San Francisco and what to do in it

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.

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.

So back near the beginning of May, I was in the Bay Area for work, and my last day I was taking BART to SFO to fly home. During my trip, my train got held up for a while. The train operator made an announcement and I tweeted about it: "Yay BART train stuck at Civic Center on way to airport due to "an unstable person" on the tracks. Thanks for a fun last day, SF!"

THE VIDEO ABOVE IS THE REASON MY TRAIN WAS HELD UP, and I only discovered it when Gawker posted the video last week. Literally all I knew was that someone was causing trouble at the next station down the line, but that was it. Now I know. The circle is complete.

Anyone know what police activity at 22nd has shut down Caltrain?

heard something about a hostage situation

^^ that was refreshing. hits a lull near the end that makes it less than danceable. same thing is true of Good Vibrations by the Biatch Boys, tho.

gentrify my love

i'm here. where should i eat in chinatown?

everyone will probably tell you House of Nan King which I kind of like but can be very hit and miss. I can't remember any good places I ate in, sorry!

Seeing as how I don't really like chinese food, I'd recommend Penang Garden.

City View has good dim sum.
