Denial. No one's going to be honest about not having events there.

Not denial from me, I was thinking of how the city might be trying to make it so people can get there more comfortably, which includes less chance of experiencing some of SF's problems. I don't think it's a very good plan because it's expensive and far into the future, but I think it's a part of the misguided approach the city is taking.

I've actually walked from the CalTrain station to Moscone. It's not all that far.

(of course, your hotel is probably farther.)

So have I, haha.

Except I've never been to Moscone. Just past it, dozens of times.

I like Chaat Corner. That's more of a landmark for me than Moscone.

Edit: wow, I've heard your voice before. You did an interview w/ Nassim Nicholas Taleb that I watched.

I hosted him. It wasn't an interview; in fact, he's the only person I hosted where I showed him the intro beforehand (which was his own writing)! Didn't want to mess around with this guy /s

Haha, cool. I would like to meet him one day. And I have some more Google Author Talks to watch.
