Stupid slow loading bullshit.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:04 (twenty years ago)

hrm do you guys use pacbell or comacast in SF?

― svend (svend), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:06 (twenty years ago)

ugh comcast

― svend (svend), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:06 (twenty years ago)

I use SBC. Cable is to fucking expensive.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:07 (twenty years ago)

dsl for me is 49.95 anyways, so think of switching.

― svend (svend), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:09 (twenty years ago)

thinking, sorry

― svend (svend), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:09 (twenty years ago)

My gf pays the huge cable bill. (Freeloader am me)

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:09 (twenty years ago)

SBC DSL is $26.95 or so right now, plus $5 in goofy ass fees of course.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:11 (twenty years ago)

Our system indicates that you already have DSL Internet service installed on this phone line, or you have already placed an order.

I guess I need to tell them not to charge me the 49.99 :)

― svend (svend), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:12 (twenty years ago)

Oh. *puts down gin* I use pacbell DSL until they boost the price.

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:15 (twenty years ago)

I have had it since the start, maybe it just involves switching the name to my gf's from mine to get the cheapy version. I'm still waiting for them to cancel my account for download 100 gigs a month or more though.

― svend (svend), Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:17 (twenty years ago)

Just borrow your neighbor's open WiFi connection.

Unless you're my neighbor.

― mikef (mfleming), Thursday, 3 February 2005 06:49 (twenty years ago)

Hello, I am stopping by briefly to mention that s1ocki is in town (or on his way) as of today and I'll maybe be seeing him tonight or tomorrow evening and definitely Saturday for his movie screening if anyone wants to meet up.

Bye!

― Exile on Montgomery St (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 February 2005 16:38 (twenty years ago)

they have internet access in jail now?

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

i use comcast btw since I also have digital cable and it's only $45 a month although they fucked up my bill for months. I had the @home service years ago, switched to DSL when they went down, but DSL never worked very well for me, dropped connections all the time (this might have been my router, don't know). Anyway both options are more expensive than they should be.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:42 (twenty years ago)

i use SBC DSL @ $26.95, they have a faster DSL service now for $34.95.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:44 (twenty years ago)

It's obv not unlimited.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

this price goes up after a period of time though (the SBC price); maybe they give you a full year these days.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:49 (twenty years ago)

so i don't get it, did adam get scolded for his internet activity?

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

he hates you all

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

it was all that scotland talk

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

I think we signed on for a year at the $26.95 introductory rate.

xpost

He must have 'cause his posting rate has dived precipitously over the last three days.

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 3 February 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

He told me in an e-mail that he is just trying to cut back.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 3 February 2005 18:00 (twenty years ago)

How admirable.

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 3 February 2005 18:08 (twenty years ago)

hi guys! san francisco is nice!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 6 February 2005 02:12 (twenty years ago)

for some weird reason i can't use apple's mail program on the wireless in the hostel though. i can get but not send! FREAKY DEAKY

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 6 February 2005 02:13 (twenty years ago)

are you going to Nickie's to this grime thing? I believe adam and alex are already there. I will be leaving berkeley, uh, at some point.

― kyle (akmonday), Sunday, 6 February 2005 03:45 (twenty years ago)

i did not go there. i went to a festival party and got drunk and stuff.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 6 February 2005 19:59 (twenty years ago)

s1ocki, I got both yr messages and tried calling you back but it isn't working (because it's a payphone?)! I have got some stuff to do for my class today (editing!) at home but maybe I can catch up with you later.

If not...what are your plans for tomorrow late afternoon/early evening?

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Sunday, 6 February 2005 20:49 (twenty years ago)

Adam, did you enjoy the show (after you left I got KK to play "POW" his DJ partner had a copy)?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 6 February 2005 20:55 (twenty years ago)

I loved it! Oh no Pow! :(

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Sunday, 6 February 2005 20:57 (twenty years ago)

Haha you got a song DEDICATED to you! YOU should love it!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 6 February 2005 21:00 (twenty years ago)

I seriously hope they will do a monthly thing though. That would make me soooooo happy!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 6 February 2005 21:01 (twenty years ago)

I am sad we had to leave a little early. I will definitely go back every month for as long as it is on.

and yeah, that was pretty cool, the DJ bigging me up. That guy will go far.

Seriously though, I will never, ever eat a burrito before dancing again. I'd explain why, but it's just gross.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Sunday, 6 February 2005 23:00 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I was actually feelin' kind bloated by the end myself. We stayed until the end of Kameleon's set and said our goodbyes and then headed home and were tucked in before 2am. I am clearly not as young as I used to be.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Sunday, 6 February 2005 23:17 (twenty years ago)

fuck you all for finding parking!

― kyle (akmonday), Monday, 7 February 2005 00:17 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I couldn't believe that. You guys were looking forever! That's crazy talk!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 February 2005 00:23 (twenty years ago)

45 minutes of circling. then we finally just sat at the end of the street and waited for someone to pull out, and then about six cop cars pulled up right in front of us and arrested some guy, so we decided to leave. parking around there is always terrible but that was pretty ridiculous. if I go next time I'm making adam drive me.

― kyle (akmonday), Monday, 7 February 2005 00:39 (twenty years ago)

Sarah drove me home. I was zoned out on a mixture of beer and caffeine and cold medicine and I kept belching up burrito grease.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 February 2005 00:43 (twenty years ago)

We obv parked much much earlier. Adam had amazing parking karma though. Got a spot right between the restaurant and the club.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 February 2005 00:44 (twenty years ago)

tomorrow could be cool adam!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 7 February 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

Okay, well I was maybe thinking of getting something to eat (sushi was mentioned) and then adjourning to a local ale house. Ppl feel free to throw up suggestions. Is there anywhere suitable near EZ5 (I think gygax said upthreadf that the answer is no)? I still like that place!

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 February 2005 02:38 (twenty years ago)

after a totally weird "SF is a small town" experience yesterday I had yet another just now - the Albino guy that always goes to the same shows as me and Alex was in my yoga class!

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:27 (twenty years ago)

!!! Did you talk to him (say YES!)?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:27 (twenty years ago)

Near EZ5? No, I don't think so. There's good sushi near my place though (Midori Mushi and uh the other place on Market btw Guerrero and Valencia. . . I forget the name.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 February 2005 03:37 (twenty years ago)

yoga!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:15 (twenty years ago)

hey guys can i ask another sf question? i need to replace my headphones and i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for electronics shopping, are there any stores/neighbourhoods where i might get a good deal? chinatown?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:16 (twenty years ago)

The reasons to visit Chinatown only seem to grow with time. (I don't know anywhere specific, also Japantown might be worth a try).

yoga!!

Hell yeah. And no, I did not talk to him, he was too busy extending himself to assume Downward Dog.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:42 (twenty years ago)

I would not go to Chinatown for that unless you want to get crap electronics. I'd just go to a Best Buy or a Circuit City.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:52 (twenty years ago)

Slocki, you could make a trip down the penninsula and see another great wonder of the bay area: Fry's. The nearest one to SF, though, is in Palo Alto.

Although I guess they have Fry's all over the country now.

You should go to Chinatown, but maybe not for headphones. Go to the kite store and the fortune cookie factory.

― mikef (mfleming), Monday, 7 February 2005 04:53 (twenty years ago)

There's good sushi near my place though (Midori Mushi and uh the other place on Market btw Guerrero and Valencia. . . I forget the name.)

sushi zone. i love this place

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:16 (twenty years ago)

That's it! Yeah it's quite good, but both of these places get really busy so you gotta either get there early or be ready to wait.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:18 (twenty years ago)

But the plus side to both is that they are pretty near Zeitgeist and the Orbit Room and a whole bunch of other staple SF bars.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:19 (twenty years ago)

Zeitgeist could be good...

