Powell San Francisco California
Sunday January 8th 2012 is the 132nd Anniversary of the death of our beloved Emperor Joshua A. Norton; and to commemorate our fallen leader we plan a celebratory jaunt through the streets of San Francisco.
The Itinerary:
-Meet at the Powell Street Cable Turn Around on Ma...rket Street at Noon.
-Ride the Cable Car to the Cable Car Museum and Lunch
-Lunch at the Café Gallery
-Explore the Cable Car Museum
-Leisurely walk through Chinatown to Old Saint Mary’s to pay our respects to Norton.
-Coffee shop for tea or coffee
We’ll be meeting at the Powel Street Cable Car Turn Around on Market Street at Noon and head out to lunch and the museum at 12:30pm. Cable car rides are $5 (free if you have a muni pass) or alternately you can walk up (its not far)
-We’ll be having lunch at the Gallery Café, a small café across the street from the Cable Car Museum, serving hot drinks and good food. Next we’ll head over to the Cable Care Museum (FREE) and see the wonders that keep the Cable Cars moving.
-Eventually when we are ready, we’ll head out to the spot our Emperor fell, Grant and California in front of Old St. Mary’s.
-Those willing and wanting we’ll head to a coffee shop for a hot drink. Location of this will be decided on the date (we’re trying for a cheaper place than last year, possibly Bread and Cocoa)
Last year we had about 15 people who showed up which was great. The Café Gallery isn’t huge, but it fit us all, if we end up having more folks we may have to divide up a bit but shouldn’t be a problem. This is a fairly open ended event, just a simple outing for the steampunk community. A great chance to show off new steam finery gotten over the holidays or at Dickens The days event are fairly fluid, so if you can’t make it to the meet up at Powell you can meet us up at the Café or Museum. Being a steampunk event, please come in your steamy/diesely/Victorian/dandy/whatever finery, or you can say screw it, I just woke up and just show up.

Back Yard Coffee, Redwood City, CA, 965 Brewster Ave

White Elephant Gift Exchange at 8pm, once we have the place to ourselves. Please bring a gift worth no more than $10 or that really was just collecting dust for the exchange. ;)
Start time subject to change.
The Beer and Wine License of this establishment is now in effect, therefore coffee will not be the only option. Also some food is available for purchase, such as panini sandwiches and salads. It is a stone's throw from Redwood City's Theatre District which has a great many restaurants to choose from.
There is a bus depot across the street and it is near to the Redwood City Caltrain. Call 530 277 7353 for ferrying, but only if you don't want to walk the three blocks through a safe and clean neighborhood. Walking along the East side of the Caltrain tracks and then crossing at Brewster Ave is recommended.

Please note: The nearest BART is Millbrae but that is almost 15 mins away (30 min roundtrip), so please try for another method of getting near.
