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!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
