i dont have a cool story, just that my last scarf i really liked slipped off my neck when i was at thieves tavern and now i don’t have one to wear when i lurk through the summer fog.
and also, it would be nice to have a nice scarf for once.
Please and thank you.
i only moved to sf (from san diego) last august, my boyfriend drove and i flew into sfo a few days later. i stepped off the plane and into the fog wearing denim shorts, a t-shirt and a light sweater “just in case”. i learned real quick just how much i misjudged what summer in sf meant. thanks for the reminder that i’ll need to bulk up my summer scarf collection!!
When you meet someone in DP and the fog rolls in and the temperature sends you inside to continue getting faded. And you’ve connected with a like minded woman, who is wearing a scarf. To keep warm. Maybe later you use that as a restraint.
I always pack an extra scarf in my too-big purse to aid out-of-town friends who are improperly equipped for the SF summer marine layer. Doubles as Mission-area camoflauge! (’cause who wants to be the archetypal Tourist In One Of Those Black “SAN FRANCISCO” Fleeces?) One time a Texan Berkeley law student picked me up on our first eveningtime SF date. I selected a light black-and-gray plaid number, and said I was packing it for him for when he got cold later. He said with confidence he didn’t wear scarves. I packed it anyway. Date was successful, and he indeed froze, and I gave him the scarf, and he was grateful, and now I’m marrying him. True story.
I need to win this – I’m merely one item away from an Isadora Duncan style ending…
I just moved up to San Francisco for a summer internship from Southern California. When I left LA at the end of May it was 96 degrees at 9 AM. By the time I got to San Francisco, it was raining. I’m wearing my fall/winter apparel during my first SF summer… a scarf would be a great and necessary addition to it!
Help! I need a scarf RIGHT NOW!
I work at a publishing office downtown, and my desk is IMMEDIATELY UNDER the air duct. To make matters worse, it’s my first day back after an epic three day weekend of – FLU! Would you laugh if I told you I am eyeing the abandoned coats from officemates past on the rack across the office? Please, don’t, it may come to that.
Please help,
It’s Never Summer in My Cubicle
Because living in SF means having 46 scarves and I only have 45.
I’m a hockey mom. My 10 and 12-yr old have been playing ice hockey in the Bay Area since they were wee dudes. So while the sun in shining and birds are chirping, you’ll find me holed up in some cold ice rink yelling, “GO BLACKHAWKS” or “SKATE!!!” Because there’s no true off-season, I need some a scarf during the summer that transitions well in and outside the rink that doesn’t involve an acrylic wool blend. Help!
Mark twain said “the coldest winter I ever felt was a summer in San Francisco”. This quote streams through my head while I sit at Alamo square trying to soak up rays, or on the west end of Golden Gate playing disc golf in the bright (august) summer sun. I cant boogie and shake properly in an SF summer without a scarf. Would be much obliged if you kept me warm and stylish while I keep dancin’ in the streets all summer long!!! Cheers!!
It’s Friday, and the sky is a gorgeous clear blue. It’ll probably be lovely all afternoon, and I’ll say hey, let’s go drink beer outside after work! We’ll get there, and just as we step outside with our beers, the wind will start. My beer will spill, and I will be cold. I know this is true, because it happens every fucking week. I’ll be pissed, but less so if I have a lovely new scarf to keep me warm.
One time in the distant future (actually the past, like 3 years ago), the rocket ship (air plane) landed and we had finally arrived at Bay Area 51 (SanFran). It was my first time on that side of the delta quadrant (US) and I was really excited to observe the humanoids (hippie-hipsters) and mingle. Alas! Though it was June and the sun was out and shining the weather conditions were not as predicted! It was chillier than planet (city of) Boston in February! All the native humanoids were prepared for their climate, with Saturn like rings around their necks, made out of the softest fabric- it was out of this world! Quickly, I realized I would need one to fit in. Stolen Sunday to the rescue! Now I need one from the new cool summer line to continue to fit in, otherwise my summer mission (to hang in the Mission) might be aborted!
