I will be visiting SF and Mountain View Friday-Sunday this weekend. I am interested in computer and mechanical engineering. I would love to visit your startup. I would also like to visit a Maker Space, surplus electronics store, or something else of that nature.
I am also looking for recommendations on hostels and good food, especially some great Mexican.<p>My email is in my profile.<p>Thank you

Well you picked a hell of a weekend to come to SF. You may as well go watch the parade and party with the natives because it's going to be a shit show all over SF anyway - <a href="http://www.sfpride.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.sfpride.org</a> :)<p>For maker spaces in SF there is TechShopSF in SOMA and Noisebridge in the mission though I think they are renovating the later for about a month. Any of the Mexican places on 16th or 17th between Valencia and Mission...<p>PS. Why don't you put a bit more about yourself in your profile?
