Getting there….
For those coming by BART: Get off at 24th Mission BART station. Crepe House is about 3 1/2 blocks away. When you arrive at BART (there are two exits, take either one), you will be at 24th and Mission Streets. Walk down Mission towards 23rd Street. Turn left on 23rd (you’ll see a Walgreens). As you pass Walgreens, you will see an awesome mural on the side of the wall. Keep walking down 23rd (2 blocks) to Valencia. When you come to Valencia, cross the street (stay on Valencia) and turn right. Crepe House is in the middle of the block between 23rd and 22nd Streets on Valencia.
Driving: Parking is hit-or-miss. You might be able to find non-metered parking on one of the side streets off Valencia, however, please be aware that there is a two-hour parking limit for vehicles without residential parking stickers.
We look forward to seeing all your lovely faces!
Happy Pride!

================================
The Deaf Queers & Signing Allies Pride Brunch takes place tomorrow! Yay! Looks like it's going to be a full house again. If you haven't yet RSVP'd, please do so and let us know you're coming!
A couple of quick updates and other info of interest:
1) You can purchase discounted SF Pride Deaf/Disabled Grandstand seating tix from me at the Brunch. The suggested donation is $40, though tix are being offered on a sliding scale. Pay what you can. All proceeds to benefit SF Pride.
More info about the Grandstand: http://www.sfpride.org/grandstands/
2) There will be no Deaf Tent at this year’s SF Pride. There will still be places to gather in front of the main stage and the Grandstand area.
3) A new organization is forming for Deaf Queer and Trans People of Color (DQTPOC) and we will have our first meeting right after the Brunch. (We love our allies! However, please note that this first meeting is strictly for DQTPOC folks. Non-DQTPOC partners/dates are encouraged to head over to the nearby Dyke March after the Brunch and we'll meet up with you there.) Our meeting will move to a different location after the Brunch ends, so no need to leave Crepe House if you’re operating on DQST (Deaf Queer Standard Time).
