EVENT IS SOLD OUTTHANK YOU
<
WE WILL NOT HAVE TICKETS AVAILABLE AT DOORS

Hello Party People!

We hope you have heard the news about the Bay Bridge East Span closure. Here are some facts you should know about:

#1 The party is ON and will be exactly as we have planned it! A majority of the of the event has been completed (you should see the ship!) and all of the vendors and staff can get to the island from San Francisco today. TI traffic is being allowed on at the 2nd & BRYANT ON RAMP IN San Francisco. Muni 108 is running extra buses, and taxis, limos, RVs and cars are allowed on the to the bridge as long as they state their business and destination on TI.

#2 IF… the East Span of the Bridge is not open on Saturday night, you will have the following options:

Teacherbus.com will be hosting a free BIODIESEL shuttle running from civic center plaza (Grove @ Larkin in front of Bill Graham CC) from 9pm-5am.

MUNI 108 buses are running normally and will be running all night. CLICK HERE FOR MUNI 108 SCHEDULE

Taxis will be running all night. Yes. Taxis! Most taxi companies will run to island and have been taking passengers every weekend this month to all events that take place on the island. Fares are standard, the island is less than 5 miles of freeway from downtown SF.

Carpooling is highly encouraged. We have limited parking, and share the island with several business and residencies. All vehicles can enter the island from the on-ramp at 2nd and Bryant. Once on the island you can follow signage to California Avenue and the parking lot for our event. We are safe to assume this option will be available all weekend if and when the bridge reopens.



COMING FROM THE EAST BAY

You have several options.
DRIVING
– Traffic is being diverted to the San Mateo Bridge and the Richmond Bridge/Golden Gate Bridges to enter the city. All routes are open to these bridges. Once in SF, make your way to 2nd & Bryant and tell the officer you are headed to Bldg 180 for GHOST SHIP. You will be allowed access to the lower deck of the bridge to drive to Treasure Island.
BARTING Bart will be operating normal hours this weekend (as of 4pm 10/28). You can take BART to Embarcadero Station and walk one block to Mission & Fremont to the Transbay Terminal. Follow signs to the 108 bus (top level inside terminal before midnight, outside terminal on Mission St after midnight) Pay $2 and take the #108 to the first bus stop after the bus turns right onto California Avenue.
You can take BART to Civic Center Station and walk down Grove Street past Larkin and pick up the Teacherbus.com shuttle running from 9pm-5am.
You can also take a cab from any BART station in San Francisco to the island.

Breakfast of Champions, 2010 - Same time, same good friends, new location: Kelly's Mission Rock! 2

Posted by 8Ball Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:24:00 GMT

On Jan 1st, 2010, Breakfast of Champions will be at Kelly’s Mission Rock!

That’s right, after something like 10 years on Florida Street – first at Potrero Brewing Company, later at Whisper – we’re moving Breakfast of Champions to a new venue, and we need YOUR help getting the word out.

When you’re in the same place for as long as we were, people don’t expect you to ever leave, and by now we’re guessing there’s a significant portion of people who just magically arrive at BoC on automatic pilot. What we’re hoping is that word of this move will spread like a like the latest internet meme, and when 6am rolls around on Jan 1st, 2010, all our good friends are happy and safe at Kelly’s. We don’t want to hear about poor inebriated souls staring hopelessly at the boarded up windows and locked doors of the old Whisper location.

So here’s the sound bite that you can spread to your friends: BoC is at Kelly’s this year! Don’t go to Whisper, it’s closed!

In related news, we’re selling tickets in advance through Eventbrite this year. The ticket is the same price, plus a small service charge, but people who buy in advance will get to enter in the shorter, faster, pre-paid ticket line.
