gatortom64 1 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I spent 3 1/2 of my years in the Navy in the Bay area. Lots of things to in the area, but living there sucked. The good part is, I left an ex-wife there!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
TheWatchMan 0 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 considering you probably spend all your time on the internet, and are young, i think when you stop playing online you should go and party with friends.my 2 pence Link to post Share on other sites
ricker 0 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 So have you decided yet? I was thinking about going to Commerce for their Sunday/Saturday tourney. Link to post Share on other sites
bear187 0 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 commerce is great, not much to do in that area though, pretty ghetto, you should rent a car and go out to santa monica or Hollywood when you're not playing. Go to Crenshaw Blvd, I hear its good times. lol you're gonna feel bad when he gets robbed. Link to post Share on other sites

AcesUp46 0 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 So have you decided yet? I was thinking about going to Commerce for their Sunday/Saturday tourney.I will make my decision by tonight. The idea of playing a big live MTT is soooo tempting.... Link to post Share on other sites
AcesUp46 0 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 edit: my mom just told me the whole presidential scandal is over with so you most likely dont have to worry about not being able to access certain tourist spots.News just came in about bomb explosions in Mexico City. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,227673,00.html Link to post Share on other sites
AcesUp46 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 I've decided to go to San Francisco for the weekend. What's interesting or fun to do there? Any good comedy clubs or restaurants?Also, in case I get the poker itch, where's the nearest card room where I can get my quick fix? fyi, I'll be staying with my friend near 24th/Mission.

mrdannyg 274 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Haha, considering that this is a poker forum, the replies I'm getting so far are kinda expected. Anyway, just go ahead and shoot your comments about my options. Some of you might point out some things about my options that I had not considered. Here's my thoughts and considerations.1) Mexico City - I've visited it once and I really liked it. There's a really vibrant atmosphere in Mexico City that I really enjoy. Plus, I didnt' get a chacne to visit the archaelogical sites near Mexico City the last time I visited and I would really want to visit it.2) San Francisco - A really good friend of mine is there and I am really keen on visiting her. However, I'm not really that interested about the city itself. However, there are casinos nearby.3) Vegas - It's VEGAS!!! POKER!!!4) LA - Poker tournaments!!! And some FCPers are planning to be there..yeesh, i can't believe I had to be the voice of reason (or would've been, if i got here in time) - but we needed more info about the San Francisco girl.i know its a poker forum, but there's poker everywhere, all the time. vegas is great, but going it alone, when you could go elsewhere with friend(s) seems blah. i'm sure you can find some poker in san fran, and you've got a friend there so go see her.if there's any possibility of extracurriculars with this girl, it shouldn't even be close.fake edit - zach was right too.

IQCrash 1 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 If banging this girl is a sure thing, and that's important to you - then SF is a no-brainer. If it isn't a sure thing or you get enough tail as it is, come down to Commerce and play some poker with me Link to post Share on other sites

profxavier9 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I lived in Mexico city, and I go all the time...I guess it depends what you're looking to do, if you want to party you'll have a hard time finding a cool place unless you know someone that lives there, or else you'll ask a cab driver and they'll take u to some tourist spot like senor frogs and sht. I havent been there in over a year, and clubs change all the time but you can PM me and I can find out for you. If you want to sightseeing...well, I guess you can. Im not a big fan of seeing stuff even when Im in europe and stuff but you can go to "Castillo de Chapultepec" or take a 1hr trip to the Tehutihuacan Pyramids (sp?), thats actually pretty cool... Keep in mind Mexico is going through a crisis at the moment, because one of the idiot presidential candidates didn't like the fact that he wasn't elected so he told his voters to organize a peace strike and a lot of them have pretty much paralized the down town area of the city....Im not sure if this is still going on, I havent kept up really in the past month, but again, I can find out for u....If you're the partying type I would have recommended Acapulco instead, but during this time of the year it's probably 100% dead..Mexico City might be really good for partying at this time if you go to the right places, hottest/classiest girls ever and nonstop drinking is guaranteed.oh also, best food on earth in mexico city...I'd say vegas is a close second for food, but vegas is pretty much good steak sushi or buffet and thats about it....if you go PLEASE do not be the tourist that visits a different country and eats mcdonalds every day, I had freinds like that in Europe and it pissed me off. I could send you the names of good restaurants too.Once you get past the insecurity and dirtyness of certain areas, mexico city is great, tons of culture and you can have fun everywhere...edit: my mom just told me the whole presidential scandal is over with so you most likely dont have to worry about not being able to access certain tourist spots.amen to that my friend. i could go on and on about this for hours but i wont. Cultureless fools!! Link to post Share on other sites

There's some cool bars in the mission and tons of places to eat.As far as poker, Lucky Chances is the biggest one that's really close. The players are just as bad as you've probably heard about California players. Link to post Share on other sites
yourboygsarida 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 so here is a little info that may (or may not) be helpful:places to eat:The Stinking Rose: if you like Italian food and garlic this place is the ****. the food is sooooo good, but has lots of garlic. which to me makes it better. It is in the North Beach district/little italy. I'm sure if you look it up you can find it.Cheesecake Factory: This place has all types of food and it is realllllly good. Their desserts are bomb but there is always a wait so if you wana go, show up like 45 mins before you want to eat then walk around Union square. It is in Union square in the top of Macy's. Union square is sweet too.Max's Opera Cafe: not sure of the best location of this, but it is a deli-like place with a lot of SF feel.Things to check out:Golden gate bridge is pretty sweet to walk across. It is free (besides parking) and has some sick viewsThe St. Francis Hotel at night: This is in union square and if you can sneak into the back in the elevators that go to the top, you will get one of the nicest views of union square/the city at night around.Ghiradelli: Best chocolate in the world. enough said. Make sure you visit the factory place it is right by one of the cable car turnarounds and the desserts are unbelievable and the chocolate is bomb.sorry im not much help on the clubbing or bar scene im not quite legal yet Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the places the guy a few posts up posted were places I consider complete nightmares (Cheesecake factory, etc...) Kinda depends on what you're going for.I have Friday off and have been wanting to play a live tourney lately, I'll check and see if there's one running during the day.

That's kinda too expensive for me. If they have a cheaper tournament and it ends by 5-ish, I'll definitely be willing to go. Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki_N 17 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Ok, so I've set my mind on going somewhere this weekend, from Thursday thru Monday. Here are the 4 options I currently have.1. Go to Mexico City with friends.2. Go to San Francisco and visit a friend.3. Go to Las Vegas for poker.4. Go to LA and play in some events in the Commerce Holiday Bonus tournaments.I'm pretty much indifferent towards the 4 options. Any inputs? I understand that there's some unrest in Mexico due to the disputed Presidential elections and the troubles in Oaxaca, but it should still be ok. I've only been to Vegas once and have never been to San Francisco or LA.Vegas Baby! Though I LOVE San Francisco so much. Link to post Share on other sites
