The rules are:
- Clock starts from Doors open
- I must not run (unless I'm running late, in which case I am :p)
- I have hand luggage only
- Timed to the minute I arrive at the food court on my AT&T Motorla C168
- Nearest one to the correct time wins!

** Your answers MUST be in by 09:45 BST FRIDAY **
(thats 04:45 EST, 3:45 CST, 01:45 WST for those of you as that's the last time I can check my mail before being sent to purgatory)

The 1st Prize is Pam Ann - Come Fly With Me - Live! (and it arrived whilst I was away). Other Chocolatey prizes may apply. Wine gum prizes may also be available subject to me going to Marks and Sparks tonight.

Updated list

21 minutes: asya999
28 minutes: sfogate
32 minutes: Daringdoo
37 minutes: edlin303
39 minutes: skye1
46 minutes: lucky9876coins
58 minutes: goalie
Detained at INS for entering the USA more than twice in 3 weeks kevincm (at which point it goes to the time I made it to the border)

How can I say no to any sweets from Marks and Sparks!!:D If it is not too late to guess, my guess is 42 minutes.

Where is exactly is the Golden State Ferry Building to catch the ferry to the deck party?

Is it at the end of Mission Street on Embarcardo, which is not too far from the Intercontinental Hotel on Howard St or is it on Jefferson St (between Mason and Taylor)?

Sorry I am not familiar with the SFO, and I may need to get to the Ferry Building by myself from the college football party.

Effectively, yes.

I would call it as being at the end of Market Street (one street "north" of Mission) on the The Embarcadero ... but that's splitting hairs.

Look for this rather distinctive building.

Is there a dress code for the Gate Gourmet visit? I usually dress quite casual when flying, and don't want to underdress for the visit.

Any idea? such as no tennis shoes or shorts, etc.

Hairnets, I hope! :p

Are cameras allowed at the GG tour?

cepheid Sep 25, 2008 4:25 pm

Ooo, less than 24 hours now. I'm excited. :) Can't wait to see all y'alls. Sam, how come you're not coming? Had other plans?

Since there are so many Bay Area residents on this thread, let me also put in a shameless grovel for my attempt to get a ski lease in Tahoe for the upcoming season... if anyone is interested in sharing a lease with me (otherwise I can't afford it), please check out the thread linked in my signature.

See you tomorrow!
