in Sexpigeon - Hello. I have a problem. Help me sort it out. So... on Sexpigeon
and, if you want to silk screen 'em and and sell 'em locally, email me and I can give you some advice. it's not super duper easy like with Zazzle (whose quality is really great) but you can sell 'em locally.

If you start selling these on Zazzle or something, I'd totally link to it. Very cool stuff!

We have had some success with our N is Near and the Nowhere in Particular ones...

I was not particularly thrilled about backing the "nuclear option" myself (this as someone who promoted it on my blog). However, with a Mayor committed to excessive work orders and taking MUNI money and spending it elsewhere and an MTA that refused to listen to any ideas that would have come up with a better solution this was all we had left, and well, it happened.

Had the Mayor been more engaged with the Supervisors and the MTA in advance, they surely could have come up with a better budget that recognizes times suck now, but that doesn't mean inflicting long term damage on our infrastructure, or pissing away federal dollars because we'll get things like ticket machines and have no people to service them when they break down, etc.

The whole thing is just a sign of a lack of leadership, and it's really sad since surely a city with as many smart folks as ours can show the way, not follow along on Failwhale Lane with everyone else.

And apparently that bureaucrat is really angry at Julie and instead of doing his job is taking shots at her...and meanwhlie I get longwinded emails from the Mayor's people begging for more money to pay for more $100,000 parties. So Silly!

I hear ya. When I first returned to SF after a short term in LA, I lived at Oak and Divisadero for about 2 months and I liked Popeye's just fine, as all the "old" divisadero attractions.

People who move to a neighborhood and immediately declare everything Not Upscale an "eyesore" and use the power of Civic Complaining to run everyone out not like them need to either move to Walnut Creek or deal.

PS: "entitled skinnywhiteyogabitch" and the granite countertop thing FTW. :-)

I keep meaning to do a post or a story where everyone talks like CSI, where they explain every single thing they're doing day to day..."Hi I'm riding the N Judah" "Ah Yes, the N Judah, a trolley system which uses electricity to drive a car on rails to your destination..."

antje or the worst of the worst on today's shows... Grey's Anatomy

Those actors have to read their lines and then think "Do I REALLY have to talk like that? who talks like that?"

Good article Anna!

in Gratuitous Civic Issue I Feel Strongly About Wednesday on guerrilla curatorship
Limo drivers who do this know they are committing a crime. I took pictures of one who pulled up to the Wharf in the summertime and was offering rides and he got REALLY upset when I took pictures and threatened to call the cops. He eventually left and I told folks who at first were like "WTF?" about how it's not only illegal - it's dangerous as the driver has no obiligation to honor these shifty deals. There have been reports of limo driver reneging on the deal and extorting more money out of tourists.

Better to hire a limo or town car yourself, and know what the deal is, instead of taking a fake cab ride instead.

not only is one not allowed to touch the geode, they aren't allowed to give it a hug either, no matter how tough a day it's had. Sad geode!

Hey! Don't forget the Adama for President shirts from 2008 - we shipped some to the set in June 2008, and we even got Eddie James Olmos to wear one: http://www.adamaforpresident.org !

No, it doesn't throw any wrenches :-)

The model you describe is a winner but it works mostly when you have it operate on a high end kind of deal, like the Sundance Kabuki here or the Arclight in LA or the others in LA that now operate like that.

The Parkway is an awesome place, but it has a location that's not easily accessible by BART and AC, and can't always get the movies they want. They mostly do 2nd run films and were really hurt by the holders of the rights to Buffy shutting down the "sing along" nights they used to do with that musical episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

It was a cool place though. I spent my 32nd birthday there with my girlfriend watching godzilla movies and so on. It was awesome.

meganallison yes thank you!! I was going to amend the post to this effect after reading more details, but you've pretty much done it for me. (Yay!) :)

My comment would be, and I speak purely speculatively and without working knowledge of the Parkway's specific situation, isn't there a middle ground between the low admission price of $5.00 and closure? I mean, I've enjoyed my time at the Parkway each time enough to warrant $7 or $8, and you know those baby brigade people do too. But as you say, it's not very transit accessible and that's definitely limited my trips there versus say, the Red Vic or Balboa.

she is really cool and makes a good point. because drug violations are based on weight, crack has a bigger sentence than coke, even though they are essentially the same thing.

meganallison Awesome. That's a great piece of the historic theaters puzzle. Adaptive reuse is really key with things that were so specifically designed; I feel like if we could fast-track Type 42 ABC licenses for struggling single-screens we could save a lot of them. RIP Fox on Market. :(

i think any one or all of your stories would make for a great SF based film...and it doesn't have to cost a fortune...they are so desperate for stuff actually filmed here at the City they'll do anything....most of the TV Shows this fall "set" in sf are primarily filmed in LA...the only problem is you have to pay for PA's wheras in LA they work for free...