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:21 (twenty years ago)

Man, s1ocki, if nothing else I am gonna have a ton of FCP questions for you, I'm struggling with it right now and it's been too long since I've done this. I bet you can't wait!

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 February 2005 05:22 (twenty years ago)

adam, this one's for you:

dudes,


I am feeling sick and probly going to leave work early today! I know we didn't make any specific plans, and I haven't heard from s1ocki, so maybe we should make it another night this week? I can do any day except tomorrow because of class.

s1ocki - call me if you can, I know it's a hassle calling a 510 number, also as kyle will attest I am not good at hearing my ringtone! (I have changed it now to the most annoying ringtone EVER in order to compensate for this)

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 February 2005 21:14 (twenty years ago)

i still never met up w/shakey mo last week. he told me tuesdays and thursdays are good for him, and i'm thinking thursday would be good (i still haven't confirmed with him, so this might not go through again?). mission area?

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Monday, 7 February 2005 21:28 (twenty years ago)

tHURSDAY @ zEITGEIST/sUSHI zONE?

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 February 2005 21:32 (twenty years ago)

Haha you got a song DEDICATED to you! YOU should love it!

What prompted this?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 7 February 2005 21:35 (twenty years ago)

matmos is playing in the marina on thursday, i'm going.

j, i have something for you to give to his bandmate, can we hook up b4 hand?

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 7 February 2005 21:36 (twenty years ago)

What prompted this?

A good question. The answer is twofold.

a) the song in question was some kind of amazing Dr Who theme/DnB mashup and I, being English, found it particularly charming
b) more importantly, I was chatting with said DJ before his set and it turned out that we had a frightneningly similar work history (he had just finished temping at my current workplace and was now going back to his full-time gig at my former place of employment down the street).

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 February 2005 21:45 (twenty years ago)

i'm feeling a little under the weather myself! but yeah, it would probably be better to reschedule. i'll totally call you!

and sushi = YES YES YES

gygax and I took the bus again together. I'm worried people are going to talk.

people do talk. that is one of their primary modes of communication.

I don't think I'm going to be able to see Slocki now. I am booked for the rest of the week.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 16:34 (twenty years ago)

so far i bought:

morgan geist - unclassics (finally)
giorgio moroder - best of (impulse buy, there's some good stuff on it though (i am regretting it a tiny bit tho))
dr buzzard's original savannah band - the first 2 albs
dj /rupture - minesweeper suite

AND THERE IS SO MUCH MORE I WANT!!! i forget to check if mixed up in the hague was there, does anybody know?

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

why do you regret the moroder best of? i have a 2 or 3lp best of, and it's obviously the fucking bizness, but i already have most of it on his other albums.

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 21:47 (twenty years ago)

i don't really regret it!! just wish it was the best of him including collabos, instead of his early acoustic stuff.

nice to have from here to eternity on cd (and nnot just scratchy old vinyl) though. fuck that song rocks the block.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 03:56 (twenty years ago)

thanks michael. it was totally random and unexpected (and not connected with the festival at all). and wicked. i'm so happy. yesterday was the best day ever.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

How long are you in town, slocki?

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 9 February 2005 19:01 (twenty years ago)

s1ocki... i am gonna send you a line and see if you want to test out your food critic skills sometime soon (ie, tonight?).

i'm in town till sunday morning!

is Zeitgeist still on for tomorrow?

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 10 February 2005 04:12 (twenty years ago)

is it? what's zeitgeist? and where is it and how do i get there?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 10 February 2005 04:22 (twenty years ago)

and what do i do when i get there?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 10 February 2005 04:22 (twenty years ago)

it's a biker/rocker/hipster bar that has an outdoor area. i'm not so sure the outdoor area is all that appealing right now, being that it's not really that warm, but it's a cool bar.

http://www.sonic.net/~wwpints/zeitgeist/

it's near a really cool used record store that i may go to before hand, but because of this thread, i may have to sneak any purchases inside the house.

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 10 February 2005 05:10 (twenty years ago)

It looks like we might meet at Sushi Zone at 6 and then maybe hit Zeitgeist? or not? This is a democracy.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 10 February 2005 05:14 (twenty years ago)

how many of you guys are going to sushi? that place is always pretty crazy, and there are only 2 tables of 4 each and a bar that holds 6, so unless you get there right when it opens (pretty hard w/jobs), you're gonna have to wait almost an hour for a table and then maybe 30 min for food. hope i'm not a party killer, but it really is worth it though, so hopefully you'll get lucky and i eat my words.

my faves: spicy hamachi (with lime and jalepeno), hawaiian #1 (whichever one doesn't have mango - they both have macadamian nutz), and the salmon with dill on top. mmmmmm. it's pretty much my regular sushi place

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 10 February 2005 05:29 (twenty years ago)

how many of you guys are going to sushi?

errrr, me. Maybe Alex.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 10 February 2005 06:00 (twenty years ago)

haha, shouldn't be a problem. i'll give you a call after work to find out what's going on. maybe, i'll have sushi w/you

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 10 February 2005 06:02 (twenty years ago)

i'm in for sushi! when? and where?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 10 February 2005 06:17 (twenty years ago)

Hi dere. I think I'm coming up again soon, but without my nutter uncle. With my nutter roommate.

when? i guess not as soon as this weekend--i'd luv for you to come see my movie

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 10 February 2005 06:22 (twenty years ago)

Gah, can't. I have to supervise an ADR session on Saturday. Do you have any DVD prints yet?

― Remy (x Jeremy), Thursday, 10 February 2005 06:24 (twenty years ago)

oh yeah, i totally do. (made 'em myself!) i'll send you one when i get back if you like.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 10 February 2005 06:26 (twenty years ago)

very much -- is the email address valid? I'll pop you over my mailing address.

i'm watching this show on A&E called San Francisco Vice, and it's all about cops patrolling for prostitution. one of the spots they're constantly picking johns up is right up the street from me at 10th and mission in front of king's burgers!

then they showed an unpermited massage house in the sunset that housed a whole slew of "young, very attractive, high class prostitutes".

man, this show is fun.


xxx-post, slocki, are you showing it anywhere while you're here?

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 10 February 2005 06:28 (twenty years ago)

DUDE, have you even been reading? :)

s1ocki, we were talking about meeting @ Sushi Zone @ 6. I don't know where it is?

We are watching Garden State. It's boring.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 10 February 2005 06:33 (twenty years ago)

DUDE, have you even been reading? :)

this to me?

actually, not really. i sorta zone out half the time.

i think most of the movie showing posts are in the last thread anyways.

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 10 February 2005 06:38 (twenty years ago)

Sushi Zone is at the corner of Pearl (a tiny little alley street between Guerrero and Valencia) & Market. it's around the corner from said record store and the film bookstore i think you guys were talking about earlier. also around the corner, for reference, is DLX skate shop and Destino, a peruvian restaurant.

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 10 February 2005 06:41 (twenty years ago)

what's the best way to get there from 21st & mission?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 10 February 2005 07:29 (twenty years ago)

also jason, check this:

you should come!

what's the best way to get there from 21st & mission?

