Bay to Breakers—So like, what’s the plan?
May 17th, 2006 by some dudeUm, that’s a good question. Let’s see….
The meeting place:
We will meet at the corner of 3rd St. and Howard St. at 8:15 am Sunday to join the “race.” Note this is not the official starting area. Make sure you have a couple cell phone numbers to find people in case you’re late or things don’t go as planned. If you need my number, email me.
Alternatively, feel free to come up the night before and spend the night, or come to our house early Sunday and take the MUNI light rail to the race with us. We will leave our house no later than 7:30am to catch the 7:46am train at 24th and Church. Get off at the Powell or Montgomery St stations (we should be able to get off, since it will be after 8:00—if not, we will have to get off at either Duboce/Church or Embarcadero and walk a ways).
Getting stuff together:
I reckon we’ll be fixing up the carts Friday night and Saturday. Maybe we’ll grill some dinner Saturday if you wanna come over. Oh, and we’ll need to test and mix up batches of Ol’ Bessy’s “milk.” And I still want to go find large quantities of Boone’s Farm for one or two of her udders.
UPDATE:
By the way, bring beer and snacks. Do not bring glass bottles or coolers (won’t fit in the cart).

Be advised: MUNI charges a flat rate of something outrageous like $6 on the morning of B2B. Don’t say you weren’t warned!

Yeah, I saw that. I think it’s only expensive for the extra express trains/buses, which are only on certain lines. N-Judah is one that’s running the expensive express service. J-Church is just running regular Sunday service.
