:page_facing_up: MEETUP PLAN:
Howdy, NorCal Folks!
What better way to kick off the Lunar New Year (Year of the Dragon) than with a good old-fashioned Postcrossing meetup? :slight_smile: My friend Tina @mailedwithlove and I will be cohosting this event to be held on Sat. 2/17. We know it’s President’s Day weekend and many of you may already have travel plans, but if your plans entail staying in town, feel free to swing on by!
In anticipation of a good turnout, we decided to err on the side of getting a larger venue, so we will be meeting at the (formerly Westfield) San Francisco Centre mall food court.
Our friend Oce @ohhsayy (of Santa Ana WPD meetup fame!) will be designing the card and it will be LNY/ dragon-related, of course. :smiley: :dragon:
Hope to have more information to share with you soon!
If you know you’re down to join us, feel free to comment in this thread and hit that blue RSVP button at the top… Much appreciated!
Take care of yourself and see you soon!! :heart_decoration:

GETTING HERE VIA BART

If you take BART into The City, you can get dropped off quite literally at the mall directly from the Powell St. station. After taking the escalator from the subway level up to the ground level (which is actually still “basement” level, just bear with me), you will see a “Westfield” sign hanging from the ceiling. Once you exit through the turnstiles, make a left toward the red pillars.



This is the entrance to the mall. Go through the doors and when you meet the escalators inside the mall, make a left. You will see a few food options and some tables near the escalators – this is NOT the food court – you want to make a left, go down the long walkway to the Food Emporium.


Note that the food court is actually on the “Concourse” (basement) level – so if you emerge from BART you’re not going up a level. If you are coming from the actual “Ground” level (e.g. entering the mall via Market Street main entrance), you are on Level 1 and will need to descend one story to the Concourse.
