Yes, I need a "date"! I don't like walking alone to the Fillmore from where I park. I'll email you details.
where do you park? Hunter's Point?
Actually, she's right to be careful in some of the neighborhoods around the Fillmore, particularly directly to the west down Geary (past the KFC), and anywhere more than a block or so south of Geary on Filllmore. I know of several folks who have gotten mugged down there late after shows, and cars get broken into all the time along there (on Geary anyway.) I don't park in either of those areas, just for my car's safety as well as my own.
I usually try to park on Geary to the east of the club, or on Webster alongside the Safeway. (But NOT in the Safeway lot--you'll get towed. The voice of experience here, sad to say.) Post or Buchanan are OK from a safety POV, but parking is tougher to find.
But if you're worried and/or parking is tight, pay the 6 or 8 bucks and park at the Japan Center. Money well spent.
