San Francisco and what to do in it

Maybe the Russian River from Healdsburg to Jenner?

I spent last weekend outside of Monte Rio and I highly encourage you to do this. It was idyllic last weekend and the little floating down the river we did was exquisite.

yeah, it sounds great. stoked to dan cortese it, extreme style. re: the heat in august, i'm sure tomales bay would be way more comfortable, but i guess i just can't see it matching the appeal of a windy river adventure. bay kayaking seems like it would mostly just be going back and forth between the two shores while avoiding motorboats?

well you could fish and poach oysters #illegally#. not a lot of water traffic ime tbqfh

russian river brewery is stupid for not locating their brewery on the actual russian river

or in russia for that matter.

I just read this thread for five minutes. You're all going to get FAT

Going to?

that's amazing. and i'm moving to the richmond.

Look at those menacing prostitute sharks

prostitution = the Transamerica pyramid?

Wonder what the little prostitution bump out in the Richmond District is.

I'd imagine that street-level prostitution is a very small % of the total

not if you hung out at 19th and Shotwell

xp so there's a little prostitution house out in the Richmond District. Bets on whether it's Russian or Chinese?

maybe some sorta russian-chinese joint venture

Russo-Sino House of Ill Repute

lol that's probably it.

That place was always so quiet when I worked @ Green Apple actually. I doubt there were too many busts there.

I heard that THE original fern bar is in San Francisco. Can anyone confirm?

Supposedly it was Henry Africa's, but that's long closed.

a hooker pinched my butt on shotwell last year

wow, really? They don't just give that shit away, you know.

Except @ the 500 Club ;)

i went to george washington high school in the richmond, and they busted a house across the street for prostitution.

club hong kong was always shady, they were firebombed some years ago.

Except @ the 500 Club ;)

haha. I feel like I should clarify that but nah

i went to george washington high school in the richmond

class of?

"i went to george washington high school in the richmond, and they busted a house across the street for prostitution."

So did my brother!

Go to GWHS, not get busted across the street for prostitution that is.

Except @ the 500 Club ;)

Ha ha

"when loljoeks = truth: there are a few Mongolian hostess bars/brothels in that hood, watch yo back!"

Do the Mongolian hookers sneak up on you?

The Richmond is kind of notorious for maison closes in SF, though, I thought.

class of 2000, except i dropped out.

fixed.

I bought this in a bookstore around the corner from "Fig On A Plate Cart"'s old apartment:

The Adams of San Francisco

xp you probably read that before you read Dying Inside, amirite?

Actually I still haven't read either =/

Heading towards wine country (ie. north of SF) in September. Any particular recommendations?

Also, do you see David Sylvian pottering around the Napa Valley looking a bit sad?

I wanna go back to the Sonoma coast, it's well moody. I'm not a big wine person. I just like creepy trees, fresh oysters and making a screwface.

This month's Lonely Planet magazine is good on SF, in a holiday porn sort of way.

Adam, that's an entertaining book.

had no idea sylvian lived up there. i'm gonna go walk around looking for him.

fave restaurant up in yountville (just north of napa) is thomas keller's http://www.adhocrestaurant.com/

fave wineries (off top of head) are robledo, schraumbsberg, scribe & duckhorn

Favorite tasting we had in Napa was Hope & Grace right on the main drag in Yountville. If you spend the night most hotels have deals for free/discount tastings as well.
