You are Invited to the 2009 CITASA reception at the ASA "Sailing for Social Capital" (Ok, it does not have the same ring as last year, but it will be at least as much fun!) We have chartered a boat and will sail around San Francisco Bay, past Alcatraz Island, Sausalito, and the Golden Gate bridge. Thanks to the generosity of our friends at Routledge and the journal Information, Communication and Society<http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/rics>, light d'oeuvres and drinks will be served. Date: August 8, 2009 Time: 6:40-8:00pm Location: Pier 39 (Fisherman's Wharf) Directions from the Hilton<http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=333+O%27Farrell+Street,+San+Francisco,+CA+94102+(San+Francisco+Hilton+%26+Towers)&daddr=Pier+39&geocode=FTKSQAId6yq0-CGOWutedU_WKQ%3B&hl=en&mra=cc&date=03%2F25%2F09&time=3:38pm&ttype=dep&noexp=0&noal=0&sort=> Directions from Pier 39 to the Adventure Cat<http://www.adventurecat.com/bay_cruise.html> catamaran: When you get to Pier 39, stand on the sidewalk and look towards the water, do NOT go down the center where the shops are, but take the left OUTSIDE walkway. Go towards the sea lions & look for a gate with the letter J on it. That's our dock. Important Note: Pier 39 is a 15 minute cab ride from the conference hotel (apx $12). The last ASA session of the day ends at 6:10. The boat must depart promptly at 6:40. The boat has a max capacity of 48 people - the first to arrive. We sail in light rain, if the event is canceled due to weather a message will be sent to the CITASA email list. Picture of our boat: http://www.adventurecat.com/image_gallery/bayride-l.html
