Events in San Francisco in October?
bradlane: there's always the computer history museum in mountain view, if you're just in the area for a few days.also, when i was there, i found a lot of the typical "touristy" things fun and interesting - fisherman's wharf, street car stuff, Alcatraz, Golden Gate....even just walking through Chinatown.hell, if the weather's nice while you're there, rent a car and drive down the PCH - one of the most beautiful drives in the entire country.  there's more to life than computers :)
