Look into the city club of san francisco. Great venue, they have good food/catering. Central to Bart stops and close to hotels around union square. 5 minute ride to north beach or south market. Plenty of bars and restaraunts in the area. (bars are important) If the city club doesn't work there

Just so you know, part of the problem too is that Debian (I think) ships with waitforcert=0 in a release in which Puppet thinks that means keep trying rather than exit, which means that your puppet client will just hit the server as fast and as hard as it can. The easiest way to track down
