Space-age luxe vibes somewhat weakened by Rixton’s ‘Me and My Broken Heart’ being piped across the place.

Not sure how big the park is but I’ll look out on this thread if either of you want to pinpoint a place to meet. This is what we look like in a cheesy selfie from a redwoods forest cable car, except I’ll be wearing glasses. I think I’ll recognize Ned!

See everyone soonish. Non-meat pizza, check.

By the stand of trees in the middle of the park. Look for the pizza boxes.

Sounds good — about there!

Success! Today's park featured an ILX meetup, a tiff between a very large dog and a very small one, and a partnered acrobatic yoga class. Plus I got some life advice.
― lukas, Sunday, 16 May 2021 21:31 (three years ago) link
A damn good treat, we should do more of this. And the pizza was excellent.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 16 May 2021 21:33 (three years ago) link
Yes that was good. And the first time I’ve been to an ILX meetup in many years. Quality not quantity. Thanks for the excellent pizza, beer, company and travel advice.

sorry I missed it. It was my second busiest work day of the year. Yesterday was the busiest.

Noise Pop are planning to be back next year and they've just made what they're calling Super Early Bird tickets for the whole week available for $99 -- think you have until tomorrow to get 'em.

With Fleet Week I'm not sure what the other parts of the city are experiencing, but on the north waterfront it's low fly-overs by the Blue Angels and various other stunt planes. They are so loud and close. It's unnerving

SFGate describes this weekend as "carmaggedon" - Giants/Dodgers game, preseason Warriors game, fleet week etc.
― Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 8 October 2021 23:04 (two years ago) link
Everybody I know is complaining about Fleet Week, which is something I normally do, but this year it kind of feels like a sign of getting back to normal which comforts me. Still... glad I am in the east bay.

This is the first year I can remember that the practice runs are even setting off car alarms.

Aside from the nuisance factor, I’d guess the carbon footprint of all that tricky jet flying is probably close to that of the city of Berkeley for the day (maybe not including the pollution of all the commuters passing through Berkeley).
― recovering internet addict/shitposter (viborg), Saturday, 9 October 2021 14:39 (two years ago) link
I only am reminded of Fleet Week when other people are complaining about it. It blends in with the Oakland Airport flight paths and the regular police and news helicopter sounds, because I live near all the freeways
― sarahell, Saturday, 9 October 2021 18:35 (two years ago) link
Fleet Week is the worst.

I will take Fleet Week over the (probably still to come) week where the temperature is over 90 degrees

as well as the weeks leading up to and through 4th of July when it is shit exploding all the fucking time
Going to see DJ Seinfeld at the Independent tonight. Anyone else going?

everyone in the bay area should see the Joan Mitchell show at SFMOMA
― Dan S, Tuesday, 14 December 2021 00:56 (two years ago) link
also the pastel exhibit 'Color Into Line' at the Palace of the Legion of Honor, which is fantastic and which is curated by a friend
― Dan S, Tuesday, 14 December 2021 01:21 (two years ago) link
The Joan Mitchell exhibit at SFMOMA is comprised of 80 or so works. There are many highlights and it is astonishing. My favorite is Sans Niege, a gigantic painting from 1969 which encompasses three canvasses and which takes up most of a long wall, and which is a summery reference to Monet's winter Vétheuil works. The gallery it is in also has a few other paintings that are among her best.

The impacts of a tsunami stemming from the underwater eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano on Saturday morning are expected to go on for several hours around the Bay Area, with some of the first harbor flooding seen in Santa Cruz. https://t.co/NhcLaNaQL1— SFist (@SFist) January 15, 2022

Anyone want a couple of tickets to The Beths tonight at the Independent? I love them, but we finally roped our drummer into a rehearsal and I’d rather play music than watch music.
― DJI, Tuesday, 8 February 2022 16:19 (two years ago) link
Ha, I'm doing this again. Anyone want some tix to spiritualized next Tuesday at the Fillmore? I have to be out of town for work. I'll give them to you.

Ugggghhh I'm out of town next Tuesday :(

Soooooo, I'm scheduled to be San Francisco on Memorial Day weekend (and the Tuesday before it).
I will take any and all recommendations! Oh, and FAP if that is a thing in these current times.

Well it’s mostly back in gear but COVID rates are rising so there you go. I’ll be out of town all weekend so alas, no FAP for me.

Hard to say this is a 'good' thread but it's a needed one.
THREAD. A rare thing is happening today: we are about to get a window into the secret world of how cops shape the news. There's a hearing this afternoon into how San Francisco cops manipulate the media through “strategic communications.” The internal documents are shocking.— Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec) May 5, 2022

here is a thing to do in San Francisco
http://www.tenderloinmuseum.org/upcoming-public-programs
Punk/Performance in the Loin, a gallery show & public program series that explores the intersection of punk rock and performance art in the wild and ragged Tenderloin of the 1980s, organized by the late, great video artist Dale Hoyt.

Going to be in SF for two nights in December at the end of a trip. I've previously stayed for a few days in both Union Square and the Financial District. Are there other neighborhoods with nice hotels that anyone would recommend?

Consider North Beach? Maybe the Haight?(I don't know if those hoods have hotels but North Beach is nice to walk around, the Haight is close to Golden Gate Park's varied delights)
