Re: WWDC Security concern

Well, I'm coming from Turkey for WWDC, and I've also booked in Mark Twain.
So hope it will be fine (at least not worse than Istanbul).. It seems just a
mile from Moscone (from Google Maps), so it'll be OK to walk in a pleasant
day. If not, a 4$ ride is always welcome (if you'd like to share the cab,
please don't hesitate to contact me :) )

Thank you for all the info you shared.

See you all there;