-- s1ocki (slytus...), February 9th, 2005 11:29 PM. (slutsky)

Take the #14 bus up from 21st towards downtown/ferry terminal 8 blocks to 13th Street/Duboce Street (this can be confusing as Duboce is essentially 13th street, just get off after 14th street). Upon exiting, go west (on Duboce), away from the construction (notable landmark: you will pass Zeitgeist on your right when you pass Duboce/Valencia). Continue straight (uphill on Duboce) for 2/3rds of a block and you will see an alley on the right side of the street named Pearl (should be after Elgin and before Guerrero). Make a right into the alley and continue uphill until you almost hit the busy street (market) and look to your right and you will see "Sushi Zone", a hawaiian-style sushi bar.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 10 February 2005 07:57 (twenty years ago)

Oh also I am sorry I can't make it, I will be at the Exploratorium for the early Matmos show but let me know what you guys are doing afterward and I can meet up possibly?

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 10 February 2005 08:00 (twenty years ago)

do i need to buy presale tickets? not sure if i'm gonna make it (want to, looks good) and that buy link on the site goes nowhere.

xxxxxpost (damn) also, from 21rst and mission (this is 4blocks from my work - 21rst & Harrison), you can either take the 14 bus ($1.25), or if you want to walk (i will be - it's 1.8 miles). you can go down mission, turn left on duboce, turn right on pearl.

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Thursday, 10 February 2005 08:01 (twenty years ago)

Anyone want to volunteer to do some cool stuff in SF?

― C-Man (C-Man), Thursday, 10 February 2005 10:09 (twenty years ago)

Haha I guess that's a no.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 10 February 2005 16:12 (twenty years ago)

Yes, I would love to help you out, C-Man. I'll be there. Just let me know when and where and set aside some work for me.

― Who did release magic family out from the base of $499 (deangulberry), Thursday, 10 February 2005 16:14 (twenty years ago)

That indie fest is rubbish by the way - there's no guests and the guy that runs it is a nasty piece of work and has been so to some very good friends of mine.

― C-Man (C-Man), Thursday, 10 February 2005 16:20 (twenty years ago)

Well Slocki's film is very funny (and they were there talking to the audience--does that make them "guests"?) and I wouldn't have seen if not for the fest so there ya go. I have no idea if the guy that runs is a shit or not though (wouldn't shock me though.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 10 February 2005 16:33 (twenty years ago)

I’ve never met the guy who ran it but he was nasty to not only the organisers of Fearless (from before I was involved by the way) but to a young filmmaker friend of mine. Some of the films are fine and – again – I’ve never met him. To my knowledge the more horror fests the better. I hope you make ours this year, and certainly we try as hard as anyone to put on a good show.

― C-Man (C-Man), Thursday, 10 February 2005 16:45 (twenty years ago)

I am filmmaker.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 10 February 2005 17:33 (twenty years ago)

Hear him roar.

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 10 February 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

Well, like I said, good luck to them but anyone who is shitty to my friends is no friend of mine.

OK,plug over!

― C-Man (C-Man), Thursday, 10 February 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

I'm so suspicious whether it even is Calum anymore. There are so many fake Calum's running around it is tough to keep track of them.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 10 February 2005 18:14 (twenty years ago)

Oh please.

― C-Man (C-Man), Thursday, 10 February 2005 18:16 (twenty years ago)

Fangoria still exists?

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 10 February 2005 18:23 (twenty years ago)

haha!

the people behind the festival have been nothing but incredibly great to us.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 10 February 2005 18:53 (twenty years ago)

(and they do run a horror fest too)

(jason are you sure you clicked on the right "buy tix" link? there's an outdated one for the feb 5 screening that doesn't work no more.)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 10 February 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

oh yeah, you're right. so do i need presale tix or do you think there will be tickets at the door?

When is your grime night Alex?

― C-Man (C-Man), Thursday, 10 February 2005 22:29 (twenty years ago)

Well it was last Saturday. Theoretically it was supposed to be the first Saturday of every month, but now it looks like it won't be due to crazzzy club politics.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 10 February 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

the should move it out of that lousy hippy infested neighborhood anyway!

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 10 February 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

Haha the Lower Haight isn't that hippy-ish!! It's probably the most mixed neighborhood in the city (next to the part of the Western Addition I just moved from maybe.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 10 February 2005 22:34 (twenty years ago)

I saw at least three hippies while I was looking for parking. Two of them were shortly under the WHEELS OF MY CAR

I am going to put on my own grime night, then. In Walnut Creek.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 10 February 2005 22:39 (twenty years ago)

And hair salons, adam. Let's not forget the hair salons.

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 10 February 2005 22:46 (twenty years ago)

Yeah there are more hair salons per person in the Lower Haight than anywhere else in the world.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 10 February 2005 22:50 (twenty years ago)

yes my wife gets her hair cut down here

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 10 February 2005 22:52 (twenty years ago)

The most unusual thing about the Lower Haight is that of the 25 or so restaurants in the area, about 1/3 of them are either Ethiopian/Eritrean or Indian/Pakistani.

Union Street is Cow Hollow but Union/Chestnut are largely same crowd. I used to live down there and hated it.

I like Betelnut

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 10 February 2005 23:54 (twenty years ago)

Betelnut is good. I probably know some of the old Perry's bartenders. Dragon Well on Chestnut is OK. Marina Lounge. Izzy's. I still know lot's of the crew at the Brazen Head.

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 10 February 2005 23:57 (twenty years ago)

i'm not so sure the outdoor area is all that appealing right now, being that it's not really that warm, but it's a cool bar.

it is 65 today!

yeah, it's pretty great out today.

ok, i'm leaving work. i'm gonna try to meat (hehe) up with gygax and go to the exploratorium. i'll give you a call adam later to see where you guys are and maybe we'll get a drink.

Sparks after sake, whoo, I feel whacky

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 11 February 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

I feel sincerely not wacky right now. The bitters and soda are beginning to settle my stomach. Actually my desk is like a walking ad for the fact that I am hungover right now between the huge bottle of soda water, the bitters and the Wal-profen tablets spilled everywhere. And WOO HOO I have morning conference calls. I just know I'm gonna crabby for those.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 11 February 2005 16:33 (twenty years ago)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 14 February 2005 08:32 (twenty years ago)

True, I did. We have one slot left for a 16mm/ 35mm showing if anyone knows of/ or has anything of interest.

This one right? It's not an indie fest film is it?

― C-Man (C-Man), Monday, 14 February 2005 16:22 (twenty years ago)

Yes, it was in the SF Indie film fest. I saw it last night (friend got me on the list. . . it was completely sold out and there was good audience response.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 February 2005 16:26 (twenty years ago)

It might have been an option but we're not showing anything that's been at indie fest. I have a few possible options, including a Sundance premiere, but it people drag their feet...

― C-Man (C-Man), Monday, 14 February 2005 16:28 (twenty years ago)

Are you coming along to Fearless btw?

― C-Man (C-Man), Monday, 14 February 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

Of course. I'm gonna try to see The Candy Snatchers and Deep Red at the very least.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 February 2005 16:32 (twenty years ago)

Try and make the Landis and HG Lewis nights. Introduce yourself.

― C-Man (C-Man), Monday, 14 February 2005 16:35 (twenty years ago)

I will try. Is the actual schedule and times up somewhere? Or is it still up in the air?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 February 2005 16:39 (twenty years ago)

John is definately Friday 1st April at 7pm - two films of his and Q and A afterwards.

Tim Sullivan for 2001 Maniacs is 9pm, Q and A/ preview after original 2000 Maniacs. Party for John at Meedjpool afterwards with all guests there.

Saturday 2nd at 7pm is Jeff Burr, two films/ Q and A.

