San Francisco and what to do in it

hey, Sushi S--- and Sushi of G--- are not very flashy-looking! I don't think the former is, at least; I've only taken the bus past it.

Sushi of G*** is not but G*** (same name) is. S*** is only good after 11pm because they are the only ones open late but I just heard that the ex-G*** chef's at S*** have left! :-(

I'm playing at the Makeout Room tonight at 9pm. Slint is sold out so you have no reason not to come. Obligatory self-aggrandizing spam now:

This is our first show since November and we've written an entirely new album since, songs from which we'll be road testing tonight. The band will be myself, Sacha Galvagna, Raj Ojha, and Ray Welter.

We'll also have official copies of the forthcoming album "The Glass Bottom Boat" for sale. The album will be released by UK Label Resonant on August 20th (and distributed by Darla in the US) and available at fine online establishments and the two physical record stores left in existence. But you can have them a month early and give your money
directly to us if you come to the show. Some of you may already have CD-Rs of the album but trust me when I say that the final product looks beautiful (for those who care about packaging).

Details:

Carta @ the Makeout Room
w/ Jake Mann and Snowdrift
3225 22nd St, San Francisco
showtime: 9pm
door fee: $7 (I think)

We're playing first.

Hope to see some of you there,

Kyle

Is it me or does the city feel extra crazy today? Way more people than usual, Market St feels like Manhattan, power cuts everywhere, sirens all day long and there's been two huge film shoots on my street - one for "Journeyman" and another for Fruit Of The Loom - dudes dressed like this:

there were 3 separate gunfight incidents yesterday on market street between 10am-6pm.

all I heard about was a shooting on Mason Street...?

Steve, how many were you in?

haha "gunfight"

Too many Turner Classic westerns and Louis L'Amour paperbacks for mr shasta!

the Mason Street shooting involved someone being shot in the foot

there was Mason, then a driveby near the chess tables and finally an execution style to a car passenger on Cyril Magnin.

so...does this town have a new sheriff?

Holy Fcuk!

it was a hit/retaliation. haven't read any news on it but talked to two friends who saw the whole thing transpire.

wtf Steve

Jesus Christ. You guys just totally made me nervous about my trip there. Anyway, I will be in SF from the 15th thru the 19th. What's up with y'all?

I'll be around - not sure what's goin on that weekend tho

Cool. If you have anything going on, be sure to bring it up here.

Yo. Anyone here?

no

I'm here but my dad's in town and I have to go furniture shopping so uh, I am no fun sorry

-_-

I'm here and will probably be a the Rickshaw Stop tomorrow night but that's only because I'm underage. Also no fun, sorry.

I killed a thread. Gourmet macaroni cook-off and BBQ at my downstairs neighbors house this afternoon.

i used this thread a few weeks ago on a little weekend trip, went to dotties(we stayed around the corner, as it happened) and while in line we chatted with a dude who owns a cabbie school. After breakfast he graciously offered to drive us around the city and we graciously accepted; we hit the civic center, opera house, that big dome by the lake(forgot what it's called sry), across/above the golden gate, the presidio, robin williams' house, north beach and then he had to go and dropped us off in front of our hotel. he was fucking awesome, he said doing the tours are actually fun for him even after all these years. I owe it all to you guys and him and san francisco and myself.

Goodbye, SF. It was fun knowing you.

(I soooo want to go back. Hopefully when I have a traveling companion who is of legal drinking age/isn't a teetotaler. That city is fucking brilliant. Oh, and that cool Temple/Dome-ish thing is the Exploratorium.)

I want to go back too :(

me 3

Oh, and that cool Temple/Dome-ish thing is the Exploratorium.

actually no, it's the Palace Of Fine Arts. The exploratorium is housed in an exhibition hall around the corner.

I don't know if I'll make it back before then, but I'll definitely be there next August. I'm going to make a work trip to the CA State Fair and fit in side trips to SF and possibly Redding. Although going to Redding just to see the Sundial Bridge may not be worth it.

Redding is roughly 5 hours away and has little to recommend it in the way of tourism

He used to live there, Shakey. He knows.

God, do I know. Even so, there were hundreds of better meals there than here in franchised-to-death Amory.

I want to come to SF during Dungeness season and get a case of crabs.

Also, Redding city limits to Bay Bridge = 2:30.

haha don't mind me! sorry

im moving there in about a week, ilx.

I think I want to move there at some point in my life.

K so I live here now. Anyone know of a good temp agency?

What kind of work do you do?

oh yea, i'm going to San FranciscoPalo Alto for a week starting tomorrow. i'll have to mine all the old SF threadz..
