San Francisco and what to do in it

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

hey flopson, totally forgot about this resource:

http://www.foopee.com/punk/the-list/by-date.0.html

man that foopee list has been around forever, amazed/happy to see it's still around

~ click *LIKE* if you remember getting the list as a sheet of paper ~

I love THE LIST

*LIKE* remember getting it from the Epicenter Zone. :)

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

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

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.

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

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

^^ lots of comments like that too

thx

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.

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

But also, yum!

i want to say it looks like an Apple store but Apple stores have more flair. when will this end.

loool

it should be called The Hancrafted Artisanal (TM)

handcrafted, even

ugh this is just a few blocks away from me, so ridiculous

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.

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

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.)
