all my past bingo markets have been really fun (and my affinity for marketable scavenger hunts remains high) so I'm back for another round:

after spending ~10 days in Berkeley for LessOnline/SummerCamp/Manifest, I've accepted an offer to look after someone's house and kitten in SF. I'll be staying here (in the south side of the city) until mid-August, at least. if I decide to stick around, this market still only counts for the time of my sit which is set to end 17 August.

open for responses! add suggestions of things I should do/see or things you think I may encounter - if you prefer, comment with a suggestion and I'll add it for you.

if something resolves and you think it may happen again, feel free to add it back. I'm not likely to do sightseeing things or "try this restaurant" sort of stuff more than once for the sake of the market, but things like "learn a skill" or "talk to a stranger about something they're passionate about" and the like will hopefully resolve yes over and over.

Relevant bits:

  • I'm already here in SF.

    • I used to come here every month to spend a weekend with a friend, but that was a long time ago and it's been a while (years) since I've been in the city.

  • I'd love to add events and things that are coming up as a way of tracking suggestions!

  • I have a car and a bicycle.

  • The kitten has an auto feeder so I have flexibility in the day - happy for suggestions outside the city/day trips.

  • I'm not much of a "top things to do in..." type, and keen for some more irreverent suggestions. Don't be shy.

  • I love restaurant/market/food recs but I don't eat much meat (mostly chicken and fish when I do).

  • I'll take photos for posterity when I can.

I'd like to resolve lots of Yes answers! I'll bet on this market in the direction I think is most likely and won't change my bet at a late stage. I will adjust bets as time goes on, though, to reflect what seems realistic.

I'll resolve n/a at my discretion but count on it for junk or spam answers including really easy Yeses (yes, I plan to wake up each day) or really easy Nos (no, I won't yell insults at Elon from outside of the twitter office) or absurd/impossible ones (no, I'm not going to pack it all in and hike the PCT). just play nice and add real things, okay? 🧡
