San Francisco and what to do in it

last time i was in the city i started talking to some random beardy dudes (one had a tweed jacket and a dog-eared ee cummings book in the front pocket) who invited me to a west oakland warehouse party. apparently the headlining act was to be a coke can of liquid mdma? dunno, never went.

this was outside at zeitgeist, btw

xp - it is possible i know tweed jacket guy; if he was who i think, he was mostly joking.

Was he with a girl with bangs and chunky eyeglasses? I think I know them too!

the one with bleached blond hair?

lollerskates

on the real, though, he was hanging with a ponytailed guy who was doing an interdisciplinary studies thing about environmental studies (wallace stegner and that sort of thing) at cal if that rings a bell

they were real characters

xp: let me try to narrow this down: one of them had a fixed gear bike and a messenger bag?

The line just to GET IN to the Giants dugout store:

saw on the news someone got dragged out of their car and beaten in the Mission last night.

eh, not really

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/hottopics/detail?entry_id=76106&tsp=1

that's a pretty suspicious use of the phrase "civil disobedience"

true - it's all a bunch of drunken yahoos obviously

otoh whoever was driving that car deserved the beating imho

I mean seriously what were they fucking thinking plowing into the crowd like that. just drive down some other street!

more idiots deserve to be beaten - clearly the lack of beatings is what is responsible for so much idiocy in this country.

otoh whoever was driving that car deserved the beating imho

I'm always suspicious of such language but wtf? When you see a huge crowd of people in the street, you don't decide to get all self-righteous and drive over them, ffs. Make a u-turn and leave. Last night on Haight (before the cops had shut the street down, ppl were actually helping drivers turn around safely to leave.

Had dinner at We B Sushi on Valencia from 9-10pm and the entire time outside was solid noise, horns, people playing musical instruments out of their windows, etc. Stopped by 22nd and Mission around 10pm last night and the mood was amazing, the streets were shoulder-to-shoulder for a block in either direction. At that point it would have been completely impossible for a car to get through.

That's some crazy youtube footage but it's like six minutes out of several hours of pure love

the one near 16th or the one near Aquarius?

near aquarius

I didn't know this game was their 4th win, I thought it was their second and was a bit baffled by what seemed to be a massive overreaction on everyone's part

do you not follow whackbat or something

otoh whoever was driving that car deserved the beating imho

yeah, agreed.

am i lame for being a little bummed that Obama didn't call the Giants?

what are barack obama's flaws?

so ... anybody coming to expo 70?

I need to take 10 family members - including small children - out to dinner somewhere in Oakland Friday night. where should I go.

Zachary's?

camino has LOOOOOOOOOOONG ass tables

Are you driving/BART-ing? Do you mind a long wait?

Camino was yummy when I went there (for brunch, though), but it's bucks.

I would probably not bring little kids to a place like Camino but that's just me. My little kid brain wanted to go somewhere like Fenton's.

yeah, that's why i asked about the wait - Fenton's would definitely appeal to the kids, but the lines there on a Friday night are really long.

Me and my brother are driving - several other family members will already be in Oakland and will (presumably) also be driving.

long wait probably not advisable with two kids under the age of 4

Could always have someone get there early, though.

Take it to the Oakland thread.

*palm*

too much gunfire over there

so, back to SF - the Happy Meal ban?

EXPO 70 TONIGHT

wish i could make it
