xp - the douchey one where Newsom supporters had parties back in the dot com days?

Almost certainly. Although I think that whatsisname had a thing there when I was there. The guy that lost to Newsom who liked Pavement

incidentally what the hell was that crazy ass swank restaurant bar that used to be on like, commercial near north beach? it closed at least eight years ago, maybe longer.

haha, yeah. Him. That guy is SO SF to me.

matt gonzales who then ran with Nader. he's a nice enough guy. I think SF is ungovernable like the rest of california.
ooh Matt Gonzales - he was sooooo dreamy - he had art exhibitions in his board of supes office

Suck it, losers. Makes your Metreon like like a fucking sandcastle
akm, i live at 34th and Tele. so oakland.. it is genuinely sunny here (after noon) about 90% of the time. no joke. Emeryville sucks shit, it is too near the water to have good weather, I think. also, it is a faketown.

sunny does not equal warm, however.

the 500 club might be the most hated bar in my life. fuck those bartenders, fuck the jocks at the bar for calling me names.
― a repulsive person and/or a repulsive sphincter (the table is the table), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:13 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, but i wear cut-off t shirts most days. around 6 i put on a sweatshirt. and around 9, a jacket.
the Cyprus Club is what I was trying to remember.

Whoa, really?
My experiences at the 500 have been pretty civilized.

Adam's nipples might disagree about the civility there.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:26 (fourteen years ago) link
It has to be mentioned every time the 500 club is brought up, doesn't it?
― Tolaca Luke (admrl), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:28 (fourteen years ago) link
That place makes me think of Sparks. And heartburn
xp it does!
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Monday, 9 August 2010 19:28 (fourteen years ago) link
Every single time I've been to 500 it was because some other place was too crowded.

Thanks for some of the restaurant ideas listed--My son and I made it to Taqueria Cancun in the Mission, and to Muraccis(Japanese Katsu curry) in the financial district. Both were yummy.

was in san francisco for an hour last friday (ate at hanoi vietnamese place on 19th & taraval) and for a few hours tuesday night (ate at kyoto sushi on van ness & sutter, drank at mcteague's saloon (lame) and then later in the SFO rental car return garage). also, floating on the russian was the nicest ever, plus some people brought boxer doggies in their canoe and the boxer doggies were wearing shoes so they was high-steppin'

FYI: I'm going to be at Rosamunde Sausage Grill at 5pm, wrapped as skin-tight as a sausage and leaving precious little to the imagination for those who crave such a thing.
Come and get some.

re. floating down the russian.
what company did you use? did you do the 10 mile canoe trip?
― djh, Friday, 20 August 2010 15:57 (fourteen years ago) link
SOAR in healdsburg was my chosen outfitter, $50/head. 8 mile trip, took us a little less than 4 hours, no big whoop. we did a lot of paddling though, like more than you're probably supposed to do for it to be considered a "leisurely" voyage, and we finished well before everyone else. two things i did not like: 1) inflatable canoes that lack a keel and therefore tend to spin all over the place unless you're real good about paddling on each side equitably; 2) girl that checked us in had a nasty attitude and a raging case of the mouth herpes to match. beer and sandwiches-wise, there's an A&M market two stores over that'll hook you up before you go, and SOAR will let you borrow one of their coolers if you don't have one. oh yeah and remember to put sunscreen on your legs, too - i forgot.

Burke's Canoes is $50 per canoe (metal) , you can fit 2-3 people in each one. it's got free transport back to the start. do it on sundays as there's way less river traffic then on Saturday. Also on Sunday if you have time you can hit the Sebastapol farmer's market for lunch on the way in to the river. Speaking as a child of agrarian immigrants, this is one of the better farmer's markets in the bay area.

sebastapool's market is good!
there is this street food festival in the mission today. might go.

street food festival was fun but predictably overcrowded. saw no ilxors. did eat some stuff from the beretta stand.

Rogue Wave and TMBG in Stern Grove tomorrow (free!). We will probably go, because one of my 3 yr old sons loves "Groat Wave."
