The Best Way to Take in a San Francisco Sunset

Here's what you're going to do at TIMF 2012: about 20 minutes before sunset (when the sun is touching the tops of the buildings/imminent fog), buy yourself a ticket for the ferris wheel and get in line.  If you get too close to the front of the line before the sky turns bright orange, jump out and go to the back of the line again.  The best five bucks you'll spend inside the festival gates.
