To celebrate the completion of our house alt-erations, and the arrival of most of our friends in San Francisco for Usenix, we're throwing an "alt" party here at Toad Hall. You-alt are invited. The party is on Saturday night (June 25th), from 7:30 until it ends. We will supply the usual drinks and munchies; you should bring alt.self, alt.friends, and if you want alt.drinks or alt.munchies you should bring those too. There will be no tobacco smoking in the house, but confirmed addicts can step outdoors. Since it's San Francisco, you may find alt.sex (.safe), or alt.sources of alt.drugs, but we guarantee alt.rock-and-roll and dancing. Tours of the scenic toadpond and hackers' jungle will be available upon request. And since we're in the Haight-Ashbury, you can wander out into the Saturday night Haight St. scene, with 4 or 5 music clubs, N bars, bookstores, many restaurants, etc. Catch us at Usenix for recommendations of places to eat dinner so that you can just walk to our house afterwards. Toad Hall 212 Clayton St. (between Fell and Hayes) San Francisco, CA 94117 +1 415 221 6524 7:30 Saturday, 25 June 88 Our house is in just about the middle of San Francisco, half a block north of the Panhandle of Golden Gate Park (that big green spot on the map). Parking is limited; if you drive, look for a spot along the Panhandle on Fell St., or in the school lot on Hayes between Clayton and Cole. If you transit, take the 21-Hayes bus or the 5-Fulton from Market Street, which is about 3 blocks from the hotel, and get off at Clayton (ask the driver). This costs 75c exact change. You can also take the 7-Haight, get off at Clayton, survey the street scene, then walk 4 blocks. Cabs are easy too, and will cost between $5 and $6 or so. Crash space is available, and the transit runs all night. So, come one, come alt, and we'll see you there!
