## Notes

What with Outside Lands in Golden Gate Park today, we worried that weekend bridge traffic might be heavy, but coming over at 9 am solved that problem: it was busy, but not too bad. All in all, a good drive over.

And the cherry in top was parking half a block from our meeting spot. Boo ya! 
We get to the designated meeting spot at 10 am, as planned, and meet our ringleader at the head of the line. Perfect!