Mike's hoping to have times online tonight.

― C-Man (C-Man), Monday, 14 February 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

is that the medjool on mission c-man? cuz that's where i stayed!!

how was dead birds alex? that was unfortunately conflicting with my friends' film, i hope they still got a good turnout.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 14 February 2005 21:17 (twenty years ago)

It was pretty good. It's kind of a cross between every evil house/cabin movie ever, The Ring and Ride With The Devil. Some neat effects and gore, clever references, good music and decent nice scares. It's definitely better film than Cabin Fever which was referenced in the little blurb on the poster. The director also showed a short film he did too which was also nicely done (and had really production values.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 February 2005 21:24 (twenty years ago)

i don't like cabin fever. but the trailer for dead birds looked good, like a western haunted house movie (which is i guess what you just said!)

anyway dudes, it was really great to hang out with you all, you really made me feel welcome & my only regret is that i was too busy with biz/festival stuff to make it out more. i really loved sf & i can't wait to go back!!

oh and tipoff: taste of tea is playing again, i didn't make it becuz we were drinking sparks but my it completely blew my friends' minds. go see it tomorrow!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 14 February 2005 21:26 (twenty years ago)

Featuring DJs Carlos D of Interpol, The Lovemakers, Gold Chains, Omar,Aaron, Sean, Nako, and Disco Shawn.

Carlos D, the beloved bassist for Interpol, hardly needs to pursue a career as a DJ. He could easily pursue the typical bass-player lifestyle: Get smashed onstage because everyone's watching the singer, fondle someone backstage, vomit behind a dumpster, pass out in the bus. But little Carlos can't seem to stop -- or sleep. And, by all accounts, he gives no rest to those who attend his famous afterparties in New York City clubs, where Mr. D. keeps the floor packed sometimes until 10 a.m. What makes this ashen-faced lad so successful as a DJ, we think, is his apparent "take it and like it" attitude, clear not only in his confidence at the turntables but also in his gothic speakeasy attire -- complete with leather shoulder holster -- and especially in the almost immediate silencing of blogger allegations that the famous bassist had passed around a bit of the ol' HSV.

"how could anyone dislike Cabin Fever?!"

I didn't dislike it, but I didn't love it either. It was just kind of meh.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 February 2005 21:39 (twenty years ago)

I didn't like Cabin Fever. Guys, my knowledge of San Francisco aint too great - but there are directions to Medjpool at www.fearlesstales.com We hired out the Werepad last year for Tobe Hooper and Jack Hill and that was pretty good.

More dates and times:

Matt Cimber is on the Weds at 7pm at the Victoria. He's screening "Hundra" and "The Witch who came from the Sea", which is an interesting "video nasty".

I think The Candy Snatchers might be a Friday 1.30pm showing - sorry if anyone misses it. All the Castro films are excellent though.

― C-Man (C-Man), Monday, 14 February 2005 21:45 (twenty years ago)

1:30pm!!! What kind of showing is that?!?! You guys are aware that people in America work on Fridays, right?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 February 2005 21:46 (twenty years ago)

Whatever.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 February 2005 22:13 (twenty years ago)

Yip, sorry Alex. We have spaces to fill there and gave the more prime time slots to the premieres and the Q and A stuff.

― C-Man (C-Man), Monday, 14 February 2005 22:15 (twenty years ago)

I'm kind of baffled why you have any movies showing at 1:30pm on a Friday. On a weekend day, I get. At 4-4:30 I can even understand. How many people can go to movies midafternoon on weekday though?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 February 2005 22:17 (twenty years ago)

It comes down to The Castro having slots available for Fearless and us filling them with something more than anything else. I would not expect a big turnout for Candy Snatchers, personally.

― C-Man (C-Man), Monday, 14 February 2005 22:24 (twenty years ago)

Well if it really is showing then, I might try to take a crazy long lunch that day. That really is too bad though.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 February 2005 22:26 (twenty years ago)

Who or what is "Blueberry"?

I'm a sucker for movies based on Moebius comics...

totally o/t but allison saw rosario dawson at Trader Joes on bryant and 9th (one block from my house) this weekend and i was too tired to go see her :(

she is the beautiful

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:16 (twenty years ago)

Was she doing a signing or something at Trader Joe's?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:19 (twenty years ago)

You're so jaded, Jason.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:21 (twenty years ago)

just shopping

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:37 (twenty years ago)

She is beautiful enough to walk a block to gawk at.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:39 (twenty years ago)

Is she one of those rare celebs who looks good IRL. I am constantly shocked upon seeing stars (Pamela Anderson, Courtney Cox, Cameron Diaz--none of whom I think is particularly attractive anyway) how terribly freakish they all looked. Just bone-y or badly madeup or misshapen or all three (I swear Diaz skull was so large she looked like a bobble head and Anderson looked like someone applied her make-up like spackle--airbrushing is clearly her friend.) But I could see Dawson still be very beautiful.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:47 (twenty years ago)

allison said she was HAWT!!. and she was just wearing sweats or something.

― Tito JaXoN (JasonD), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:48 (twenty years ago)

Well maybe we should all shop at that Trader Joe's more often then.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:49 (twenty years ago)

From the Men in Black permiere 3 yrs ago. Hair's been done and she has a modest amount of makeup but this is just a news photo and she looks charming.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:50 (twenty years ago)

Your concept of modest is FAR FAR different from mine, Michael.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:51 (twenty years ago)

Perhaps, but she's not wearing obsecene amounts of foundation, nor excessive eyeshadow/mascara, nor a particularly showy lipstick.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 19:59 (twenty years ago)

So not looking like Dame Edna is modest, okay, I can dig it.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 20:01 (twenty years ago)

Dude, if you were a hot chick with an acting career, there's every reason to think you would be more made up than that at a premiere.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 20:02 (twenty years ago)

Haha yeah but I WOULD BE GOING FOR THE DAME EDNA LOOK!

whoops! wrong thread!

Alex if we ever meet and you don't look like Dame Edna I'm going to be very disappointed.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 15 February 2005 20:14 (twenty years ago)

I don't know if Alex can pull of the Australian accent though.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 20:22 (twenty years ago)

"Alex if we ever meet and you don't look like Dame Edna I'm going to be very disappointed."

I will do my best not to disappoint you, Shakey, but I should warn you that I lack Edna's rather imposing physique.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 17:46 (twenty years ago)

i'm only interested in seeing Tim as Phil isn't going to be there, i have a friend in town who may/not be interested... what else is going on that night earlier?

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

According to Flavorpill, exactly nothing.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 17:55 (twenty years ago)

i'm pretty sure i'm going. it's my friends 30th bday and he lives right around the corner from club 6

"you know 30 year olds?"

Adam you know THIRTY year olds (and soon to be thirty year olds)!

How late is it going? 4am?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 18:37 (twenty years ago)

Anybody following this?

No, but it looks pretty. I hope they don't demolish it and turn it into condos.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 18 February 2005 22:52 (twenty years ago)

I feel bad for these old theaters, but I also see how it would be really hard to keep them viable as businesses these days.

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 18 February 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

Well this theater hasn't been open in eons, I don't think.

Phoenecia plays a raved out thing at 1015 folsom tonight. They are on at 1 am or so. I am going. You should too. They rule. That is all.

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Friday, 18 February 2005 23:03 (twenty years ago)

"Jim Siegel, a candidate for D5, made two offers to buy the building, with the intent to preserve the Harding for theatrical use. The building was sold for $1.6 million. Siegel was overbid by only $100,000. Another person from the neighborhood, Rohini Moradi, also said she has been working on similar plans for a restaurant/theater for Harding."

