I'm In!
I'll be there. I'm not sure how much I can participate, since I have to drive to Utah the next day. But I'll figure out a way to hang out and take some pictures for at least part of the day.
Thanks for making this happen, Rebekah!

4/23 is photo day at SBC Park. Line up behind SBC Park along the Waterfront at 8:30 AM with Camera and Game Ticket. Photographers with game tickets will be allowed on the field pregame to photograph players. However, it might rain that day.
Golden Gate Park would not be complete without a visit to the Strybing Arboretum (SF Botanical Gardens) and the Conservatory of Flowers and possible the Japanese Tea Garden. Strybing opens at 10 AM.
I guess I should be known as SF 10D dude now.

Re: San Francisco Gathering?
Hey folks!
I'm coming to SF on Tuesday morning from Seattle. I need to be in Palo Alto for business wed/thurs, but am arriving at 08:30 Tuesday a.m. so I can spend the day in SF to shoot. ;o)
I realize you've got a day planned for later in the week - however, if there are any die-hards who never seem to get enough shooting and would like to meet up Tuesday - I'm game!
My first trip to SF was about a month ago. I shot at Crissy Field, North Point, Presidio, the park @ the end of the bridge on the Marin side, Palace of Fine Arts, China Town, Japan Town - I managed to cover all these in a day and a half...
If no one is game for shooting - what are the top places you'd recommend shooting? I land about 8;30 and will be on the road by 9:15. I've got the ENTIRE day, don't need to be in Palo until roughly 8p.
Thanks!

Thanks! I heisted your itinerary.... ;o) Since I'm flying solo, I might forgo the muni and buses, - limited on time and cant afford to get lost. hahaha
I definitely want to go to Cliff House and SF Gardens, and the Coit Tower... <sigh>
