Big day for me. I joined with some other JOH guys at the US Airways baggage claim and caught a van with them to the University of San Francisco. I met David Brown, Drayton Perkins, and Peter (all South) and two crew members Steven Goldmen and Brian from Chantilly. We checked in at USF; we received t-shirts, jerseys, shorts, a RoadID dogtag, and signed approximately 1 million thank you cards. No two signatures of mine were alike and disintegrated to V squiggle D loop. Very nice.
After assembling our bikes (no harm yet), Drayton, David and I made our way around to find a Kinkos and food. We found some tasty onion rings at the People's Cafe on Haight St. and I was able to visit Haight-Ashbury, which was really neat, although I will assume its seen livelier days. It was lined with cafes, tatoo parlors, and botiques. The weather was warm and I was glad to see a new part of SF.
Back at USF we had a few meetings on advocacy, safety, rules and finished with a team ritual. Dinner was Dominoes sponsored by a local Pi Alpha (people who have done JOH or GUF or Build America before).
