Hi all!
I'm coming to San Franscisco to spend a couple of days at the Wikimedia Office on Feb 7/8. But before that, I have a weekend to spend in SF... well, I might already have something for Saturday, but Sunday is still free.
So... any recommendations what to do and see? where to hang out in the evening? I'd like to see a bit more than the office and the hotel, and I'm not so much for the touristy stuff...
ideas?

If you like doing hikes, you can do what I did last Saturday and walk the Land's End Trail. It's about a 3km hike, which you can extend by going back on the El Camino Del Mar Trail via the Legion of Honor, and/or by visiting Sutro Heights Park, and/or by continuing into the Presidio toward the Golden Gate Bridge. If you're in the SoMa area (where the office is), take bus 38L to Geary & 48th. The trail starts near the parking lot at Point Lobos Ave.
Another fun thing to do is get lost in Golden Gate Park, which is a huge (roughly 7x1 km) park in the middle of the city. Lots of cool stuff there, and lots of bike rental places around the edge of the park.
