tickets.
enrico - I calledl the Ferry office and they recommended to buy tickets in advanced. It will not sell out as fast as the Alcatraz trip, but they can't promise tickets to be available on a busy Saturday afternoon.
