We're back in SF and we've got events to announce
Hi,
We are back in San Francisco and finally over jet lag. Our last days in Paris were great, we walked all over the city, once from Montparnasse to the Jardin du Luxembourg, to Rue Mouffetard and back up towards St Michel, and on our last day from the Louvre along the Seine to the new museum Musee du Quai Branly and to the Eiffel Tower. Our last night was spent with good friends in Montmartre chatting, eating, and drinking. But enough about France today, I'm here to announce two events we have coming up.
On Thursday October 12, we will be heading down to Kepler's, a great independent bookstore in Menlo Park, to talk about the book and take part in their Journey the World with Kepler's program. We hope to see you there!

San Francisco: The Unknown City
Thursday, October 12, 2006, 7:30 p.m. at Kepler's Bookstore

Arsenal's Unknown City series of alternative guidebooks designed for tourists and hometowners alike turns its attention to the City by the Bay: San Francisco, where stories of notorious murders, city hall scandals, and untold tales of Chinatown, Haight-Ashbury, and Castro Street share pages with secret dining pleasures, shopping meccas, and nightclub hotspots.
From the Summer of Love back in the 1960s to the Winter of Love in 2004, when the mayor of San Francisco made the city the center of the nation's gay marriage debate, San Francisco has consistently been one of America's most colorful and offbeat urban oases. From pot dispensaries in the Lower Haight to the nightspots in the heavily Hispanic Mission district to private karaoke rooms in Japan Town, all of San Francisco's hidden nooks and crannies are exposed.
Helene Goupil and Josh Krist are editor and publisher, respectively, of InsideOut Travel magazine, a bimonthly online travel publication that caters to the traveler/adventurer at heart.
