Up first is the effort from official Mayor Ed Lee lickspittle CW Nevius:

Mmmm…
I’ll reserve comment else I’ll get Blocked from his Twitter feed (again. You know, for calling him an SFGov lickspittle last month, which he totally is.)
So that was the pro journalist.
Comes now, The Tens.
Same night, same show:
Oh that’s right, CW Nevius gets paid the same whether he does a half-assed job or not.
(And CW’s Conventional Wisdom writing is worse than his photography.)
Oh well.
(And switch cameras (or devices or whatever) and the The Tens would still take much better photos.)
A clear victor: The Tens.
Thx 4 playing…

How would you like to volunteer as a docent helping out with the new-school / old-school E-line on October 6-7, 2012?
First, some background about how busy the 415 will be this weekend:
“Looking at what’s scheduled for that weekend, there might not be room in the city for many more people, much less cars. First, there’s the free Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park, a three-day event that drew about 800,000 people last year. That Sunday afternoon, the 49ers play the Buffalo Bills at Candlestick Park, while the Giants are hoping for weekend playoff games at AT&T Park, all guaranteed sellouts. About 60,000 people typically attend the Castro Street Fair, scheduled for that Sunday, while thousands more will jam North Beach for the annual Italian Heritage Parade at 12:30 on the same day. A different crowd will probably be at the Burning Man Decompression street fair, also that Sunday afternoon. To add to the fun, two mega cruise ships are expected to dock at Pier 35 over the weekend, disgorging thousands more tourists. Then, of course, there’s Fleet Week, which brings thousands of sailors and as many as a million visitors to the waterfront for the weekend.”
So you’ll be needed to help out all the visitors moving around on the Twin Torpedos, streetcars 1006 and 1008:
“We need several more docents to work the stops along the E-line on October 6 and 7, helping riders find the right platform and providing information about the service. We have docent books prepared by Paul Lucas, so it’s easy to learn what to do. If you’re interested, send us an email and we’ll get back to you.”

It looks like this:
Click to expand
Quite a lot of stuff going on in that shot, huh?
I hadn’t seen the place since it opened up in March 2012.
This is what things look like back then:
The thing about Lucky Strike at 200 King near 4th Street is that’s it’s not like any bowling alley you’ve ever seen. Call it a “gastropub-ish funhouse” or an “upscale bowling lounge” instead.
Get the deets here and now let’s take a look.
Exterior at 200 King:
Click to expand
L.S. on the left, AT&T Park on the right, kitty-corner:
And the CalTrain station is to the right as you look outward:
Here’s the main bar and restaurant seating area. The idea of the communal tables on the left is to have them at Goldilocks height, not too low and not too high, to allow mixing and conversation betwixt those sitting and those standing.
OMG, this place is bigger than I thought it would be.
Moving on to the Einstein Room, with billiards and other diversions to entertain your brain:
But lets go further in, let’s go bowling:
Shoes shoes shoes!
On the way to the lanes:
I don’t know what this is:
Here we go, here are some of the lanes:
The main bowling area will have art all around, made by innumerable local artists. Here are some Obey Giants from Shepard Fairey, who used to be local.
Moving on past the Lebowski Wall(!) to…
…the Green Room, your own private party space with your own private lanes! OMG.
Can you imagine what kind of large, rich, youthful companies have already made reservations to rent out the Green Room and portions of the main bar area? Oh yes you can, give a guess and you’ll be correct. Anyway, here are the special Green Room lanes, one of which is named in honor of Brian Wilson, a part-owner.
In short, Lucky Strike is going to be awesome.
See you Friday!

Now see here, this is the way things used to be at Geary and Masonic, right near the deadly Masonic Trader Joe’s gro sto.
See? This ad from last year was horrible:
Click to expand
Then the local Audi people got rid of that billboard because the Giants were no longer champs.
But then, Matt Cain pitched his perfect game earlier this year, so up went a new ad:
It was much better, non?
But now we’re back to this:
Now, does Matt Cain really have friends at Audi San Francisco?
I don’t think so.
And, think about it, does anybody really need an Audi?
I don’t think so.
Oh well.
In closing, Cain!

Brian Wilson loves him some bowling, as this photo shows. Deets of the biggest thing to hit SoMA this decade below.

Here’s the news:
“Lucky Strike San Francisco Announces Brian Wilson as New Partner”
“SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 29, 2012 – Lucky Strike, the gastro pub-ish Fun House about to open on King Street across from AT&T Park is proud to announce that Brian Wilson, gifted closer for the Giants, has joined Lucky Strike San Francisco as a partner/owner. Steven Foster, founder and CEO couldn’t be more thrilled. “Of all the well known folks from the professional sports and entertainment world that have helped popularize Lucky Strike, there isn’t anyone that I would rather have as a partner than Brian. He is a singular force – a unique combination of excellence – as an athlete, as a person and as an appreciator and lover of life. As all his fans know he is fearless, in the moment, inventive and community oriented. It’s how Lucky Strike aspires to roll on every level. “
Reaching the closer at spring training as he readies for the season, Brian echoed these sentiments. “I am amped to be on board with Lucky Strike. The concept – from the ambiance to the food to the energy – is edgy, crafty and unique. I am pumped to be in the Lucky Strike mix and am honored that lane 12 will be renamed lane 38. I love that number, and I expect to roll many massive strikes on that lane. See you there. The Dude abides.”
“The Dude abides.” I don’t know about you but I take comfort in that. It’s good knowin’ he’s out there. The Dude. Takin’ ‘er easy for all us sinners.
Shoosh. I sure hope he makes the finals.
