Line Conf 2016
San Francisco has so many good lines. As connoisseurs of San Francisco's hidden treasures we, the organizers, have decided to curate a day of SF's best lines, along with talks on topics like: Queueing theory, Lines of Poetry, Flatland, Professional Line Waiting, Lines that Can Change Your Life, and more! Talks will last the duration of the line.
We'll kick off in the mission on the morning of Saturday, the 16th (feel free to take a Lyft Line to the starting location) where attendees will wait to register. Then we'll set out together. Participants are not required to purchase anything at any of the stops, and should consider bringing snacks and water. We'll also have folding stools available for purchase.
(Rough) Schedule:
10:00am Line-up for kick-off at Boogaloos at 22nd and Valencia – Receive your lanyard and optional folding chair.
10:30 Queue at Ritual Coffee on Valencia
11:15 Tartine! (voted #1 best line in SF 2014)
12:00pm Bi-Rite Ice Cream (voted #1 best line in SF 2015) / Dolores Park bathroom line
1:00 Taqueria Pancho Villa
... and then line up for the 49, which will take us to ...
2:30 Swan Oyster Depot (voted #1 best line in SF 2013)
3:30 Bob's Donuts
4:30 Biergarten (after-party)
