I'm marking thursday on the Calendar.

Likely the Argent Hotel. It is at 50 3rd Street.
House of Shields is at 39 New Montgomery, a mere 2 blocks away, a straight shot and easy walk up Jessie Street from the front of the Argent and an easy walk from the New Montgomery BART station.

From there, you can go to dinner anywhere in the area, up on Market or around the SOMA neighborhood. Rickenbacker’s Yesteryear is at 133 2nd Street (look for the motorcycles in the windows). If you like Thai food, try OSHA on 2nd. It is located at 149 2nd Street. Great cocktails and I highly recommend the Volcano Beef!

Yes I was right, it Is the Argonaut, at or near Fisherman's Wharf

495 Jefferson Street at Hyde · San Francisco, CA 94109

This'll only be my second time in SF. I'm really looking forward to meeting you all. When the time gets nearer we can exchange some cell numbers.

Looking forward to meeting you. Thursday would work great for me. It's St. David's day (something to drink to!) The Argonaut is a nice hotel but it's right in the middle of a major tourist spot. The places Mark recommends are better venues for local atmosphere. I'm always up for Rickenbacker's Saloon. House of Shields usually has live music. The elegant Pied Piper Bar is just across the street in the Palace Hotel. All these are easier get to via BART. Out-of-towners avoid driving into S.F. and Fisherman's Wharf is a difficult trip after work. Pity you'll miss the WonderCon convention the following weekend.
