SFista reality check?

Okay, I am thinking of going to a wedding in Santa Cruz in May. Locals, does the following seem reasonable? And, who's interested in meeting up?

Thursday May 13: Arrive OAK mid-day (this involves a 6:30 am turboprop flight, whee!)
Visit city, hang with peeps. Night TBD, probably in city.

Friday May 14: Visit city, Caltrain to San Jose to meet friend arriving in San Jose airport at 4:30 pm and picking up rental car. Caltrain looks to run a lot of trains at rush hour on a weekday, so I could be flexible, and it seems like I can BART to one of many Caltrain stations in SF pretty easily. Right? Night in Santa Cruz with wedding people.

Saturday May 15: Santa Cruz, wedding.

Sunday May 16: AM wedding stuff in Santa Cruz, get dropped off at Caltrain station in San Jose at 2pm or so as friend flies out of San Jose. Looks like Caltrain runs every hour from San Jose to SF on Sundays. Night TBD, maybe in city, maybe at OAK airport hotel, because...

Monday May 17: 6am flight out of OAK. BART starts running at 4am, they say - if I were staying, say, with my cousin who lives in SF proper, would it be at all reasonable to get to OAK in time by BART? Then home, sadly long layover in ATL airport, home to ATH at 7pm.

So, for local SF folks, I would be available Thursday afternoon and evening, Friday until midafternoon, and Sunday evening. I think all of my SFista contacts are b.org or -adjacent, except my cousin, who is pretty game for meeting strangers (and is a genius heterosexual male Microsoft research employee, and possibly single at the moment.)

Um, you could totally stay with me on the 13th, as I live ten minutes from OAK. And I could get you to BART in the morning to run into the city & meet Megan or whatever.

Sunday night you can stay with me, too, and take a taxi/shuttle to the airport.

... do you like dogs?

Thank you! I am tentatively staying with my cousin on the 13th, in SF, and you saw Java above. But if either falls through I will call on you! I would like to see you - have we ever even met? Maybe once in Boston when I had an infant and was therefore zombified?

(I am fine with dogs. I'm not leaping with joy about dogs, but I'm not afraid of them or anything.)

I won't have the Wigglebutts here when you're here on the Sunday night. And my place (and offer) won't fall through. :)

Well, you could have some family emergency, or break your leg, or something!
