Hey, SFMTA! Do you realize that you’re a national joke?
‘Cause, I don’t know, sometimes it seems you don’t realize you’re a national joke.
Just saying.
OK, work with me here, you’re beautiful, you’re gorgeous, you’re a San Francisco Giants* fan, right, and you don’t care what it costs to park near AT&T Park, oh no, what has you fazed is the cost of the four quid worth of petrol you had to expend to get to the game, so look astonished, go ahead, oh hey Margie, could you stencil the word “gasoline” onto our 1960′s-style gas pump, oh never mind, we’ll just add it in later in post, OK, babe, you’re giving me a 3 right now, let’s make it a 9, that’s it, look more astonished, more, that’s it, hold it, hold it. Click! That’s a rap people, I’ll see you at the after party:

How much did we pay for this ad, I wonder…
*Or something, I still haven’t figured out which baseball team the talent supports. Does the M stand for MUNI? Oh, what’s that? The SF Giants might not want to be associated with a hated, loser organization like MUNI? Maybe…

Inspired by many founding myths, TOTEM illustrates, through a visual and acrobatic language, the evolutionary progress of species. Somewhere between science and legend TOTEM explores the ties that bind Man to other species, his dreams and his infinite potential.

Here are all the deets since the UFL‘s California Redwoods started playing professional at AT&T Park in 2009.
Our “local” team has upped and moved to Sacramento – they’re called the Mountain Lions now. Oh well. At least the uniforms have a dignified, old-school look, so that should please area writer Joe Eskenazi.
You’d think the enormous squad of cheerleaders would be called the Kittens, or the Pumettes, or maybe even the Cougars, but no, they’re called the Lady Lions. See?
Click to expand
Anywho, elements of the UFL, as you might imagine, are having trouble paying the bills. Uh oh. (Hey you know what happens to a McDonalds what doesn’t pay its employees as agreed? Bad tings, that’s what happens. But if the UFL doesn’t doesn’t make sure that its employees get paid, well that’s A-OK, huh?)
But maybe the 2011 NFL lockout will result in an increase in talent tout de suite?
Stay tooned…
Sacramento, Sacramento, where you at, after the jump

I don’t know, I think they could have figured out a way to have Pride Weekend and the World Cup at the same place at the same time this A.M.
Or, in other words:
“How the hell is there no large venue showing this match?”
They were still setting up this stage when the action started in South Africa:

Fans forced indoors tried to make the best of it, craning their necks as if they were in the front row of a Metreon movie theatre:
(Of course, batting practice precluded AT&T Park’s JumboTron from showing the contest.)
Fans arriving at Civic Center this morning were told to go to “some bar” to catch the match. One fan announced that he was “mega-bummed.”
Oh well…

Up and Coming Paul McCartney just can’t stay away from our sports stadia,
right? A
mere 15,971 days after playing the ‘Stick, he’s back to play the ‘Booth.
“Paul McCartney has announced two new performance dates, the first at San Francisco’s very own AT&T Park on Saturday July 10th, and then at the Rio Tinto stadium in Salt Lake City on Tuesday July 13th, as part of his ‘Up and Coming’ 2010 tour. Keeping with his headline-making special concerts over the last few years, the tour will see the iconic star and his band play unique venues, places and locations; new cities he’s never played and familiar markets he’s not visited for a while.”
Get that? He’s not visited “for a while.” I”ll check you on that, good buddy.
(Did you know he was also in a band _before_ Wings?)
See you there!
“The July 10th concert date at AT&T Park will be Paul’s first performance within the City of San Francisco since The Beatles’ last concert tour appearance – at Candlestick Park on August 29, 1966.
San Francisco Tickets
Tickets go on-sale Monday, May 24th at 10am (local time) through all Ticketmaster locations or online at www.Ticketmaster.com and www.APEConcerts.com

Get the story on the UFL’s California Redwoods over at SFWeekly with Joe Eskenazi’s lengthy report and see some more photos here at the Examiner.
Did the San Francisco team really fly in from Arizona just before the game on Saturday and then leave just after?
Are you cheering yet? All right, Let’s Go Redwoods:

A fiery entrance:
Football at AT&T Park – never seen that before:
The mise-en-scene:
Seemed like real football to me:
Of course, there were a few tree huggers in the crowd:
Are these EMTs actually Trauma actors preparing for next season?
Whoops, missed the big bounce, bounce, bounce interception - here it is up on the big screen:
Speaking of which, lots of fans ended up there as well.
Ezekiel in the House:
Hey, who’s that guy in the Giants gear?
And that the UFL’s debut in San Francisco.
