Narrative:
Pit ground cleared us to taxi from FBO to runway 28L via taxiway north, cross runway 28C. Holding short of runway 28C on taxiway north, I became briefly confused because I was tired and at a strange airport at night. Ground controller seemed to think I had stopped on runway 28C. I had not. He (ground) gave me progressive taxi to runway 28C full length for departure. Local cleared us for takeoff. Controllers were very helpful. Traffic was light. Should have asked for progressive taxi to begin with. Sorry. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated that he was eventually cleared down taxiway north for takeoff on runway 28C. However, there was no comment of wrong doing by the controllers or contact from anyone from the FAA.
