San Francisco and what to do in it

http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Arutuo-Galster-drag-performer-dead-at-55-5723994.php related to the Feather Lynn beating? Suspect photo was generic white guy in a hoodie.

Not watching video but this dude seems like the worst guy:

RIP my favorite food truck:

holy shit

some of you must be into Georgian cinema, right?

was just reading about their blood feuds, animal sacrifices and ritual haircutting so sure why not

Good luck getting San Franciscans to come to the east bay

it's pretty easy to get San Franciscans to come to the East Bay tbh, just double their rent or evict them! Har-de-har-har

hehe

I feel like we've almost reached the point where there is more going on culturally over here in Oakland/Berkeley than in SF

uh, yeah

It's pretty hard to see a screening of a non-famous old film anywhere but the PFA these days. Castro's scheduling has gotten pretty boring apart from festival season.

last night I watched Dark Passage with Bogart and Bacall, and she lives here (and there was location shooting; he climbs the Filbert Steps too):

i am vaguely curious how ridiculously expensive it costs to live there now

about $6k a month (not sure how old that post is) for a 1 br/ 1bath.

RIP Guardian

it had been sold a few years back though, hadn't it?

stopping publishing as of tomorrow

yeah, but dreaforce is happening RIGHT NOW!

wow re: the guardian!

on my daughter's walk to work this morning at 20th and Mission. this woman was apparently passed out in her car (kid did not care, "maybe she should wake up" lol):

wow the angle of her right foot is going to cause some intense pain when she comes to.

Keep SF Unconscious

the angle of her right foot

I'm assuming that shoe is not fully on I mean how could it be, right?

you can see that the shoe is mostly off her foot

I see it now... more like some thoughtful citizen kind of hooked her shoe back on at some point

this sounds cools

oh no that's like three blocks from me :(

no Cyberball 2072, no cred

The Naked Room is a killer documentary; go if you can take it

hmm $25k/yr rent increase, yeah that sounds reasonable

I haven't been to that space in years -- probably over a decade -- I don't remember how big it is. The article doesn't say how big the space is or whether they've had rent increases during their tenancy. 26% is a lot compared to the normal annual bumps in a standard general industrial lease, but if they haven't seen their rent go up in the last x years? It's shitty, no doubt, but I'm sure that we've all seen shittier, more fucked up situations

ever since Crescent City on Haight Street closed I have been pretty bummed about the available southern fare in this city, but now this place is opening up just down the street from me YES: http://sf.eater.com/2014/9/5/6160593/buttermilk-southern-kitchen-en-route-to-the-mission

omg i live in santa cruz which is like an hour south of SF

good job SFPD!

the victim here went to my daughter's school so this case has been a big deal in the neighborhood

Mission District cops good at shaking down residents, solving crimes eh not so much

Dude city kinda murder-y lately wtf

dismembered body in a suitcase, geez

My busride home went by the crimescene

RIP Popeye's Chicken on Mission

oh shit. smoke coming in thick through the windows. one death reported.

the chron says disappointingly little about the body parts suitcase

eh there's usually not much to be gained from publicizing details of that kind of thing, don't want to jeopardize the investigation etc. I do wonder if it's connected to the recent spate of gang-related killings though, or that recent quadruple homicide in Hayes Valley. cuz this many murders already in the new year is kind of crazy.

and then a huge fire in my 'hood! sheesh. RIP Popeye's, my wife was always trying to get me to eat there
