Excited to meet everyone who I often see on twitter and such. Nice to have it in my own backyard.

I won't be able to make the conference, but would love to meetup with folks Friday night!

Oooh boy!

To those who've never been to SF, I would recommend Haight-Ashbury, the Mission district, and walking either the Golden Gate or Coit Tower. I would not really recommend the trolleys, tbh -- an overpriced rough ride with elbow-to-elbow tourists squishing you from all sides -- but that's just me. Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf are a bit overrated and expensive. It's only good to see a whole lotta sea otters.

But do what you wanna do!

Also, BRING COATS. I know it's California, but it could be 80 degrees here in San Jose and 55 degrees just an hour north in SF.

I'm driving up Wednesday night and staying with a friend. Also my first ONA, although I've been to a few journalism conferences at the Powell St. Hilton.

I won't be joining ya'll at the bars but I'm down for street cars and Rice-a-Roni with Greg.

Just registered. Looking forward to meeting everybody and hanging out. Never been to SF, getting there Wednesday afternoon to maybe do a little tourist thing.

Woohoo! I'm there! It's in my back yard, and I'm totally down for some bar-hopping.

I arrive Thursday evening and leave early Sunday morning. I'm ready to ride the street cars and eat some Rice-a-Roni.

Me three. I'll be getting in on Wednesday evening and leaving on Sunday.

This will be my first ONA as well. I too am pysched. Since it's in my home city: Hoping we can find a bar before hand and hang out.

Believe it or not, this year will actually be my first trip to ONA. Psyched!
