Walking Buddies http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/dangerous-writers-night-of-writing-dangerously/threads/2506 coderster My bf and I will be attending the NOWD and staying at an inn on Bush St and plan on walking the 10 blocks to the event. We're willing to meet up with solo walkers so that no one has to walk strange streets alone. So, just give a holler if you'd like a walking buddy or two! I know one person messaged me before the site wipe, but I didn't write down the user name, and I'm not sure if my message was received, so ... yeah.

We are very close to the event (he can't walk long distances) at the Hotel Galleria. So if anyone checks their maps and are along that route, we'll be happy to walk with as well! Having attended last year, may I suggest also that solo out-of-town walkers pre-program the number of a couple local taxi companies into their phones before leaving? We managed to catch a cab after the event, but they were not as abundant as one might have hoped. Cab-sharing is also something we might want to arrange in advance. Any other suggestions from locals on this topic?

I've always been on the southwest side before, which is where the Galleria Park is, and Union square and Lori's diners. But I'm up for walking with people - I can probably even meet up at someplace like the Galleria Park.

People who are taking the BART in from somewhere should all get off at the Montgomery street station. From there Montgomery goes straight to the Ballroom. I need a walking buddy back to Montgomery station from the event and that's the closest one to the event. People walking to the event could meet at Montgomery station or could meet anywhere along Montgomery. Any other ideas?

I'm staying at the Westin on Market, which is only a block away from the Mosser. Would you be willing to walk back with me? I was hoping a big group would walk to the Montgomery Station and then from there I would just walk down Market. Are you interested in walking together past Montgomery Station?