Pity.

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 18 February 2005 23:07 (twenty years ago)

I realize that now, the name wasn't familiar. What do you do with these old places? What would be a good use for them that would maintain the architectural integrity? the idea of turning them into gyms like that one company does is bizarre and dumb. They would make cool clubs if the seats were taken out, I guess.

(xpost)

the last time I went to 1015 it was so gross. Is it still gross?

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 18 February 2005 23:07 (twenty years ago)

there is an old theater in Berkeley that has been turned into a Long's. They kept the deco ceiling (this is on University at San Pablo). It is, uh, weird.

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 18 February 2005 23:09 (twenty years ago)

like that one company does is bizarre and dumb At least it keeps them from being torn down.

If someone put the money into them, they might make great venues/nightclubs.

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 18 February 2005 23:12 (twenty years ago)

What did they end up doing with the Coliseum, Michael? Is it condos now?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 18 February 2005 23:13 (twenty years ago)

There is no reason to assume that 1015 is not hella gross. Proceed with caution, but Phoenecia are the point here.

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Friday, 18 February 2005 23:23 (twenty years ago)

Which one was the Coliseum, Alex?

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 18 February 2005 23:28 (twenty years ago)

Between 8th and 9th on Clement. It was closed after '89 for retrofiting and then it sat abandoned for over a decade.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 18 February 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

I don't know.

― Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 18 February 2005 23:36 (twenty years ago)

I need to find somewhere in the city or the East Bay to buy animal masks, pedestals, a temporary fence, possibly some kind of orb...for my film.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 18:47 (twenty years ago)

If you find them in one place, let me know 'cause that'll be one heck of an emporium.

How was Yosemite?

We had no news of the weather from around here, but driving back on 580, Sarah, ever the Midwesterner, looked at the sky to the North and said "the only time I've seen a sky like that is before/after a tornado". She was right.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 18:57 (twenty years ago)

I would recommend going to Chinatown for all of that.

Adam, are you gonna come to Amoeba today?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 19:01 (twenty years ago)

I can't!

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 19:03 (twenty years ago)

Another thing about this weird country/Midwest sixth sense - we took a rest stop in Oakdale (home to a Starbuck's staffed entirely by rabidly attractive people,) and there was an awful smell on the wind. Sarah took one sniff and said "ah, a pig farm". And again, it turned out that she was right.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 23 February 2005 19:07 (twenty years ago)

Seriously, is there such a thing as a temporary fence? One you can roll out wherever you like and then quickly collapse and transport elsehwere? It seems like there should be!

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 24 February 2005 18:00 (twenty years ago)

White picket? Or mesh metal?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 24 February 2005 18:07 (twenty years ago)

Special events companies have white picket fence for patios but it doesn't come so cheap. What do you need it for and how long?

― Michael White (Hereward), Thursday, 24 February 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

Dude, just steal someones' fence. What are they gonna do? Shoot ya?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 24 February 2005 18:10 (twenty years ago)

WHite picket would be great, but it doesn't matter. I don't really have any money to spend, I'll have to improvise.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 24 February 2005 18:17 (twenty years ago)

I have no idea where one finds fake white picket fences. I don't know anyone who has a real one either, actually.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 24 February 2005 18:18 (twenty years ago)

Michael Mayer is at the Mighty on 3/4, I believe.

I don't go into the East Bay so I have no idea how to get around except by BART or car or walking.

xxxxpost:

If you hate driving, you will completely despise driving in SF.

There are 3 transbay buses from Alameda to the SF transbay terminal. It might be easier to take BART from downtown Oakland 12th street but you'd have to get there via the Oakland bus system (AC Transit).

Shows:
# Yellow Swans, Zeek Sheck, Chuck Bettis @ Hemlock, SF (2/26)
# Damon & Naomi w/ Vetiver @ Bottom of the Hill, SF (2/26)
# Tom Carter, Leavenworth, Jeff Gburek @ Hemlock, SF (3/1)
# Sage Francis @ Fillmore, SF (3/2)
# Xiu Xiu, Dead Science, Rum Diary @ Bottom of the Hill, SF (3/3)
# DMBQ* @ Hemlock SF (3/3) = *featuring members of OoioO
# Michael Mayer @ Mighty, SF (3/4)

(I will be trying to do both shows on the 3rd)

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 24 February 2005 18:52 (twenty years ago)

DMBQ* featuring members of OoioO

this is like, the funniest set of opaque band names ever.

So I went to Chinatown and found lots of beautiful junk that I think I can use, but no masks! Don't children wear masks anymore?

Easily the BEST thing I saw was a series of pipes for sale, all with "PIPE" written on them in silvery-blue lettering and a picture of a distinguised mustachioed man on the packaging. They all had titles like "The Professional", "The Gentleman" and "The Author".

I'm keeping English hours, 9-5. I went to the Amoeba in Berkeley when I got in Sunday, so that's done. I haven't really hit anything touristy yet. I want to go to Chinatown at some point and see if I can find a Grace Chang CD. Problem is, most of my exploring is limited to the early evenings.

I got into a fight in my class last night because I said that Million Dollar Baby was the worst film I saw all year and this other guy said well you must not see many movies and I said DUDE I spend my whole life watching movies you don't know what you are talking about. And then he asked me what I DID think was good and I said Bad Education and he hadn't heard of it.

Bad Education is darker and more twisty. It is probably my favorite movie of 2004.

CCSF is a bit like Dangerous Minds sometimes. Some of the weird guys made a movie where you think two guys are going to a bathroom stall for illicit bathroom sex and it turns out that they are just rolling a joint.

"Some of the weird guys made a movie where you think two guys are going to a bathroom stall for illicit bathroom sex and it turns out that they are just rolling a joint."

This sounds brilliant although the reverse would have been even better!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 20:37 (twenty years ago)

MUCH better!

I think there is one guy that actually lives on campus. I always see him walking about with a rolled up sleeping bag. He has HUGE sideburns and loves the Ramones.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 20:38 (twenty years ago)

Even better though would have been if they had been going into the stall to shoot steroids and then at the end you find out that it's dramatic reenactment of the Jose Canseco/Mark McGwire story.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 20:42 (twenty years ago)

Especially if after shooting the steroids they start flexing their muscles and making out.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 20:43 (twenty years ago)

As you can probably imagine, I have no idea what you are talking about!

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 20:50 (twenty years ago)

Homoeroticism in professional sports!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 20:52 (twenty years ago)

Homosteroidism in professional sports! Sorry Alex, but I'd really not like to think of anyone making out with Canseco.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 20:56 (twenty years ago)

Well it would be two skinny CCSF hipsters making out so you would be spared the ACTUAL sight, Michael.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 20:57 (twenty years ago)

I have been eating lunch in the Crocker Galleria! I am addicted to the cheap and very average sushi and gyoza!

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 20:59 (twenty years ago)

I'm sorry.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 21:03 (twenty years ago)

It's sad how excited I am to find a new downtown lunch spot.

ate pizza with kyle and watched the oscars

adam also gave us colds!

why were the oscars so boring?

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 3 March 2005 00:46 (twenty years ago)

Did I really give you colds?

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 March 2005 00:54 (twenty years ago)

I think so. that's okay though, it might have been our smelly coworkers.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 3 March 2005 01:04 (twenty years ago)

Well, I gave it to Sarah too. It is an awful cold, I can't breathe!

