wait what? I've played shows at Stranded, is this new?

Dominique, Friday, 12 August 2016 16:46 (seven years ago) link

the issue is that stranded sf is not letting people put show flyers in there and the clerk gave some shitty response and then steve made a post like "sorry! we're just getting started!" but it's not like having a little section to put flyers is a hard thing to do.

kurt schwitterz, Friday, 12 August 2016 16:57 (seven years ago) link

and stranded oakland also didn't allow people to put show flyers there, according to other ppl

sarahell, Friday, 12 August 2016 17:13 (seven years ago) link

wow, yeah seems weird for a local record store not to have local show flyers. But we did play at the Oakland one -- do they still do shows there?

Dominique, Friday, 12 August 2016 17:15 (seven years ago) link

yah.. people are saying the no flyers thing is an "aesthetic choice" which is so dumb imo idk.

kurt schwitterz, Friday, 12 August 2016 17:16 (seven years ago) link

in his post he says he "regularly" has shows, but I don't think he's had anything in a long time

sarahell, Friday, 12 August 2016 17:16 (seven years ago) link

first I'm hearing of this. dumb as shit, obviously.

Οὖτις, Friday, 12 August 2016 17:18 (seven years ago) link

wait the "aesthetic choicers" are they defending him or ...? I get annoyed when local record stores and arts non-profits don't have places to put flyers, but some people are saying things like "fuck this guy forever" and that he should be evicted and comparing it to tech bro gentrification

Wandered into the store the other week to say hi to a couple of folks and yeah...it's, um, stark in there now.

Ned Raggett, Friday, 12 August 2016 18:27 (seven years ago) link

guna go ahead and say that if you're not letting kids put flyers for their shows in your record store, youre actively anti-punk no matter how many crime records you reissue.

kurt schwitterz, Friday, 12 August 2016 18:44 (seven years ago) link

the best comment was someone posting a pic of an old school flyer for a suicide gig and saying that it wouldn't be allowed in the store

sarahell, Friday, 12 August 2016 18:51 (seven years ago) link

they haven't even put their signs up yet sheesh guys

I like First Church although shows tend to run a little too late for my old SF living self.

Stranded in SF is going to fight an uphill battle for a bit simply due to replacing Aquarius. I don't remember any of this kind of talk about the Oakland store when I was there.

Dominique, Friday, 12 August 2016 19:46 (seven years ago) link

Completely separately, I rather think you all should read this.

Heath is allright tho

tbf orig Tartine bakery has good food -- but I rarely went there when I lived in SF due to the line, and general this-is-exactly-the-kind-of-white-person-I-don't-want-to-be-ness about it. This new place looks like it's aiming to be much, much worse.

Dominique, Thursday, 18 August 2016 16:41 (seven years ago) link

I have never eaten at Tartine for those reasons and don't foresee this ever changing

Οὖτις, Thursday, 18 August 2016 16:47 (seven years ago) link

Hi white person here. (I have snagged a couple of things to go from Tartine when I passed by and saw the line was short, ie, only inside the building. Tasty, yes, but I don't go out of my way.)

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 18 August 2016 16:48 (seven years ago) link

TBF, Tartine makes the best bread in the whole world, and some pretty goddamn great pastries too.

schwantz, Thursday, 18 August 2016 17:12 (seven years ago) link

I have no issue with the Tartine product but agree that this building looks *rolls-eyes*. But I sorta feel that way about the Mill/Four Barrell and I still get coffee stuff there too so maybe I am *rolls-eyes*.

One bad call from barely losing to (Alex in SF), Thursday, 18 August 2016 17:24 (seven years ago) link

tartine is fine but i hate the vibe/scene of it. i do fux w/ 'B'Patisserie however

Have you been to San Francisco? My God, the Japanese are gone, the Mexicans, even the gays. It's all guys with Ferraris who get girls drunk.
