San Francisco and what to do in it

Okay so a quick followup that I am planning to be there but Kate needs to call it a week and chill at home. I'll have both our Bowie tickets with as I might just do dinner and be done with it, so if anyone wants them we could work out something, I'm sure! See folks in a few hours!

Sorry I couldn't make it for an elbo fap. Warriors game got in the way. What a great dance night, though! All the djs killed it! Anyone going to check out Pam the funkstress on Wednesday at great American music hall?

so they finally tried to start tearing down that building on Mission that's caught fire like three times and oh hey look what happened:

Pfft. My lack of surprise...

afaict the actual ground floor was collapsed by the weight of the digger, which subsequently fell through it...?

When I'm not channeling our favorite curmudgeon, I am performing in a hip hop dance show this weekend! http://missionmix.brownpapertickets.com/

Advance tickets are sold out, but you can get on the standby list with a good chance of getting in if you arrive an hour before the show.

Last minute, but chaki's djing a prince tribute again at the elbo room tonight.

was fully intending to go to that (also a big fan of his co-DJ) and then remembered I didn't have my guitar and had no way to get there :(

hey fam i'll be hosting a super rare screening of sign o the times on 35mm on july 25th at the alamo on $5! https://drafthouse.com/sf/show/sign-o-the-times

thank you tickets bought

Sorry to miss this, we'll be out of town! Hope it's a blast.

anybody been to/seen any shows at this (relatively new) place the Showdown, near Market & 5th?

You mean the old Arrow Bar? I've drank there, but never seen a band....

I guess...? It looks like they've been booking bands for awhile but I've never seen a show there

It's really small (layout is the same as the Arrow Bar (long bar with thin path to a little back area for dj/band).

anything going on this weekend?

Cleanup day at my kid's elementary school!

The excitement, can u feel it

It's kind of impressive how broad the discussion and argument has gotten about Stranded Records not having a place to put flyers for local shows

Thx!

what show sarah

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

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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

xp - get in touch with yr pal Ben T, and he'll tell you all
