We wish everyone smooth travel to San Francisco. 

Weather in SF:  "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." 
This quote, attributed to Mark Twain, apparently was never said by him, but it is still apt. 

SF State University is on the far western side of San Francisco near the ocean, with fog and brisk wind. The temperatures average in the high 60 and low 70s (Fahrenheit) during the day and can drop to the 50s at night.  Bring layers - sometimes we have 10 -15 degree changes during the day.

Local hangout near SFSU campus-  The Lister is a place where many people like to go after meetings. However, you might also explore the larger cuisine scene in the city and venture out.
