some stuff there from previous expiditions...

Any gig you might want to go to in the bay area will be listed here. Lots of stuff happens across the bay (the "east bay"; Berkeley, Oakland, Richmond, etc) and late night transport back to "the city" can be limited.

For records, Amoeba on Haight St (Golden Gate park end) will blow your mind.

Likewise, take a stroll around the side streets of the Mission district and you'll find some of the best burritos in the Northern Hemisphere.

I also enjoyed strolling around the North Beach area, quite nice and has lots of (counter) cultural history.

Final tip, don't assume that if its warm all day you can walk around at night in your t-shirt. Sometimes the mist rolls in off the pacific and it can get really chilly.

Have fun!

HEY BUDDY, YOU GOT THE TIME?
IT'S ALWAYS 4:20 ON HAIGHT!

There were some amazing metal gigs in a place called The Pound which is a bus ride
from the city.
There's a good punk/rock bar on Haight called The Molotov, some classic tunes on the
jukebox and free shots off the polespiked barman.
You can find out about gig in Amoeba or Rasputin.
As Damo said, Mission is the place for burritos, falafel and deadly second hand shops!

QUICK WITH THE GIG LISTINGS THERE LADS WE'RE ABOUT TO LOSE THIS ONE

I saw a video of Les Claypool playing a bass with a whammy bar... that was cool

Good luck Conor!

Conor, How long will you be around SF for? Try to stay until august or else come 20 hours north.
Anyway try to check out the "landfill" or earthquake dump area. I know that sounds vague but you should be able to find out about it. It's an island with loads of folk art and cool trails. It's hard to describe but recommended.
If you're going to a gig in Burnt Ramen you should probably be careful. I've never been (because i was afraid) but that's what i heard.
Also free food daily at Food not bombs in Berkeley. The food is actually decent too. You can watch oogles fighting at said park too.
One last thing: men in adult sized nappies are not appreciated round those parts.
Damo, you do realise that Mexico is in the Northern hemisphere right?
