Just went to the Pizza Shop on 24th (it's new!) and it was YUM. Inexpensive NY-style pizza slices. $3 for cheese, $4 for others.

No, it's at 24th and Folsom. I'm doing a one on one day with Owen, but next time for sure. I let K know in case she and Ben want to meet you guys.

there are some great restaurants and bars in SOMA - i work over there, so i end up hanging out in that neighborhood more than i otherwise probably would have. it's not just hip spots for techies.

Meanwhile in the 'tech or housing or not or both or' continuing saga, this detail:

Another man who didn't want to give his name, but said he was from the dot-com boom and called himself "part of the new upper class of Silicon Valley," encouraged tech employees to "acknowledge our privilege" and "listen to people's stories of eviction instead of looking at our phones." He then read from a poem that said "The Internet is killing us."

Those people at the bar fucking with the google glass lady are assholes but I kind of love them.

they acted on an impulse I have often had to suppress because I r civilized human but fuck her for calling it a "hate crime"

it's not anti-"techie," it's anti-prick. based on her posts about the incident and eager engagement with any and all media around the she's certainly trying to present herself as an innocent victim of anti-tech hooligans but ime if you act like an ass in molotov's someone's going to invite you to mind your manners.

tbh Molotov's is exactly the kind of joint I would expect this to happen in. Zeitgeist too.

God this city is just brimming with assholes of all varieties, isn't it?

shakey I think we're agreeing. maybe I was too oblique...

Despite the attack, Slocum is still a dedicated Glass user -- or, in her own words, a "#glasshead."

Yup. It will become some sort of "lounge"...

Raiding SROs and selling the seized property is pretty ugly.

I'm a regular at Molotov's and I heard accounts from fellow regulars yesterday (also recounted to a SFPD sergeant) which lead me to believe that she was both very drunk and very annoying and far from blameless. She was repeatedly asked to not film and not behave like a drunken fool but she went ahead and did it anyhow. I just missed this by about 30 minutes 'cause I stopped in after dinner. Her bf or male escort also beat someone up over this, so hate crime, my ass.

Also Esta Noche getting the boot right after appearing on 'Looking' is kind of poignant.

tbh when I saw that quote of a patron re: "behoove her to have manners" I totally thought it was you

How dare you tarnish the reputation of Turturro's yodel (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 27 February 2014 22:08 (ten years ago) link

Ha! Apparently she was there when I was but I instinctively avoided her (like most ppl there Friday or Saturday nights who I don't know).

x-post Yeah we have a water filter and glasses here at our office (and even a dishwasher!) but we keep ordering and using bottles of water! I gotta put a stop to it.

schwantz, Wednesday, 5 March 2014 21:32 (ten years ago) link

it's just so weird to act like we are living in a third world country that doesn't have clean water, especially in SF where we have, like, the cleanest fucking water in the country straight from Hetch Hetchy

I keep telling everyone at work that the bottled water we have for meetings is not an upgrade from our water purifier (w/UVA).

A specialist in foolery (Michael White), Wednesday, 5 March 2014 21:50 (ten years ago) link

we have some ridiculous water purifier thing that keeps it refrigerated and carbonates it (if you want). it's like a robot. it is also ridiculous, but it's carbon footprint is probably smaller than monthly carts of water bottles

did I mention it's ridiculous

Want the carbonator!

Vero is the brandname. its crazy. it comes with tanks.
