I think Cody's probably has theory books, but if you're in that area, raiding other campus bookstores makes just as much sense.

That area meaning Berkeley.

Green Apple is great. I don't know specifically about pop culture and critical theory, but I really like the SF Public Library bookstore in Building C at Fort Mason

i'm planning a work trip to the bay area (mostly berkeley but i'll be moving around) not till june but i am buying flights soon -- how important is it that i include a weekend night on my trip if i want to go dancing in the city one night? i have no context for a scene in a bigger city; where i live there are only a handful of options and p much nothing on a weeknight.
and what's a good positive & fun place to dance to house or techno in SF?

What are the best bookstores in the Bay Area for pop culture and critical theory?
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, March 4, 2020 3:15 PM (three days ago)
Moe's. Green Apple is good. There are also small places like E.M. Wolfmann, Issues, and Adobe books that are worth a look if that's an interest.
― sarahell, Saturday, 7 March 2020 22:17 (four years ago) link
Went to Moe's for the first time in November. Definitely going back when I'm there in a week. They had an insane amount of stuff, mostly reasonably priced. Will make sure to check out Green Apple this time too.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 7 March 2020 23:34 (four years ago) link
SFUSD closing on Monday for three weeks.

I went for a bike ride today, up the Wiggle, across the GGB, etc. Seems fine? Probably less dangerous than picking up food at the cafe? No idea really.
― lukas, Thursday, 12 March 2020 23:14 (four years ago) link
Yeah, the fact that I'm Bernal Heights means one can always just walk up the hill for some exercise and a view -- but with the rain coming in, looks like it's a hunker down weekend no matter what.

My boss is having a meltdown. Not that it makes a difference because all 3 of our stores have done hardly any business the last week. I’m still expected to work, since I’m in production.

xp - do you do mail order, too?
Also -- does anyone know if the Department of Building Inspection is open or closed?

depends on how much cash you have in that envelope

Xp yeah we do. My boss is being a dick about this whole thing. I spent 2 hrs embroiled in a pointless text conversation with her and the patternmaker, trying to convince her our 2 elderly seamstresses should not be working the same hours as each other because they work in the same area. I work way in the back and the PM works upstairs, and we’re making sure not to be there when the seamstresses are.

So, uh, anybody know if laundromats are still gonna be open?
― Fetchboy, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 05:58 (four years ago) link
there’s specific language allowing them to remain open. plumbers too.

they have relaxed parking enforcement -- but not entirely! Oh San Francisco, so on brand!

why did they shut down w33d delivery argh

now that is a bad move -- you can get groceries delivered, you can get office supplies delivered, you can get medicine delivered .... seriously wtf

berkeley pot shops open for medical only, which of course I don't have anymore, so looks like I need to get an online card.
― akm, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 19:00 (four years ago) link
bike riding for exercise is okay, which ... i'm definitely going to do it, but i'll feel obscurely guilty about it.

Some businesses do not have the luxury of offering takeout or delivery. “Even though I think of mini golf as ‘essential,’ said Urban Put owner Steve Fox, “it doesn’t qualify.”