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Thursday, 3 March 2005 01:10 (twenty years ago)

thanks for the words of hope!

Yippee, one of the great Euro-horror directors makes it to the fest. Feeling damn good about this.

― C-Var, Monday, 7 March 2005 13:25 (twenty years ago)

adam, alex, did you guys have fun at the mayer show friday night?

i was gonna make up some lie about how i went and just never saw you and was gonna ask if you were wearing banana suits or something, but in all reality, i bitched out. i had three friends that told me they were gonna go with me, and then when it finally came down to it, they all flaked, so i stayed home, got drunk and played vice city all night.

― JaXoN Hole (JasonD), Monday, 7 March 2005 17:55 (twenty years ago)

You could at least have stayed home to play a GOOD videogame.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 March 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

How was the weather here over the weekend?

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:17 (twenty years ago)

Haha we knew you bitched out, but yeah, it was a good time, JaX0N.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:25 (twenty years ago)

The weather was fantastic.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:25 (twenty years ago)

I sat around a pool all day Sunday in nearly 80 degree wather. Every fruit tree was flamboyantly in bloom and the birds were chattering madly which was all that reminded me it's only March. I can't wait for spring/summer.

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

I'm normally not a big sunshine lollipops person but, after nearly 3 months of rain, murk, mold and general unpleasantness, I'm eagerly awaiting it too.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:32 (twenty years ago)

Every fruit tree was flamboyantly in bloom

Is this a euphemism?

xp- I think the only person who likes sunshine and outdoors LESS than you is kyle. What is wrong with you people???

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:34 (twenty years ago)

Not a euphemism, adam, not even exageration. It was very beautiful.

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

The sun hurts my eyes. Also my skin. Also grey is my favorite color.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:43 (twenty years ago)

You could at least have stayed home to play a GOOD videogame.

i got vice city free when i got the playstation. it's been sitting wrapped since xmas. finally opened it that night. we also have soul kaliber 2. the only game that actually gets played in our house is DDR

― JaXoN Hole (JasonD), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:45 (twenty years ago)

i hate the sun, and the rain, and the ocean.

but it was really nice this weekend

― JaXoN Hole (JasonD), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

Do y'all hate puppies and rainbows and ponies too?

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:48 (twenty years ago)

Michael are you an 8 year old girl or something? Are you going to have a hot pink Trapper Keeper under your arm next time I see you?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 March 2005 18:49 (twenty years ago)

No. Maybe, but it'll cost you extra.

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:06 (twenty years ago)

I'm only paying more if your hair is crimped too.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:07 (twenty years ago)

There is a special hole in your head directly between your eyes and about halfway up your forehead (about where your third eye should be) that feeds on sunlight and it's important to keep it fed otherwise you get sad.

I love the ocean too!

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:07 (twenty years ago)

"There is a special hole in your head directly between your eyes and about halfway up your forehead (about where your third eye should be) that feeds on sunlight and it's important to keep it fed otherwise you get sad."

Adam, I know Mommy might've told you different, but that man got shot in the head and no amount of sunlight was gonna make him feel better.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:11 (twenty years ago)

Adam makes so much more sense now that I realize he has had trepanning done.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:12 (twenty years ago)

I'm only paying more if your hair is crimped too.

Maybe I'll just send you Juliette Lewis on one of those days when she's off her meds. I can crimp her hair, put on her rainbow tube-top, and give her the Trapper Keeper w/the My Little Pony stickers on it.

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:14 (twenty years ago)

Haha is that the crazy thing where they drill a hole in your head so as to "allow it to breath"?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:14 (twenty years ago)

Juliet Lewis is on meds?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:15 (twenty years ago)

one of those days she's off her meds

I forgot to check. I think there's about 364 days per anuum when she's 'off her meds'.

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:18 (twenty years ago)

I like Juliette Lewis.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

In what?

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 7 March 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

anyone remember this? (found diary of teenage junkie girl in SF) i just rediscovered it in my bookmarks

― Aaron A., Tuesday, 8 March 2005 07:01 (twenty years ago)

gnarly. i'll read this tomorrow at work.

this is sort of what the new mars volta is based on. one of em found a diary of some random kid and finished it in his voice. he then passed away from an overdose and the rest of the band based the album on it.

― The JaXoN 5 (JasonD), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 07:17 (twenty years ago)

Wow. Amazing. I just read that in its entirety. I have a new respect for the friends of mine who have sucessfully quit using junk. Jesus.

What is it about the web.archive that angers Websense so?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 16:58 (twenty years ago)

I am screening my first experimental kinowerk this evening and the film still isn't back from the lab!

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:13 (twenty years ago)

OH NO!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

Everything in my life is like this!

(It can't be MY fault!)

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:17 (twenty years ago)

Living dangerously, eh adam? Are you going to get it back from the lab today?

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:18 (twenty years ago)

I had to send it down to LA so hopefully it will be in my mailbox when I get back from work.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:20 (twenty years ago)

Can we talk about The Mission?

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

gygax says he doesn't like it.

kyle likes it.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

The neighborhood? Or the movie?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

Should we try to arrange to retell your cinematic tale by way of Wayang puppets?

xpost

I like the Mission.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

the neighborhood.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:25 (twenty years ago)

Would you live there?

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:25 (twenty years ago)

Like it how? Want to live there? Enjoy going out there?

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:26 (twenty years ago)

I'd live there. The transpo is good. There's good food. Good weather.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:28 (twenty years ago)

It's a mixed bag, but I definitely would live there. It's a great neighborhood to shop, eat and hang out in.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:28 (twenty years ago)

What is bad about it?

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:35 (twenty years ago)

Parking, crime, late-night noise.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

Well there are definitely some parts of the Mission that are less than comfortable to walk through late at night. And if you are woman there are parts that can be downright uncomfortable all the time (I've heard some pretty unpleasant stories from ladies who've been followed for blocks, onto buses, etc, by groups of guys hooting and hollering and making obscene gestures.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

Ugh

I am not sure which (SF) neighborhood I actually covet living in right now, should I move in a few months. I need to start thinking about this. Like the East Bay but sick of getting up at the crack of dawn because of Sarah's commute.

xp-okay, well we're not moving there

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:41 (twenty years ago)

Where does Sarah work?

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:43 (twenty years ago)

Well you don't want to limit yourself to one neighborhood anyway. SF is one of those towns where it is good to have a general area of where you want to live and then have a bunch of specific areas within that area that you won't live (like Capp and 21st/23rd or between Division/15th and Mission/Valencia, for example) and then look at everywhere else in the general area until ya find something you like.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

And by general area, I mean like 75% of the city.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:49 (twenty years ago)

Alex is right. Also, you have a car, I believe, so there are parts of town less desirable just because it'll be hell parking and moving it.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

i used to love the mission, but it is still suffering from whatever it is that neighborhoods like that suffer from.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

Once they muscled out all the Irish, it lost it's ethnic flavor.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:58 (twenty years ago)

She works in Belmont.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 17:59 (twenty years ago)

How close to Bart are you now?

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 18:02 (twenty years ago)

We have a car. I love to drive and I love cars.

We are very close to BART, but she drives.

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

She should leave the car at the SFO/Burlingame parking lot at night and drive it to work in the am and back to the garage in the pm, getting to and from the garage by BART. (Not entirely serious about this)

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 18:08 (twenty years ago)

Adam get a map of SF from AAA (actually I'll GET a map from AAA haha) and next time we have a FAP everyone can highlight the parts of SF that you should and shouldn't look at.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

What about Cole Valley?

