You may also want to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated.

H, Laurie Armstrong was the PR contact for a long time, a great lady, but she is no longer the contact, although she still works there. It's Angela or Tanya. I am with the Bay Area Travel Writers so we have quite a bit of contact with the SF CVB.

Charlie I enjoyed that story, very interesting, thanks.
Ed Wetschler February 22, 2010 at 10:38pm

Good piece, Charlie; lots of info that people in the know didn't know.
David Paul Appell February 22, 2010 at 10:34pm

Peter, if you look in our San Francisco group, you'll notice that CVB official Laurie Armstrong is a member here: contact. Good luck!

Passing on a quick (and admittedly late-notice) press trip announcement from Mexico publicist Cessie Cerato:

I have a FABULOUS press trip to Cancun Feb 27-March 6! Its VERY flexible & has fantastic fashion, culinary & adventure angles.I'm looking for fashion, food & adventure media outlets. Help me spread the word!

Here is story for travelers that is important in light of changes in credit card law. I posted it on ConsumerTraveler.com at http://snipr.com/ugicm. Feel free to link to it or spread the word. Travelers need to learn about the valuable freebies and onerous fees their credit cards have.

Hi, I'm currently updating and writing articles about San Francisco for a travel website. Does anyone have any individual contact details for anyone who works for the San Francisco Tourist Office and their PR officers. Thanks.

I'm glad that people are foolish enough to try to go after JK. Simply because she's strong-willed enough not to bend or listen to lawyers who might advise it's cheaper to settle than fight. She has a great sense of right and wrong.
José Balido February 19, 2010 at 4:05pm

And then there's the other side of plagiarism: when a hugely popular author becomes a lightning rod for lawsuits, just because there's a good chance of a juicy settlement. I don't know whether JK Rowling lifted concepts or not from Willy the Wizard, but it's not the first time this has happened to her, nor will it be the last. Read all about it and make up your own mind!
