Robert, A group of us remained at 19th and Delores, under the bell,
until sometime past 2:30, when Phoebe arrived. Nobody thought to bring
any kind of sign, but Alex had a Wikipedia t-shirt. The Facebook page
mentioned 19th and Delores (which I put in myself, knowing that Delores
Park is a big park and often takes some time to find people). Brion
couldn't make it and Jon was unavoidably detained in Berkeley; but the
rest of us were all there.
We went to get ice cream at that time, because it seemed unlikely that
anyone else was coming; and we remained on the lookout for you, since
you were the only one left unaccounted-for. We then returned to the
park around 3ish, where Eugene met us and we sat there until well past
4:00.
I'm sorry you couldn't find us, and that nobody provided a common phone
number. Maybe we should make a point to exchange numbers. A number of
us were checking email regularly to see if anyone was still missing, but
maybe someone needs to be in charge of signs and signals. I think it's
Jon, actually, but if he doesn't show up then we're FUBAR.
