Expect more SFN-related writing in the nearish future.
My apologies for the lack of anything even halfway approaching a liveblog of today’s Slow Food Nation tasting session – I got off the BART train on the wrong side of town, then hoofed it across the way to the tasting, then hoofed it all the way back because BART ONLY RUNS ON ONE SIDE OF TOWN and I didn’t want to deal with finding a bus. (Have I told you that I hate San Francisco’s transit system? Perhaps I’ll save that for another day.) In any case, a list of the great many delicious things I ate this afternoon is now up at C11.

I’m not even sure how to respond to that, except to say that I know this.

My memories of the BART are it being more helpful than that. But, then, I aways rode it within someone who knew what they were doing and had little input into our travels myself. Perhaps the passage of time and my general ignorance at the time have conspired to rose-colour my perceptions/memories.
It is, all the same, helpful to have som kind of light rail transit, no? I’ve lived in cities without and it’s a big suckola.

The problem with BART is that it doesn’t GO anywhere – it runs through downtown, then to the Mission, and then to the airport. But if you want to get anywhere – ANYWHERE – on the North or West sides of the city, you’ve got to take a bus (confusing) or cab (expensive) or cable car (expensive and tacky) or – as in my case – hike (hard on your legs and feet). San Francisco has its own city-wide mass transit system, of course, and I’m all in favor of local governance and quirkiness, but the fact is that BART itself is worthless for out-of-towners to do anything except get to Market or Mission.

I read the Slow Food Dispatches, and now I’m hungry.
