California (Bay Area, Northern) SF Chinese New Year Parade 2013 B&G & Shoot Feb 23rd

I've dropped a turbo-charged 2 liter engine in my Hoveround, btw. Mobility should be no problem, but I'm afraid I may have some focusing issues.
 
Okay, new mods on the loose. Time for the Bay Area group to represent and see what it takes to get a post deleted.
 
Meeting time/place for Parade?

Meeting time/place for Parade?

Shall we meet at the MoMA cafe or the 4th St Bar and Grill at 3:30 or so? That would give us a chance to BS a bit before heading out to shoot parade preparations.

If you've got a better idea for either time or place, let her rip!
 
The 4th St Bar was fine last year - but does it have mobility access.

In my box hunting for the P&S challenge, I've found my first digital camera :
A tiny Canon SD10 with 4.0 Mpixels; a fixed 39/2.8 lens and 1.5" LCD. Circa 2003 - It still works !

If nothing else we should do the 4th ST B&G due to their extraordinary service and friendly staff. Wonderful people at that place. I think the front doors can swing wide so the Lark and Hoveround should have no trouble fitting in.

The SD10, I know it well! Bought one for my GF at the time, tiny little things.

@Steve- We certainly will raise a glass...or two. In my case it will be Diet Coke but the gesture still applies :)

Wonderful if you like interacting with staff obviously not winning their battle with crank addiction.


Work this weekend is going to keep me away. I hope the parade goer-to-photographer ratio is below 1:1 this year.
 
Today's the day gang. If you're planning to meet up it's the 4th Street Bar and Grill at 3:30. I'll probably be there closer to 3.
 
8 rolls of film stuffed into my pockets, G2 in hand. Looks like it will be a windy cool night out there.
 
That was fun and action packed.
Hope you all got a better spot than me.
I was on the wrong side of the vehicle cut in.
It also kinda sucked with the barrier police.
Fortunately by about half way through I managed to get and stay infront of the barriers.

Lots of good camera spotting - several Fuji XPs; many Leicas and a Mamiya 7.
