I'll probably bring at least a half-dozen visitors with me.
I've also convinced a friend from Oakland to show off her 
latest coil masterpiece -- an 11 foot tall, 10kW coil that 
throws 10-15ft arcs.  Her coil has an interesting physical 
aesthetic, in addition to having a variable speed rotary, 
switching the 60Hz HVAC.  
BTW Jim, how is the supply of 208/220 VAC?  I'm sure that 
there's plenty, although I've never explored much beyond the 
building's 480 VAC circuits.
The underground steam plant and the salt-water fire hydrants
on site also provide a good earth connection.  In fact, just
about all the convenient earthing points have already been 
connected together electrically, and terminated into a 50ft
8AWG lead for the convenience of any visiting coilers.  ^_^

As far as I know there are only about a dozen folks so far that
indicated an 
interest in a Teslathon in San Francisco and there is TONS of room
outside 
the warehouse. The space inside is very limited as far as actually
running 
coils inside due to low ceilings and being full of stuff. There is a
bathroom 
at the far end of the building and some fire extinguishers. There is 
unlimited space to park cars(or tractor-trailer rigs). There is a
railroad 
track (sunk in the ground) that passes by the building (off street)
which 
should provide a good ground.
