This is a pretty crazy story even for SF.

"can anyone recommend a sushi restaurant in SF that is a) really good, b) open for lunch on a Saturday, and c) not insanely pricey"

I can't even recommend one that meets a) and c) sadly.

going to Kitaro on the rec of a friend, as it turns out

whoah windshield wiper assault thing is pretty close to me. weird.

in other news, Rhea's Deli is moving in across from my house! YES

Thinking of probably applying to a (very different) job with my former employer in SF.

Obviously, the odds are long but would I move back to the Bay? How is it now? Where would I live?

Honestly this prob. won't happen, but yet...

The rents are as bad as ever.

yeah that is a thing for sure.

I live in a great house down here, I couldn't imagine being able to afford something similar there.

I miss BART, is that weird

Actually I think I just like public transit, but I liked BART's retro-futuristic Epcot aesthetic

Also I am sick of SoCal heat right now. It's going to 97 this week! But I do like it here

woah I just actually looked at rents. Geez, guys!

east bay?

It's nuts, really

xpost

stupid tech bubble

just like last time

I looked at East Bay. Narrowed it to our rent here and was presented with an array of depressing apartments in the middle of nowhere. Haha you should all move!

I've probably said this b4 but our rent on a one-bed apt in SF (nice and spacious one tbf) was about double our monthly mortgage payments on 2-bed fancy flat in nice area of southern British city

city's been prohibitively expensive the entire time I've lived here is this news to you guys or something

the trick is to commit and then not move

I can't say rents in the Bay Area have been much on my mind, no

xp

Until recently I was a fancy millionaire but recently I got Arthur'ed.

"Haha you should all move!"

If we moved we'd lose our rent-controlled units!

well.

ok then.

we might just visit

Seriously though we'll ask around for you. Most good apartments (in SF anyway) get found by word of mouth.

OK! I am going to throw my hat in this ring and see what happens.

i'm meeting friends in union square - recs for good places to eat/drink?

Jasper's Tap Room

Bay Area peeps, I just got tix for Einstein on the Beach, if my current plans fall thru, one would be available, ilxmail me if intersted.

So yes, one ticket available.

just saw it last night and am pretty tempted to see it again, actually. when's the ticket for?

oh great, so they did set shit on fire after all.

Go Bears!

I watched the bonfire right outside the beauty bar for about 30 minutes and was surprised at the lack of police or fire dept involvement. That said, it was a surprisingly tame and civilized celebration compared to the crazies in the 200-person crowd out front of civic center who kept swarming any car that tried to drive by and jumping on them like a 5 year old on a bed.

Tough night for MUNI:

D'oh! Didn't see this till now, soz!

ha no worries, sunday is the only day that would've worked and i would've been only half-awake anyway

It was for Saturday night, FYI.

I'm going to San Jose for 3 days this weekend! A crazy short trip from the UK.

I'm planning to head to San Francisco on Friday and Sunday... Overwhelmed before I've even got there!

So far I've got my eye on the Haight area and Amoeba there for one of the days.

What might be a good plan for another day?

I'm accompanying my 17 year step-brother on a competition prize trip, so it may not all be entirely straight-forward.

bike across the golden gate bridge and up hawk hill (just got back from there)

get beer at cerveceria de mateveza (18th and church) and drink them in dolores park

now someone who's lived here longer than two years should go

Was gonna suggest eating and drinking in Dolores park tbh

If you feel like going to a show, there's always

you can check out some Nancarrow-related films and performances at the Berkeley Art Museum

Any fun things going down tomorrow night?

Not sure about night, but there is a world series parade downtown during the day

Also another bus burning is scheduled for later.
