1. Can't resist

are you gonna wear some flowers in your hair?
:D sorry and btw that sounds cool, I hear it is a great city :shrug: though no one in my family has ever been there to the best of my knowledge.

[mark414]

10. you are welcome to visit anytime dude

it is a great place...i can't wait to get back out there

[JohnKleeb]

12. I will some time

:), this next chapter of my life is gonna be great.

[LeftCoast]

2. Welcome to my home town!

It's not perfection, but it's as close to it as you can get (IMHO) :)

[hippiepunk]

3. Have you ever been there before?

Or is this just a weird spontaneous decision to move to a totally different place?

[mark414]

4. a bit of both

i was there, but only for a week (in january)

but it is also a weird, spontaneous decision to move to a totally different place

i just talked to my buddy who lives in cupertino and he is itching to move into the city as well so we're going to find a place together...can't wait

[notadmblnd]

11. Rents are some of the highest in the nation

be prepared to pay through the nose. We visited relatives there back in 89 just before the earthquake. I loved the city. The temperature was just right and the best thing I found was that there were no flying bugs. No mosquitoes or flies or big fat juicy things that fly onto your windsheild at night.

[mark414]

13. yeah it's going to be rough

but i am going to get another job this summer to save up, and i'll be working full time while i'm out there

my friend out there has been there for 3 years and he's found a way to make it work...and if HE can, anyone can B-)

[frylock]

5. bring money..

lots of it.

[Huckebein the Raven]

6. Lucky dog you. I want to move there

Sigh one day....

[mark414]

8. so do it

that's what i'm doing...it'll be rough for awhile cause it's so expensive but if you think you can make it work than you can

until then...you are more than welcome to visit

[Huckebein the Raven]

25. I hope you have great time there

:)

[jonnyblitz]

7. i lived there twice. one of my favorite places ever...

was lucky to be stationed there twice while in the navy and lived there for a bit when i got out of the navy...
lots of trouble to get into there..for me anyway. :P

[mark414]

9. off topic, but

i have been meaning to tell you this

i saw those pics from the boston meetup and you have some sweet ass tats...i am getting another one next weekend and i can't wait

how many do you have anyways?

[jonnyblitz]

20. thanks!!

i have quite a few, around 9 or 10, a few big ones. i should stop and get an exact count but i just got a huge sleeve tat finished that also covered two of my older tats ...

thanks for the compliment! :hi:

[hfojvt]

14. are you gonna bicycle there?

it has a reputation for being very very hilly. Steep too, and not just rents and gas prices.

[mark414]

15. it will be hard

but thankfully they let you bring your bike on the subway or strap it to the front of the bus if you need to...

i will certainly get into good shape in no time though

[Dr Fate]

16. You will love it. I call my city "The Alamo."

Come make your last stand with us!

[Yavin4]

17. I Did The Same Thing

I went there for a week, and I decided to live there. I rode out Bush I's term in S.F.

It's a great city. You'll love it. You'll be blown away. The best people in America live in the Bay Area. You'll be able to have smart intelligent conversations with almost everyone there.

The history. The music. The place just rocks. It just rocks.

Congrats and good luck.

[Floogeldy]

18. I went there once, on a business trip

I had a meeting way up in a skyscraper, looking down on the foggy bay and bridge. It was breathtaking.

Very cool place.



B-)

[hfojvt]

19. are you planning to visit Condaleezza Rice? n/t

[sundog]

21. great city...

lived there for a year... I would go back in a heartbeat

[ET Awful]

22. SF rocks :). In fact, the whole bay area rocks :)

You'll love it. Knowing your taste for music, SF and Oakland have the best underground hip-hop scene you'll ever encounter outside of NYC. You get regular club appearances by Del, the Heiroglyphics, Souls of Mischief, the Coup and a few dozen others :) Some great stuff to be heard and seen (don't even get me started on some of the graffitti in SF, some of the murals I've seen there beat the hell out of anything I've seen in NYC).

You'll love the place :).

[Danmel]

23. I was gonna ask if you're independently wealthy

SF is a really great city- enjoy it!

[mark414]

24. ha, far from it

but i will be working full time, and i have a friend to move in with

and i have been scoping out rent prices and they're really not THAT bad...a little steep, but then again i'll make more money so it'll even out

[Lindsey]

26. SF is my favorite city of all time! I'm so excited for you...

I live in Southern Cal. and go up north to the Bay Area at each and every oppotunity. I KNOW you can make it work - FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS and your heart! :-)So here's an early WELCOME to this wonderful state -and the home of Barbara Boxer!!!!!!!

[MissB]

27. Couldn't you have picked a warmer month?
