lol this detail had escaped me for some reason

i thought she was a venezuelan actress?
― sarahell, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 22:32 (twelve years ago) link
Eliana is Venezuelan, btw

seems like the whole thing is going to hinge on his wife's testimony
― max buzzword (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 22:39 (twelve years ago) link
true, but I thought spouses could not be forced to testify against each other by law? or is that some made-up tv shit?
― akm, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 22:40 (twelve years ago) link
no, that is true.
― sarahell, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 22:41 (twelve years ago) link
well, she may testify for the defense
― max buzzword (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 22:44 (twelve years ago) link
also the spousal exclusion thing isn't that clear-cut iirc
Domestic violence foes were incensed by a statement he made, however, that it was a private matter.

She may testify however she pleases. She cannot be compelled to incriminate her husband.
― le ralliement du doute et de l'erreur (Michael White), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 22:45 (twelve years ago) link
okay maybe it is that clear cut lol

maybe her evil twin made the tape to frame the sheriff while eliana was flitting around a park in salem wearing a white lace tablecloth disguise and suffering from amnesia after being struck by lightning.

Who is saying this a conspiracy from his enemies? Ivory Madison is a neighbor of theirs who did fundraising for his campaign for sherriff.

Mirkarimi's saying it! I'm guessing he's referring to the DA, who made the decision to press charges and is a political enemy of his
― max buzzword (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 23:01 (twelve years ago) link
Gascon and Mirkarimi hate each other iirc
― max buzzword (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 8 February 2012 23:02 (twelve years ago) link
Fair enough but can Gascon afford not investigate this?

estela has a very sensible take on this. Rings of truth and whatnot

I've met Ross and he's always seemed decent enough for a pol but in a city as progressive as SF, stifling a pretty credible account of domestic violence is a non-starter. I hope he gets his day in court and I wish he were innocent. Call me prejudiced ('tis fair) but I look at all this w/an eye jaundiced as well by the fact that his wife is a foreigner who was allegedly told by him that he had powerful friends (insinuating that she did not) and it wouldn't behove her to mess w/him, presumably in some context regarding custody of their son. Even if she were a manipulative intrigante, he may have made the dick move of falling into her trap. I feel most shitty of all for their son.

bay area people: i'm looking for ideas for weekend getaways, anything from campsites/cabins in really cool places, through to high-end luxury B&Bs. anywhere within about a 3 hr driving radius.

i should say: within a 3 hr driving radius of el cerrito
― just1n3, Friday, 17 February 2012 16:57 (twelve years ago) link
check out places along the Russian River, Guerneville, etc.
― max buzzword (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 17 February 2012 17:11 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I've been going w/friends up near Gurneville for a couple of years in a row, now. It's pretty fantastic.

really irritating that it's not even business-driven - it's not like Serra Bowl isn't making money or lacking in clientele, it's just that the landlord is a greedy asshole

How will he make more money, though?

where should i stay in san francisco? i need to get to the mission district relatively easily/quickly at rush hour each morning. am looking at union squareish area bc it's very close to transit... any other recommendations?
― tehresa, Friday, 16 March 2012 19:21 (twelve years ago) link
union square would be fine for your purposes but it won't be cheap

civic center/south of market or tenderloin
― sarahell, Friday, 16 March 2012 19:47 (twelve years ago) link
I wouldn't really recommend the tenderloin. I mean, I spend time there and I have friends there but y'know some people might be alarmed by preponderance of speedfreaks/crackheads, trannywhores, random stabbings, crazed homeless people etc
― the sir edmund hillary of sitting through pauly shore films (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:49 (twelve years ago) link
Agree. Plus Tenderloin is not terribly fun to walk around at night (reinforced for me after seeing a show at GAMH last night.)\
Any reason why you don't want to just stay in the Mission? Upper Market near Castro/Church is also a good spot.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:56 (twelve years ago) link
yeah was gonna suggest the Church/Castro axis, there's decent B&Bs around there
― the sir edmund hillary of sitting through pauly shore films (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:58 (twelve years ago) link
otoh if you are comfortable with the prospect of seeing someone take a shit in the street at any given time of day, by all means hit up the Tendo!

mission hotels didn't seem particularly great from the online reviews. can anyone recommend a good one?
― tehresa, Friday, 16 March 2012 20:01 (twelve years ago) link
my mother-in-law stayed at some B&B near us that seemed pretty decent, I think it was on Van Ness. Lemme look it up and see if I can find it.
― the sir edmund hillary of sitting through pauly shore films (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:02 (twelve years ago) link
I think it was this one
how do you feel about doilies lol
― the sir edmund hillary of sitting through pauly shore films (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:04 (twelve years ago) link
i do not wish to stay at a b&b for a week! hah. maybe one night. but i'm going for a work trip so i think it would get... awkward. i dunno, for a week, i guess i want more amenities that a hotel offers like a gym, my own bathroom, etc.
― tehresa, Friday, 16 March 2012 20:06 (twelve years ago) link
there are cheap hotels around Union Square too. They really run the gamut.
― lou reed scott walker monks niagra (chinavision!), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
yeah the hotels in the Mission aren't gonna meet your needs. if it's a work thing and they're payin for the stay, Union Square or or the SOMA hotels are best for that kind of thing
xp
― the sir edmund hillary of sitting through pauly shore films (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
union square plus a few blocks to the north, a few blocks to the east, a few blocks to the south, and like 1.5 blocks to the west keeps out out of the tenderloin
― lou reed scott walker monks niagra (chinavision!), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
what are hotels in the mission? aside from really ratty looking places with signs that say they offer color tv.
those are the only ones
