This sums up my feelings as well. The bookstores, restaurants, cultural diversity, and beautiful location all end up outweighing the painfully self-conscious trendiness of the place.Bob Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12073807225519106277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005132770907882258.post-81251759136181292362011-04-01T14:12:08.049-04:002011-04-01T14:12:08.049-04:00Borderlands is wonderful and that area of the Miss...Borderlands is wonderful and that area of the Mission has really become a treat over the past few years. I'm moving away from SF and California entirely this month, and it will be things like this (and EndGame in Oakland) that break my heart to have to do so.Robert Saint Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063044279947754807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005132770907882258.post-71824367708372232182011-04-01T14:07:13.058-04:002011-04-01T14:07:13.058-04:00What, no photos?What, no photos?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005132770907882258.post-5874662513980178462011-04-01T13:25:43.227-04:002011-04-01T13:25:43.227-04:00I lived there (in the East Bay) for the bulk of th...I lived there (in the East Bay) for the bulk of the 90's and there was never any shortage of what a friend of mine referred to as "Urban Attention Seekers." During my time, we had a lot of vampire types, with pancake makeup and cloaks and junk. I spent a week in SF last summer, and didn't see any steampunkers; however, I may have been unconsciously shutting out anyone who was trying too hard to get me to look at them. <br />I could talk trash about the Bay Area for hours on end, and yet I would move back there is a second if the right opportunity presented itself.Aoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145284080419502886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005132770907882258.post-87107032599528830062011-04-01T12:44:26.381-04:002011-04-01T12:44:26.381-04:00Sounds like steampunk fashion's reached critic...Sounds like steampunk fashion's reached critical mass in the year since I left SF. Interesting.<br /><br />I did once see two people in full plate armor hanging out in Golden Gate Park, but I think the high water mark for weird fantasy fashions in the Bay Area was probably back when the SCA was getting started.David Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133630988557116729noreply@blogger.com
