General Information
Can’t wait to get back to San Jose…
Hal David wrote it, Dionne Warwick sang it, and we embrace it, even if we’re still not sure why Do You Know the Way to San Jose? featured so prominently in Helix. But San Jose isn’t the quiet, temperate suburban city it was when Hal David was writing about us.
San Jose is northern California’s largest city, and just traded places with Detroit to become the 10th largest city in the US We’re home to industry, high-tech companies, and great educational institutions.
Getting to San Jose is easy. Nothing can beat the convenience of flying into Mineta San Jose International Airport (just north of downtown), but if the price is right San Francisco International Airport and Oakland International Airport are both reasonable options. If you prefer the train, Amtrak and several regional rail lines are served by San Jose Diridon Station.
The weather is still temperate, though. San Jose was a great city for the 2002 Worldcon, and it’s even better now.
