Hypographers Who Meet

[Loricybin]

I might be making my way to San Francisco this summer, I would be intrigued to maybe meet some people.

yeah, man, i love san fransisco. i live about 40 miles from there, and i've been going all the time.

 

 

Anyone ever gone to Burning Man? I'm going to probably going for the first time next year (2007). Wikipedia: Burning Man. I would expect to see Orby there.

actually, i was supposed to go this year, but ticket situations were both expensive and complicated, so i've been planning to go '07 for my first time as well.

we have to meet up there, man.

 

I doubt I will see you any time between now and then,

 

so we have to go to burning man next year.

 

I tried to sign up as a volunteer multiple times but never ever got a call back, or an e-mail.

 

and yeah, the tickets were way too expensive for me

 

considering I just spent all my money on a SITAR!:Glasses: :doh: :edevil: :ebomb:

I don't know what I want to bring. My mom and her entourage is in charge of the survival gear. Oh, for the first timers out there. Burning Man is an endurace test. Know what you need to bring. It's really dusty, very hot, and very dry. Fine particulate dusty, like what you find at the bottom of a lake bed... which would be because it is/was a lake bed.

 

Water is good. Water is your friend. You want lots of Water. Bring things to exchange. Burning man, from what my mom tells me, is a gift economy.

 

Theres more to it... but I am not absolutely sure of it so I will leave it as an excersise for others. Just keep in mind that the nearest city (otherthan Burning man) is pretty far away, plan accordingly.

[Queso]

True.

 

Time to put that crazy backpack I bought to good use.

I enjoyed the distinct pleasure of Turtles company during a visit on the 21st. :eek:

...

My thanks for Turtles hospitality, and I am looking forward to another visit in the near future.

 

:eek: :cup:

 

De nada Señor Masked-One. :cup: For a mammal, you don't make too bad a guest. (Does Aesop have any Racoons in his stories!? :shade: )

 

Your post reminds me of the social columns that used to run in papers and I enjoyed that bit of nostalgia on reading my morning news here at Hypography. Only after Racoon departed did I realize we burned 6 1/2 hours chatting! :bwa: Fortunatley we had solved the World's problems in the first 5 hours and spent the rest of the visit exchanging ribald jokes & jests. :wink:

 

So, a good time was had by all, and I look forward to another agreeable Racoon visit next year. :ebomb: :) :cup: :angry: :omg: :zip: :evil:

I just had the pleasure and honor of meeting an old on-line buddy, M. Parrott. We met in the alt.philosophy USENET site back in 95. Along with two other great philosophers, R. Bennett and P. Shuttevaar, we solved many a worldly problem. The four of us eventually discovered we were ALL computer engineers! Three of us (minus Bennett) teamed up to build a website for the Dutch government. Parrott and I flew to Amsterdam to install the code and met Shuttevaar, and we became the best best best of friends.

 

Well, Parrott is making an auto tour of America's biggest cities to pick the place he wants to live in for the rest of his life. He stayed with Gwen and me for three days and two nights. We had a blast. It was such a "high" to be around such a polished conversationalist. Even after two bottles of wine!

 

Didn't get much sleep. I'm gonna try to get him on Hypography if'n it's the last thing I do.

USENET

 

Good old days. :phones:

 

Anyways, Jay-qu called me today, from Australia. While not the same as meeting in "real life" it was nice talking to someone halfway around the world. It was around half past midnight for him, and 2:30pm for me, and neither of us had any sunlight.

 

I'm still hoping to meet some Hypographers when I go to San Francisco in March!

[TheBigDog]

Probably not going to get to San Fran in March.

 

But if you get the opportunity go to Casa Lupe 2 in Sunnyvale. Spectacular Mexican cuisine. It is on El Camino Real near the Sunnyvale/Mountain view border. Behind the Arbys.

Behind the Arbys.

 

Is it just me, or is it kinda weird that there always seems to be a good restaurant behind the Arby's?

 

Nothing good ever came out the back end of an Arby's (or vice versa) but there always seems to be some hidden gem of local cuisine directly behind them.

 

I suspect I am the only Hypographer in my neck of the woods.

I dare say I will not be in San Francisco in March. [sniff] Wish I wuz. That is one beautiful city. Up in the financial district, where the streets are very steep, there is a wonderful little cafe at an intersection, don't remember the street names. But the cafe is Roxanne's. You could look up the name in the phone book. Their breakfast omelots are to die for.

 

I think it's behind an Arby's.

[pgrmdave]

Maybe we should resurrect the idea of a hypography convention sometime in 2007?

Its at the corner of Bush and Powell, which is west of the official edge of the Financial District (where there are no steep streets at all! all land fill north of Market and east of Kearny...)...

 

Its got horrible reviews recently on their Google link, so it may not be as good as it used to be (just like all of us ), but might be worth a try. I've never been there, so I've no opinion...

 

There's oodles of good places of course, you won't starve T...

 

Epicuriously yellow,

[Pyrotex]

It's at the...corner of Bush and Powell...

Thank you, Buffy!

It's a shame it no longer has the wonderful food I remember.

 

It was 12 years ago, and I was attending one of Werner Erhart's "Forum" seminars there in their national HQ. Roxanne's was just maybe 7 blocks away. 6 blocks were horizontal. Then we turned to the left and descended a block so steep that the two guys holding my handle bars (and I) were literally sliding down the sidewalk. I had the wheels on full griplock. We slid 50 yards, but did not fall. At the time, I found the food at Roxanne's fully worth the risk of life and limb. And the view.

 

...curiouser and curiouser

If anyone has any plans to be in the Washington DC / Northern Virginia area, give me a ring.
