San Francisco and what to do in it

well this is stupid

https://missionlocal.org/2018/11/la-victoria-out-cinderella-bakery-in-boycott-imminent/

I think the fact that a Latino family dispute led to the eviction is relevant. It's not like Cinderella Bakery are vultures flipping properties and evicting families, it's like Call 24's only objection is based on the owners' ethnicity, which is lame.

Mm. Guess we'll have to see.

thanks for the update shakey - i would have loved to see this go another way but per discussion upthread i can't say i'm surprised

also have any of these people that are going to picket it actually eaten at Cinderella Bakery becuz it is *delicious*

lol that guy was buddies with a dude who used to live across the hall from me.

hadn't thought about Tom Guido in awhile, I must say

Not too shabby! Any old timers remember the place in the Bayview that was a strip club called the Pirate's Booty or something similar?

Our company orders catered lunch once a week, but throws out the leftovers after a day. I'm trying to propose something a bit more sensible and found this: http://www.foodrunners.org/donate-food/

OTOH this sounds good, but on the other, I see the same homeless people outside the building every day, and sending the food through a middleman seems kinda circuitous? Anyone else have thoughts?

just do it yourself? idk

Yah thats total bs if they are throwing out a significant amount of food. I'd complain to facilities and make them do something about it.

I've thought about just passing out the food myself but I'm sort of worried about logistics, and I don't want my own prejudices to bias who gets a share and not.

can vouch for foodrunners being awesome. may be a middleman, but they know what they're doing wrt food hygiene standards and nobody in your company has to worry about an foodborne liability

did anyone else see the meteor last night?! that was fucking crazy

also, quality police department we have here: https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/SF-cop-who-d-been-suspended-for-racist-texts-13479730.php

Saw the vapor trail afterward -- crazy indeed!

I was driving east at the time and was like wtf why is that cloud glowing, I couldn't figure it out

heyo I have two tickets to see SLEEP at the Great American tonight…. But I am sick ☹
On the off-chance that anyone is in town tonight and wants to see this show (which is sold out), or knows anyone who wants to see this show, plz let me know and I will happily sell my tix! webmail me. Tix were $60 apiece.

Already got mine so alas. Sorry you can’t make it!

Our drummer is in this awesome rock opera, which started at Z-Space, did a turn in NYC, and is now playing for two weeks at the ACT:

Hey that isn't Bohemian Rhapsody uh wait.

Thought this revive would be about the Perth DJ cranked out of his gourd running off with someone's toddler in the middle of the day at Jane Werner plaza.

Yeah that was a thing.

glad he was apprehended

my old house is on fire :(

just saw JR's The Chronicles of San Francisco at SF MOMA, it's free on the lower level at the Natoma entrance, it isn't a movie exactly, I'm not sure what to call it but it's fantastic

JR?

‘Video mural’ maybe. it’s pretty impressive. All the moreso in that he’d never made anything animated like that before. Scale is what makes it imo.

xp lol, I don't know his real name, that's what he goes by (he collaborated with Agnes Varda on Faces Places)

also I would really recommend Lisa Reihana's multi-channel video "In Pursuit of Venus (Infected)" currently at the De Young, it's in a similar scale

the Reihana is equally impressive

Ah gotcha

Xp

the Reihana video is based on Charvet’s Polynesian wallpaper from 1806, “Les Sauvages de la Mer Pacifique” and is 13 feet tall and 70 feet long with multiple audio channels. It’s a continuous video scroll and is over 60 minutes long

“a vast digital scroll moves through live-action vignettes placed within an idealized background inspired by the original wallpaper. It asks viewers, “Who tells the story and how do images, past and present, shape our understanding of history?”. a story about colonialism

it is amazing

Oh yeah I saw this piece a couple of years ago. It's outstanding.

Interested in experience/opinions on Santa Rosa. Like, what would it be like to live there.

I'm not a Peanuts fan so there's that. Also I don't drink, so the wine thing could be annoying.

it's very far north and burned down and is now rebuilding. that's all I can say. I have a friend who lives up there and is carless and is constantly cmplaining that she's missing out on everything that happens in the bay area because there's no easy transportation down here. I know some other people who have a lovely midcentury house with a pool there.
