Thanks, all this helps heaps. My friend works for an accor hotel over hear, so he can get us a pretty big discount on accor accomodation anywhere, so that shouldnt be a problem. As far as spots go, very open to suggestions. The brick banks were the ones i was thinking of, and ill be sure to hit up some touristy skate spots ha. would love to see third and army if i got to san fran. Even if its too cold, or raining, or windy, or capped, or whatever!