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

That's a nice area. It can be kind of pricy though. It was high on our list of prospective neighborhoods though.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 18:23 (twenty years ago)

One of my best friends lives there. Very nice, pricey, but good neighborhood, easy train access to Downtown or 9th/Irving, close to Haight, Buena Vista and GG Parks.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 18:26 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to see 'The Conformist' Thursday at the Castro. Is anybody else going while it's there?

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

Was thinking about it, but so little time.

What about TEH WILD PARROTS OF TELEGRAPH HILL?

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:22 (twenty years ago)

I want to see this too. I think I mentioned here that my friend lives right above Mark Bittner's place on Telegraph Hill and we're supposed to see it together, but when?

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:25 (twenty years ago)

I've already seen The Conformist (at the Castro too, natch!) I'd see it again, but I doubt I will find the time.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:30 (twenty years ago)

Adam, didn't you think Coffee and Cigs was funny in a totally understated way? The Bill Murray skecth had myself, and the others at the press screening, in stitches.

Hey, different strokes and all that though.

― Zarr, Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:45 (twenty years ago)

Not funny, no. There is a fine line between understated and non-existent.

Panhandle?

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:50 (twenty years ago)

xp-I liked the English part. The English part of most things is good.

Panhandle is fine. Parts of Western Addition, Lower Haight, Duboce Triangle, all nice. Bernal Heights is a ways out and hard to get to/from. Potrero Hill is lovely. Potrero Hill is where OJ grew up.

Did I say that? My girlfriend called upper Polk the Brunette Marina but it's sort of true of Noe too. It's a little too white and child-rearing for my taste, though one would never suspect that by looking at me.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 20:20 (twenty years ago)

adam, I think my gf might be ordering this:

'Piccadilly'
The Chinese-American actress Anna May Wong was billed third in the British silent film "Piccadilly," playing an exotic dancer who seduces a nightclub owner (Jameson Thomas) away from her chief rival (Gilda Gray, the film's ostensible star). But Wong, who had gone to England to escape the ethnic stereotyping to which she had been subjected in Hollywood films, assumes complete command of "Piccadilly" from her first appearance. A figure of complex and ungovernable sexuality, both in "Piccadilly" and, it's said, in life, Wong presents herself as an unabashed erotic totem, performing almost naked before a room of society swells and violating plenty of Asian and American standards of behavior in the process.

Directed with avant-garde flourishes (like an amazing 360-degree pan around the vast nightclub set) by a German guest worker, E. A. Dupont ("Variety"), and written with melodramatic savvy by the novelist Arnold Bennett, "Piccadilly" was one of the last gasps of the silent cinema, a form effectively dead by the time it opened in London in 1929. This excellent release from Milestone Film and Video, transferred from a tinted restoration by the British Film Institute, includes the clumsy talking prologue tacked on in a hopeless attempt to bring the picture up to date. There's a wealth of background material about Wong, including scholarly articles and video clips from a conference on Wong held at the 2004 San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival. $29.99. Not rated.

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 22:31 (twenty years ago)

a 360-degree pan, eh?

― adam.r.l. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

― The JaXoN 5 (JasonD), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)

pan:
movement of camera from left to right or vice versa on a stationary tripod. On the screen, it produces a mobile framing which scans the space horizontally. Not to be confused with tracking shot.

Is there a better term?

― Michael White (Hereward), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 22:36 (twenty years ago)

i think he's saying it's not so avant garde?

― The JaXoN 5 (JasonD), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 22:38 (twenty years ago)

that part of SF is all sketchy, is what it is. (xpost)
Like the East Bay but sick of getting up at the crack of dawn because of Sarah's commute.

why do you get up when she has to leave? is this courtesy or something else?

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

adam, knowing you and your wife, areas of SF you would feel comfortable living in: cole valley, parts of Potrero (PARTS of it), inner sunset, cow hollow (no parking though), the castro/duboce triangle (no parking again)

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

miguel blanco,

no es neccessidad usar la persona segunda para Adam.

¡am;gygax!

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

adam should move to the marina.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

"I like the Marina!!!!"

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 17:52 (twenty years ago)

adam and his wife really like piedmont ave in oakland; with that as a guide, unfortunately, I would think that most parts of SF that they would really like are stupid expensive. except for the inner sunset! which is where I would live if I moved here.
I don't think we'll ever move to SF now, since we'll probably have a kid eventually and I hear nothing but grief and misery from parents here re: the SF school system these days and we can't afford private school, so I think we'll stay in berkeley.

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 17:55 (twenty years ago)

Nice way to say we are fussy.

We are, though. We spend a lot of time at home!

The marina has some pretty houses in it.

― Senior Executive/CEO (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 18:00 (twenty years ago)

The Marina, among other factors, is too cold. It's foggy all summer long and there's often wind.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

I'm married and I used to stay in bed until way after my wife left for work, until they started making me get here by 8:30!

the marina is beautiful. I'd live there if I were rich.

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

you can just say "gygax!", i think people will know who you mean.

Actually, I thought about calling kyle too, but I knew it was his anniversary so I didn't, and Alex but he doesn't drive much (ever?).

― Senior Executive/CEO (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

if I won the lottery I'd buy a fucking mansion in seacliff and never fucking leave, I'd live in the topmost room, stare out at the ocean all day, drink 24 hours a day, and go mad.

If I had enough money, I still wouldn't live in Pacific or Laurel or Presidio Heights or Seacliff. My SF pied à terre would be on Telegraph or Russian Hill or at the top of the Castro near Twin Peaks.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 18:17 (twenty years ago)

mike lurks everywhere, i have recently discovered.

the top of castro is pretty awesome, there are some gorgeous houses up there, I love to go up there at christmastime, they go crazy with the lights and decorations. I always get lost there as well.

mel's is vile, and I say that admitting that I ate there all the time in college (at the berkeley one), but that was because there was a waitress who had chrissie-hynde-in-"brass in pocket"-video mascara. it did my stomach no favors.

I used to go to the Stud and play pool with a friend of mine (straight) who was on Marlena's (Gay/Drag bar on Hayes) pool team but it's been ages since I've been there. I'm sure it must have changed since the late 80's/early 90's.

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 19:33 (twenty years ago)

I play pool

I am terrible at pool. Does anybody know of a bar, besides Finnegan's Wake, that has a ping pong table?

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 19:36 (twenty years ago)

i've also lived in Upper PaHa (panhandle). grove and schrader. and the outer, outer sunset (4th & quintara).

i do not go to the STUD but i live accross the street from it. the dude who cuts my hair performs at Trannie Shack.

there are TONS of super markets down there. all within walking distance. Trader Joes (9th & bryant), Safeway (16th & Portrero), Harvest (8th & Howard), Whole Foods (4th & Harrison) and the new Safeway (3rd & Brannan)

I liked 'Out of Sight' well enough. 'Oceans Eleven' was lots of fun as those kind of movies go and I didn't hate 'Traffic'. 'Solaris' I will not see and I think that if not challeneged, SS tends toward boring and predictable.

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 14 March 2005 22:46 (twenty years ago)

Ocean's Eleven was quite entertaining and it was set in Vegas and it was mercifully short.

Elliott Gould had a masterful performance as a Jewish man.

oh, i know who they are, i don't know either of their last names, but i figured it out. you shoulda seen them, they were both completely embarrassing. j3nn had chocolate all over her face (there was a chocolate volcano with strawberries and rice krispy treats to dip) & j@rred had Margarita King salts all over his face. it was good to see them.

it's not gygax, it's some swanky Italian and his sex dwarf.

it's gygax alright. pimping the fashion industry like the broke-ass ho that it is.

