from Tahoe, PM with details and I'll try to make it! :hi:
FYI, here are some cool things to do here in SF:
Take a Mission district mural walking tour. We have one of the largest and most beautiful selection of murals here in our Latin area. A stop at one of the local taquarias for a burrito the size of your head is then in order.
Talk a walk on the Filbert Street steps. You start on the Embaracdero and walk up the steps through a wonderful earthquake-era neighborhood (with a flock of wild parrots that live there) and then go all the way up to Coit Tower where you can look at the depression-era WPA murals.
Give me a second and I'll think of some more cool things. :)
PRIDE WEEKEND! Of COURSE!!!!
This is am must do if you are in town for it -- from Dykes on Bikes to the entertainment at the Civic Center.

598 Valencia St
San Francisco, CA 94110
Cross Street: 17th Street
Phone: (415) 431-3351
A legendary taqueria known for its fresh ingredients and craftsman-like take on traditional antojitos.
In Short:
There's nearly always a constant line at this venerable taqueria, with patrons drawn from the entire spectrum of the city's wildly diverse demographics. Though tables can be scarce, most diners are willing to share. The highlights among the vast menu include tacos and burritos. The building blocks for these Mexican stalwarts, include four kinds of tortillas (from basic flour to red-chili); pinto, black or refried beans; 10 meat fillings; Spanish or vegetarian rice; and four types of fresh salsa.

Perhaps one of the most famous of San Francisco's stairways, the Filbert Steps deserve their acclaim. The stairs rise in three sections from Sansome Street to Coit Tower.
The lowest section is concrete and steel snaking up the side of a cliff which gives way to a wide concrete stairway. Reaching Montgomery Street, the steps cross the median with a short staircase. The upper section is nearly straight, running through a series of sculpted (and sculpture!) gardens.
The stairs are impressive for their length, their wonderful views of San Francisco, the well tended gardens on either side, and the beautiful art deco buildings along the way. One of the most spectacular buildings features three-story high reliefs of San Francisco.
