I spent yesterday afternoon at Pacific Coast Brewing’s tasting of holiday beers. They have some fantastic brews there that will probably sell out soon. This is in downtown Oakland a few steps from the 12 Street BART station (www.bart.gov), which in turn is a 12-minute ride from Montgomery Street in S.F. Not that I’m lobbying, but it would be pleasant. They also serve wine and bunch of food.

I think Monday will work…I have family in town for my defense but they are leaving late Monday afternoon, so I should be able to make it downtown (or wherever) after I see them off.

Monday, OK. I’ll surely have more energy that day.

Wait a minute, can he take US out, too?

AUGH. The prof I’m TAing for is taking everyone out to dinner on Thursday. Would people’s schedules be horribly deranged if we moved to Monday?

yami … me too, we live near the Mission and barely go anywhere else. There’s a brewery/restaurant near the Moscone center called Thirsy Bear, which I’ve gone to the last couple of years. I like their beer, and the food is good, although a bit overpriced.

I know some good places in the Mission, but not many in downtown proper. Oooh, except Beardpapa, but you can’t have cream puffs for dinner.

Anyway, walk-in seating for a group of 5 on a Thursday shouldn’t be a problem, so I don’t think we really need to plan much in advance.

I like the happy-hour and then see what happens plan … is that cool with everybody else?

Even though I live in SF, I never go downtown and don’t know that many places … but I know of a few
