San Francisco and what to do in it

Not that the 38 Geary is any great shakes.

the SFPD, ladies and gentlemen

seems like a vast toxic wasteland to me, had no idea it was a park

it's not toxic at all!!

uh... how far away from Hunter's Point is it? Because that is the most toxic area in the bay area iirc.

well, I'm glad the Cliff House has been renovated and all. I like that part of town.

it's on the other side of the stadium - all the toxic stuff stays within it's well defined borders dontchaknow

The confiscated mosaic tiles measure as small as 1-inch-by-1-inch, Suhr said. Many contain photographic negatives, inlaid behind glass. Others are drawings. Some were installed high above normal viewing levels.

"I think as an adult you look at these tiles and see possibly some sort of sexual connotation to them," said Commander Mike Biel,who declined to describe the offensive images in detail.

are we sure it's not kids scrawling penises on them

So far, no evidence suggests that children were harmed in the making of the murals.

this is the part I don't get... if they're photographic negatives, that would imply that he took the photos, which would imply that kids were harmed...? or am I missing something

yeah, you're missing any information whatsoever about what the photos were of, other than that someone could potentially see a sexual connotation to them and they were "inappropriate". Whole thing is WTF but kind of a dumb report.

I assume they're all just pictures of his o-face or somethign

photographic negatives of penis drawings?

Are there any updates on the mural dude?

Meanwhile there is this Ritual Roasters vs. art thing

megalol at "tapestries of heavy metal lyrics" being appropriate art for a coffeehouse

DARKNESS IMPRISONING ME ANGEL OF DEAAAATH CALCIFYING MEMBRANES OF THE TORTURED NAMELESSSS

let me know if I've missed anything, looks like next week will be bars + museums + Neko Case (possibly) + two ballgames

Morbz, if you wanna go to the SF MoMA I can hook you up with free tickets.

thanks, but I think I'm going Tuesday, which is a free day anyway.

prepare for large crowds

yeah, used to them from NY MoMA, any day or night!

haha, though I can vouch for the presence of hot guys on 1/2 off Thursday evenings.

well, does me no good, Sat-Tue.

Also, you guys need deadly 80 mph express bus lines to LA.

hey, I'm in town with a dead laptop and no phone for 4 days! M White knows where to find me.

(69, I will call you Tuesday.)

my mom got me an Academy of Sciences membership for father's day. I hadn't been since the remodel - holy shit that building is amazing, easily one of my favorite design spaces in the city

The rainforest tower thing is pretty awesome. I like how you have to go though an airlock to get in.

I know right? The way you can look up from underneath the aquarium through the jungle and see the sun coming through the roof whoah

The roof is pretty cool, too.

is there a way to get up on the roof...? I couldn't tell

definitely going to one of those after-hours night things soon

RIP Red Vic :(

Oh shit, no :(

Last film will be 'Harold and Maude'.

at this point I kind of fear even for the future of the Castro theater

Castro has been shakey (no relation) for ages, too, but it has a more diverse base.

also the theater itself is amazing

It is. I'm going for two films during the Silent Film Festival.

Some good organ concerts going on this week for the AGO convention. You might have to put up with terrible acoustics in a beautiful space.

I went to the Roxie to see "Happy," a doc I didn't like so much.

Doc + Happy =

i think i want to come and live here!

suprised at how long ppl seem to be prepared to queue for coffee in this city tho

RIP Andronico's. you were too far away and too expensive for me to shop there regularly, but you had an awesome meat/deli dept.
