There is or was a Krisna restaurant in San Francisco I think at Cole and ???
near upper Haight where the N Judah trolley comes out of the tunnel there. 
I think there's on in the east bay too. 

At Penn State we used to eat cheap or free Krisna food three times a week, 
at the cooking classes offered on Tuesday, at the temple on Friday, and at
the temple on Sunday. The only time they preached/philosophized was on Sunday,
where they would lecture then everyone would chant and bang on instruments, 
and then eat. The trick was that they told everyone to show up at 5pm on 
Sunday, but they didn't serve until 7pm. So we'd usually show up then. They
were generally nice people, but I don't like the way women are treated as 
2nd class citizens in their way of life. The food leans a little to fried
food and oily stuff, but was pretty tasty. They would ask for donations, but
were happy to feed you for free. Once I heard the guy passing the hat around
say "Krisnas are poor, we need your money" and the head guy of the house
said "No we aren't, Krisnas are rich, but donate anyway." :^)

Anyway, at Penn State there would be 30-50 people at each meal and it was 
a great place to meet people of a vegetarion or hippie-counterculture type.  

There used to (maybe still is?) a weird coop in San francisco, I think called
Trees, around 22nd and Shotwell, that gave free meals on Saturday. It was
pretty cool, they would seat you in a waiting room like in a restaurant and 
then feed you great food, usually with some live music. The servers would
wear facepaint or even be in drag. I'd heard they used to be called "the 
broccoli people" or something like that, and then became "Trees". Supposedly
if you offered them money they'd ask you to leave. As far as I could tell it
was all word of mouth, you just had to know to show up on Saturday at the
right time and knock on the door. I wonder if it's still there or if anyone
knows anything more about this - it seemed pretty mysterious - supposedly
it was some sort of commune.

would make a real nice outing.

Another less well known trail runs along Coyote Creek from Hellyer Park to
near Anderson Reservoir (or so I've heard).  I've ridden parts of it on
occasion and there was very little traffic on it.  The terrain is very 
similar to the Los Gatos Creek trail.

That "someone" was me :-).  I'm very interested since I live over there.  I
might add that the Coastside Chorale presents their winter and spring concerts
at the Bach (she says, modestly, as a member of the soprano section).  The

can probably get a schedule for you.  Lemme check in tonight's Half Moon Bay

Miniature golf works best with fairly small groups of people, who do the
whole par as an unchanging group.  If the group is too large, it will hold
up all the groups behind it while every member puts their ball -- plenty of
socialization in the group, but a nuisance to the rest of the people.  If
the group is small, there will be lots of socialization in the small group
and the game can be fun, but there will be little or no interraction
bewteen the groups.

"Boinks" have traditionally been organized to get people together in
one place and allow them to meet and interact, moving from group to
group and from conversation to conversation, meeting people and making
new friends.  From that point of view, miniature golf is just about the
worst possible set up for a "boink."

As a matter of fact, there's a "Govinda's" here in Berkeley. It's on Stuart St.
just south of Telegraph. Ya can't miss it... it's part of a rather sizable
place of worship. I guess it's time for that obligatory mini-review (I know, it
should be in ba.food - oh well)...

The restaurant itself is rather small, with about 10-12 tables. The landscaping
as you walk in is remarkably, er, manicured. Inside it's nice and airy, lots of
windows and white. The food is all buffet-style. The selection usually consists
of 5-6 hot foods (2 rice, vegies, soup, main dish) and a decent salad bar.
Unfortunately, no ingredients are given for anything. When I asked what was
vegan, I got this far-away look from the devotee behind the counter... When I
rephrased, asking what was non-dairy, I got different answers each of the 3
times I've been there. Disconcerting, no?

The food itself ranges from downright bad to KindOfTasty, depending on what day
you go and which dishes you try. The soups tend to be bland, if not repulsive.
I couldn't get enough of the tofu (goulash?). They have fliers that list the
main courses each day.


Dinner, $5.00. Lunch, $4.00. Always all you can eat. They also take donations
for less than the printed amounts. (Your trusty reviewer has determined that
they'll take 2 bucks.)

A miniature golf boink, eh.

Sounds fun.  I used to go the the small indoor course at the Boardwalk
in Santa Cruz.  Maybe if we add few more "events" to the golf and bicycle
ride we can put together a "decathalon" and have our own Olympics.  It
would probably be more like the special olympics though.  Any ideas for
some other events?

The Bob Becker Bike Boink !!
'Smiles o' Fun



Three venues (venues?) were considered for the BBBB:
Coyote Creek Trail
Los Gatos Creek Trail
Baylands - Mtn. View and Palo Alto

I rode all three trails.  

As was pointed out by two people, the Los Gatos Creek trail is
*really* crowded with slow pedestrians and fast roller bladers.
Although a nice trail, it's probably not the best choice.  

Coyote Creek Trail is nice, but it costs $3.00 to get in, there
are limited facilities, and it gets hot FAST down there.  The
location is also not optimum.  Everybody would have to drive 
pretty far south.  It would probably be a good choice for a fall
bike boink in a few months.

That leaves us with Baylands.  This is not a bad deal for a 
first bike boink.  The location is central to most of us, the trail
is wide, it's only about 5-6 miles long, the scenery is terrific,
there is wildlife to view, there is plenty of parking, and there
are "facilities" and a restaurant at the small marina by the lake.
We can get burgers and brewskis after completing the ride.

So.......  How's about if we hold the BBBB at Baylands at 8:30AM,
Sunday, August 16th?  Baylands, BTW, begins at the end of Shoreline
in Mt. View - adjacent to the ampitheater.

Responses, Opinions, RSVPs will be appreciated.

I've spoken to several people and we decided that a Minature Golf Night would
make a very fun boink event, so I wanted to how many other people might be
interested.

I don't know of any miniature golf courses around here, so I'd be happy to
take suggestions from those who have been to one in the East Bay or South
Bay.  The event could be on a Friday or Saturday night, depending on what
is more convinient for people.  Since it's best to set tentative dates, I
propose the second or third weekend in August (Aug. 8,9,15 or 16)

One of the nice advantages about this, is that parents can bring their
children if the choose.

So, e-mail or post suggestions for locations.  Then we can choose a date
that will be convenient for the most people possible.

Cheers!

Well, personally I prefer something hilly, but since my commute home involves  
riding up Mission Peak, I can probably live without hills for one day.

There's a nice long trail that goes through(or to?) Los Gatos along a  
streambed, but I don't remember what it's called.  You can ride to the end of  
it, go through a little of Los Gatos, and end up on another trail next to the  
17 that goes up a hill to a resevoir.  Further beyond that is the hilly stuff.   
It shouldn't be too hard to manage a resevoir ride, but I don't remember the  
name of these two trails.  Anybody know?  There's usually lots of people on it,  
so there's good sightseeing along the way.

Anyway, I second the motion for a Bob Becker Bike Boink.
