PKD FEST FAQ:
Q: Where, exactly, will the festival be held?
A: In the Humanities building located on the main campus of San Francisco State University,
(South West quadrant on the Campus map on a following page).
1600 Holloway Ave
San Francisco CA
94131
The Humanities Building (which is quite a bit down campus from Holloway Ave) is located on Tapia
Drive. I have reserved a large auditorium (HUM 133) as well as two large lecture halls where we
will be meeting. There will also be a room with books for sale and some art displays. We will have
signs up around campus directing you to the fest.
[we need a campus map, a map of the humanities building, and a map of the surrounding parking
on Tapia, etc]
Q: How will I get to the festival ?
A: You can drive (there will be ample, free parking), take public transportation, or arrive by taxi.
You can find directions for all of the above at this link, and on a following page:
http://www.sfsu.edu/~parking/directions/
Q: What about food?
A: We will also be providing free, bottomless coffee, and tea. On Saturday there will be a few
places open on campus for lunch, serving sandwiches, pasta, salads, etc. On Sunday fewer places
will be open. You can find a list of all on-campus food here: http://www.yelp.com/list/sfsu-eats-sanfrancisco
You are,of course, free to bring your own lunches. There will be a sit-down dinner on Saturday
night. Sunday’s dinner will be more casual: pizza and salads. We hope to serve alcohol on both
nights.
A: What else is there to do?
Q: Despite its name San Francisco State University sits on the southern border of the city, far from
the bustle of downtown. So there is very little in the way of restaurants and stores in the immediate
area (other than the nearby Stonestown shopping mall). But SFSU has a very nice campus that
you are encouraged to explore, and there will be lots of places where Dick-heads can congregate
away from the presentations.
Q: So, there will be, like, more than one presentation going at the same time?
A: At times there will be two lectures going on simultaneously, and you will have to choose which
to attend. While this will involve some hard choices, we will be recording all of the presentations so
there will be, at some future point, a chance to watch the presentations you missed.
Q: Are there any rules?
A: Just the usual ones:
•
Smoking only in designated areas (you can be fined for smoking in restricted areas). See
map for list of designated smoking sections.
•
No illegal drugs on campus.
•
Clean up after yourself.
Q: What time will the festival end?
A: We have access to the theater and facilities until midnight on Saturday the 22nd. We need to be
done by 10pm on Sunday. Of course there are always bars to be visited after hours.
Q: Should I bring anything?
A: It’s up to you: snacks, favorite PKD books, anything you want signed, money for our book sale,
pen and paper.
Q: What will the weather be like?
A: Cold, most likely. SFSU’s proximity to the ocean causes a unique micro climate. Most days are
overcast and chilly. There’s always the chance the sun will peek out, so wear a t-shirt underneath
your sweater.
Q: What about this Berkeley walk?
A: On the Friday before the fest (Sept 21) we’ll be walking Dick’s old neighborhood in Berkeley. We
need time and distance totals...
Q: If I’m flying into SFO, how should I get to my hotel and the fest?
A: It’s possible to take Bay Area Rapid Transit, or BART train from SFO to the Daly City BART
station where you can catch a number of buses to take you to SFSU or your lodgings. There are
also taxis stationed here. There’s also American Airport Shuttle 415-202-0733. $17 for first
passenger.

Location key
Lighter shade indicates path continues underneath overhang.
* Note: The map and information on pathways are limited by the scale. The accessible route should be clear to a person at a location, while the dashed line is intended to indicate where keener observation may be necessary to locate the accessible route. Pathways are generally
asphalt and subject to weathering, erosion, uplifting, and other changes that may create navigational issues. SFSU is committed to maintaining the accessible route. Please report any irregularities to Disability Programs and Resource Center, 415-338-2472 (voice, TTY).
