tealinDear Mr. Meloy,
I have undertaken a fact-checking expedition and have found several errors in your song 'Grace Cathedral Hill.'
1. It's actually called Nob Hill, Grace Cathedral just sits on top of it.
2. It doesn't cost 25c to light a little white candle; the little white candles are ostensibly free though there is a suggested $5 donation at the door for upkeep of the facitilies etc.
3. Hyde Street Pier is closed on New Year's Day
4. There is nowhere on Hyde Street Pier that sells hot dogs even when it is open. By my reckoning the nearest hot dog is at least half a block away.
5. Hyde Street Pier would not stink of fish and beer, as it is a national historical park. Perhaps you are thinking of Fisherman's Wharf.
I hope this clarification is useful to you and that corrections can be made to future editions of the song.
Feeling better now,
Tealin
In no way did I try to visit the places in the song on the day specified therein. What kind of nerdy fan do you think I am? That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
If you want to hear the song you can do so here. It's a good video but I am a little miffed because a Decemberists/FLCL AMV was my idea, though admittedly the song I had in mind was 'The Bagman's Gambit.'

Oh, NO! Fisherman's Wharf = tourist trap of death. Like, black hole of all tourist traps.

We might totally have run into each other!
I tended to avoid Fisherman's Wharf but unfortunately where I wanted to be (Hyde Street Pier) and where my parents wanted to be (anywhere else on the waterfront) necessitated walking through it a few times. Aieee.
