The font you can see in the lower box looks like the groovy 1970′s to me, but I’m pretty sure it’s older than that.

I prefer the font on the upper box, for the record…

Brace Yourselves This Thursday: On 10-21, at 10:21 AM, Sirens Will Blare for the Great CA ShakeOut Earthquake Drill
Tuesday, October 19th, 2010You know what Mad Men’s Don Draper would say about this Thursday’s Great California ShakeOut Earthquake Drill? He’d say that if it was really all that great, then you wouldn’t need to have the word “great” in the name.
But no matter, all’s you have to do now is make a mental note and then when All Hell Breaks Loose on Thursday, 10-21, at 10:21* AM you can tell those around you to keep calm because it’s just a drill.
Or just plug your ears – that’s the other option:
And here’s a visual aid the boys in the Art Department just whipped up:
And here’s the FB and the Twitter.
And here’s a peek at part of the Facebook Wall:
“The Great California ShakeOut: Imagine a civic group is hosting a huge potluck. Volunteers issue invitations, set up tables & put out plates. What if 100 families are expected & come, but only 10 families bring a potluck dish & the other 90 don’t? Can you see how this type of scenario could impact the aftermath of the next quake? If your friends… are not registered for the ShakeOut, please invite them today! Be a friend. Help others prepare!”
And here’s the first reply:
“Tony Willis I know that i am going to eat and so are my dogs.”
O.K. then. That’s the spirit, Tony!
All right, see you Thursday. Shake Baby, Shake.
*This could be a reference to the October 21, 1868 Hayward Fault Earthquake but I don’t know.

San Francisco’s Unsinkable Tadich Grill – Set to Open for Lunch after Yesterday’s Fire
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009This was the scene in the Financial District yesterday as a woodburning stove at the historic Tadich Grill went all haywire and started a smoky fire at 11:00 AM. (Mas o menos, you know it was about a minute either way from 11:00 AM when people started calling 911, certainly not “11:21 AM,” but oh well.)
Check it at news outlet SFist. But, what’s this? The Tadich is re-opening today at 11:00 AM? Well toute le monde will probably show up for lunch based upon the free advertising the fire provided. (Just like at the R&G Lounge after St. Anthony Bourdain’s recent visit. It pays to get free advertising, non?)
It was hard to tell at first how big this fire would get:
Here’s a close-up through some tinted windows showing the flue fire looking more like a smokeless Olympic Flame:
And here the interior après le feu. Not bad, huh?
…the Tadich should be open for business again soon.
Good luck Tadich Grill!
