FYI, October is usually pretty warm in S.F., but, there are places to tether, if need be. (Even Piers 30-32, maybe, or, the ABC parking lot on Sunday.) I just thought Fleet Week would be a great venue for the usaballoon since the military would be out here, and it would be very patriotic, and educational if abner is still handing out the pocket-size Constitutions.
Oh, my idea was since KSFO is "Hot Talk" radio and the usaballoon is a hot air balloon in the unique shape of the U.S. flag, they both have "fired-up" qualities that impassion people. (Something like that.)
If you all can make it happen, that'd be really grate, imo. : )
