What should I do in San Francisco tomorrow (5/15)? I'll be there all day and night.
Well, it would be uncharacteristic of me to not say SF MEETUP!!! But I jest. You should go to the Mission and get a burrito.

You could check out the first annual Inner Sunset Street Fair.

To clarify, the Asian thing is once a year, and Bootie is a 3x monthly dance party that originated here in SF but now occurs in a bunch of other cities as well.

(I'm told that) Bay to Breakers is worth seeing, but it's Sunday morning, so it doesn't help OP unless the time range is flexible.

If you aren't already asleep.... this is always my favorite morning in SF:
Get up really early in the morning and walk through Chinatown as it's waking up - there are few people on the streets, but it has a distinctly village feel as people open windows, hang out laundry, go out for morning shopping. Then walk over toward North Beach and watch the folks doing Tai Chi in the park across from City Lights - get some espresso and pastry at one of the Italian places in North Beach - and then go into City Lights and browse for poetry on every floor.

Take the #33 bus from the Castro to Haight Ashberry (or wherever else you want to go--just make sure you get that part of the route in). It takes this incredible turn part way through and you get an amazing view of the city. Thirding Chinatown/North Beach as a place to wander around, though I also love the Castro, and if there's anything good at the movie theatre there, you should go so as to hear the live organ.

If you want to go to a show, go to Pianofight throw rotten veggies night-- it's theater/sketch where you get a plate of vegetabes to toss at the actors when you don't like what they do-- lively, fun, increasingly world famous (covered in the NY times, the UK press, etc), and only $25 bucks. byob

Wander around Chinatown/North Beach.
Green Apple books on Clement St.
I dunno - what do you like to do? What kinds of things do you like? You can probably get cheap tickets to the Giants game, or see it free from the McCovey Cove side area.
