SF Decom - theme camps participating?

Post by seluronking » Sat Oct 01, 2005 5:37 pm

Does anyone know what camps are participating? What DJs are spinning? What the hours are? We are planning on flying in from the East Coast and are curious to know what's going on...
Thanks!

I know the Tea Temple and the BRC Rickshaw Fleet will be there for sure.

Parking is going to seriously sucks. If I remember, last year it was pretty much cruise along the streets until you find a space. Not sure what was across 3rd street on the bay side, never went over there.

It depends on how you are getting there. From south of SF it is easy, Take 280 North or 101 North to 280 North. Get off on Mariposa, turn right going down the hill and start looking for parking.

From the North and East it sucks. Major construction on the Bay Bridge has various exits fucked. Follow signs for PacBell Park, take 3rd street out. When you come to Mariposa, start looking for parking. Indiana street is 2 or three blocks up the hill on Mariposa from 3rd. Just follow the burners. The good news is that getting home is MUCH easier! Get on 280 South at Mariposa, go to 101 North (not the most direct route, but easy for someone not familiar with the streets) to the Bay Bridge.

If you are coming over the Golden Gate, you are just screwed. That is called paying your Marin tax. There is no good way to get to anywhere from the Golden Gate.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

Hell- if you're coming from within the City, you're screwed. We get a group together and cab. Trying to park anywhere near Decompression is just asking to be put in a bad mood.

Cabbing/ Public Transit is the way to go. Park somewhere downtown or near transit lines and bus or cab down.

I've never been to the LA Decompression, so I can't compare them. I can say that I've never failed to have a blast at the SF one. The day-time is a great chance to meet up with people you haven't seen since the BRC, and night at Cocomo is a good (though less dusty) version of BRC parties.

Both L.A. and S.F. Decoms were better last year.

A contingency from Kamp Apokiliptika has been deployed.

The end of the world will be better next year.
