[foms] FOMS 2013

[Tracey Jaquith]

I think we've gotten a discounted group rate from the Kabuki hotel with other conferences.
It's still a short bus ride or cab ride (or I suppose 2.3mi walk 8-) from Kabuki to here,
but the 38 and 38L(L = limited stops/quicker) run ~ every 5 minutes

(and the 38/38L goes right downtown and to transbay terminal (which is what I do, coming in
from Oakland) if anyone was staying with friends, at hotels right downtown, etc.)