Cliff House.

Go during the day. The restaurant is OK but pricey. The bistro/cafe thing is cool, though. If there's a red headed bartender, his name is Tim. Tell him I said hi. He won't have any idea what you're talking about.

It looks like a pretty solid lineup. They've got new stuff from Miike, Herzog and Solondz, so those films will probably deliver as expected but won't be too surprising.

― M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 1 April 2005 21:00 (twenty years ago)

Adam, you weird me out all the time, so it's all good.

I caught Ichi years ago at a midnight SFIFF screening where they gave us free Guinness (!!!) and it was great. I think it was the US premiere, but I might be wrong on that. I also saw the US premiere of Spirited Away at the Castro and John Lasseter (sp?) showed up with Miyazaki for a brief chat.

If any of the screenings, have extra activities attached to them, it'd probably be pretty worthwhile to attend. SFIFF seems like they're on top of delivering more of an experience beyond just seeing the films.

Yes.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 18:28 (twenty years ago)

I can't find out how on 511.org though, Dr. Morbius. You'll want to avoid those beaches on the weekend if it's nice enough to go to them - the traffic is calamitous. I don't know how well acquainted you are with the coast here in the summer but it's likely to be foggy a lot in June and the water is cold.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 18:44 (twenty years ago)

The thought in swimming off of Marin, or in fact anywhere North of San Luis Obispo, is terrifying!

Muir Beach is really purty tho (I was married at the overlook just above it). dunno about *swimming* in it, but I've seen people do it... sunbathing, yeah sure no problem if the weather is nice (which is not entirely likely). if the weather sucks you can walk up the road half a mile til you get to the Pelican Inn where you can get drunk and flounce about like an Englishman.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 12 April 2005 18:58 (twenty years ago)

what?

― ---- (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 19:00 (twenty years ago)

I can't even swim! Just going for the purtiness maybe, but I'm more likely to settle for Amoeba, the A's, SoMA drinking, Bottom of the Hill, MoMA and the Alcatraz tour.

Have they moved Laughing Sal and her friends back to the Cliff House?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

Not yet I don't think. I believe it is still out on one of the piers. Can anyone confirm?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 19:03 (twenty years ago)

Moma is great. The A's? Who is Laughing Sal?

Any opinions on how to split the time between beach/woods? (I do burn easily when naked.) or Sausalito?

'gax, you have 8 days to answer my email.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 6 June 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

Dr. M, this is going to depend heavily on whether the summer fog is in or not. On most days, even the nicest weather at Muir Beach is a bit Nor Cal brisk, but the nude part of the beach is relatively protected (and mostly straight). Muir Woods, sun or fog, is amazing and well worth a couple of hours of hiking but you'll run into a lot of tourists. Sausalito, (where I lived through High School) is very touristy downtown but might be worth a stop on your way back. It's also conveniently accessible by ferry if you feel like staying later or coming back another day. Either way, try to avoid going on a weekend if possible.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 6 June 2005 17:01 (twenty years ago)

I don't think it's on the official menu, but when I lived/worked in Sausalito, I would order their very inauthentic but huge and tasty burrito.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 21 June 2005 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

What is there to DO in Sausalito? When I last went there I saw some rats.

Dr. M, What did you get at Amoeba?

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 21 June 2005 20:58 (nineteen years ago)

For starters...

Louis Armstrong - Complete Hot Fives & Sevens 4xCD (Berkeley)
The Richard Pryor Show 3xDVD (Haight)

$26 each!

I do remember us discussing internal vaginal penetration shots a la La Blue Girl and Gygax! insisting that the Japanese aren't into that shit at ALL haha

I didn't say that at all! I mentioned that certain terms (and you know which ones)have different meanings here vs. there, particularly around the company you keep.

i didn't feel anything

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 16:22 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, neither did anyone in my office! I swear, it was like a little roll, like when you are on a train and inertia pushes you to one side.

This thread takes all day to load, wasn't there a follow up?

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 1 November 2005 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

There was some SF recommendations thread.

Is Day Of The Dead stuff in The Mission fun and/or worth going to? Or does everybody think it is lame?

Dio De Los Muertos is pretty cool. Altho last year it was sorta distracting and depressing since it coincided with election night...

i saw fake alex in sf at safeway again last night. tall, short blond hair, glasses, designer jeans, jean jacket, trainers. we argued about music for a second while waiting in line.

fake alex in sf? Does he have a doppelganger? Someone we could frame?

Alex wouldn't wear designer jeans!

I don't know him personally, but he sent out a company email promoting the group...

Don't be talking shit about the Giants on the SF thread, Dr. M.

C'mon kyle, no more than 90%! Rob Corddry!

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

Talking shit about the Giants is perfectly acceptable as far as I am concerned. Anyway the whole thread is about TALKING SMACK.

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:37 (nineteen years ago)

What I should have said was talk all the shitr you want about the Giants but not about their fans.

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:39 (nineteen years ago)

the only pro sports discussions I can tolerate all center around debating which one is the most overtly homoerotic.

Gimme the right drugs and I do. It's quite embarrassing, actually.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

You can dance to Sarah Silverman jokes, because some of them are songs.

Have you seen 'Jesus is Magic'? I keep meaning to but, well, you know how it goes.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:31 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I saw it. Really stoned, actually. It was half funny.

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:32 (nineteen years ago)

I figured it would be really funny in parts and not in others. That's my general take on her. She has a kind of devil-may-care, machine-gun approach to her jokes where some are funny, some are excruciating and some are meh.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:35 (nineteen years ago)

I'd never heard of her before I saw the movie!

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

I first saw her on Fox's 'Greg the Bunny' where she was funny enough but as a character, not as herself. Funny enough in 'The Aristocrats' to possibly get herself sued.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:45 (nineteen years ago)

I like the Aristocrats joke (minus the senseless references to Down's Syndrome--is it just me or are "retard" jokes really hot right now? So tiresome.) but I don't generally find her that funny.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

The discomfort level is great, though. "I was raped by a doctor as a little girl, ...which is bitersweet for a Jewish girl." Are rape jokes funny? Can a goy laugh at Jewish jokes? She's a little shit. She knows it, and she revels in it. I somehow find her provocations amusing.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

Can a goy laugh at Jewish jokes?

He can certainly try.


The funniest guy in The Aristocrats was the weird guy who said he was in Friends.

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:54 (nineteen years ago)

I don't remember him.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:55 (nineteen years ago)

Have I told you how, when I first met my gf's family, I volunteered my favorite Jewish joke to them? (Incidentally, a joke told to me by Roman Polanski.) They looked horrified until I told it, then bewildered.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

he was the best!

Have you heard about the six Jews who changed the world?

First there was Moses. He said everything comes from there. *points to heavens*

Then there was Solomon. He said everything comes from here. *points to head*

Then there was Jesus. He said everything comes from here. *points to heart*

Then there was Marx. H said everything comes from here.*points to stomach*

Then there was Freud. He said everything comes from here. *points to groin*

Then there was Einstein. He said, "Gentlemen. It's all relative."

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

They have, Dr. M. I've been to both the bistro and the fancy restaurant (whose name escapes me).

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

FAB (on both counts). and the Musee Mechanique is back?

This was the hardest I laughed in the whole movie! Do you think I'm strange too?

― adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 19 January 2006 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

He was funny but kinda scary in a 'Sorry, my lovely daughter, but no way in hell am I letting you go out with Mr. Negron.'
