Rain Check
In our experience, the fastest way to make the rain stop is to finally buy that umbrella.

Since it's going to rain forever and ever amen, here is a short list of places to buy an umbrella on Haight Street. Cal Surplus: 1541 Haight – 415-861-0404 (They also sell good cheap rain boots.) American Apparel: 1615 Haight – 415-431-4038 Robert's Hardware: 1816 Haight – 415-221-4142 Stuf (The place with the giant purse hanging out front): 1612 Haight – 415-551-7883 Cheap Thrills: 1687 Haight – 415-252-5687 (ALERT: They normally sell them, but they're out right now.) And of course, you can always try your luck at the Goodwill. Let us know if we missed any!
