San Francisco and what to do in it

I went to a a punk show there ages ago and these (rather petite) girls started pogoing and I had to laugh 'cause had I been inclined to follow suit, I would have knocked myself out.

Would totally be at the lab tonight were I in town.
Ive heard that LiPo hasn't quite been the same since Anthony Bourdain promoted it.

sarahell - i'll be the one with the gray jacket and the, um, black messenger bag ...

i will be supervising people

Anybody else going to Haceteria this Sat?

Sorry, this Friday.

Maybe! I'll post if it looks likely.

so yesterday around 4pm about a block away from my office some guy shot on foot shot and seriously injured a passenger in a car - car sped off to the hospital, shooter fled on foot, Market Street was blocked off from Beale to Main for about an hour... can't find anymore news about it today though. sounds really odd - not yr standard spree shooting or robbery, wondering what the deal was.

I think Shakey meant there hadn't been any followup news since yesterday - he's right, I haven't seen anything either.

RIP Defenestration Bldg

I saw that this morning. Part bummed and part happy the limbo will end and they can put in affordable housing.

bittersweet :/

yeah it's a good thing, although I will miss the cool-art-project-in-the-midst-of-urban-blight

and CELLSpace is closed down now too :(

this is right down the street from me, and a very cool-looking building.

Uh, well, on the bright side! Back in town tonight, Zeitgeist tomorrow at 4 pm if anyone's free...(I know some people are already planning!)

Grants helped to cover the loss of income from the Market, but a lot of the money was wasted. After one of the larger grants was received, the staff were given cell phones (no pun intended) for conducting CELLspace business. Within one year, they would have no business to conduct.

“Essentially, large amounts of money were mismanaged

this is just so sadly familiar. ... I didn't realize that Cellspace was only founded the year I moved back to the Bay Area. I had thought it had been around longer.

xp - I might actually be able to make it

Would so buy you beers at Zeitgeist tomorrow were my plans not already in stone.

this is just so sadly familiar.

I for one am shocked SHOCKED that itinerant artists do not make good accountants

Though some of us actually are.

Xps gonna miss you again, ned! Heading to shasta for the weekend

Ah well, another time!

Outta town, sorry to miss you Ned

I just don't care for you, tbh

:)

but have you ever quaffed Ze Zeitgeist bloody mary?

I passed a weird crime scene on my way to work – someone drove a range rover through the façade of the Sprint Mobile shop that’s in the Metreon parking lot bldg., it was like they just made a right turn off of Mission St, jumped the curb, and went straight through the glass. cops were all over the place

Sentinel lunch today, forgot that I work across the street from them.

yikes

kinda unusual that this happened in broad daylight

??!!

jesus

those projects are messed up, I used to take the 48 by there when I was living just on the other side of the hill

Yeah, I heard some horror stories about the playgrounds over there.

victim now being described as male

okay

MADNESS

fuckin' health department

haven't i seen her at the Eagle in years past?

probably

didn't the Eagle close last year?

I think they're reopening soon?

They're open

Clientele I saw outside the other night driving by did not look like Eagle patrons of old

My friends who are Eagle patrons of old still go there

It might just have been a coincidence that several dozen techbros and ladies were standing outside then

kinda diverse depending on the night it always seemed to me

(am lightly toying w/ idea of coming out for Folsom Fair in Sept so lmk if you see some chaps that wd look good on me)

Eagle is hosting shows too. Oh Sees and Total Control played there last weekend.

acrobat has nervous breakdown, gets naked and attacks people at 16th st/mission Bart:

dude is lucky cops didn't shoot him imho

I like that I live somewhere where I can put an old couch on the street and within an hour some random bros will come by, tie to it to the top of their car, and take it away to a new home.
