Friday, September 23rd, 2011Remember this, from earlier this month?
“From Todd Lappin Telstar Logistic:

See?

What’s going to happen to all these bikes?”
Here’s the answer:
“Most will go to the Reno Bike Collective and other bike organizations, some will be repainted and added to the BRC Yellow Bike program.”
Hurray!

Did Ford Motor Company Really Come to Justin Herman Plaza to Give Away a $15k Fiesta Yesterday? Yes. Limbo Limbo!
Friday, December 10th, 2010Living in San Francisco can have its challenges but one nice thing is that corporations (yeah, man, the corporations, man) come to town and start giving stuff away.
As it was yesterday in Justin Herman Plaza, where Ford gave away a car to the best limbo-er who showed up. (I would have told you about it but it was one of those Facebook deals, and it’s hard for me to get info off of the FB sometimes,* so I didn’t know about the deets even though I had a link, oh well.)
Anyway, see footage of the thrilling conclusion of the two finalists right here – it’s a punchy three minutes.

Congratulations, winner!

World Series Update: Watch Games Three and Four Outdoors with Gavin Newsom, But Leave Your Beer at Home
Wednesday, October 27th, 2010[UPDATE: Word on the street is that this isn't going to happen after all....]
Erin Sherbet has the deets on the coming Jumbotron-style showings of games 3 and 4 outside in the rain this weekend. But please remember:
“This is not a party zone,” said Newsom spokesman Tony Winnicker. “It’s a place for families and true baseball fans who want to cheer Giants on — there are lots of other places to party and buy pitchers of beer.”
Harsh. “True baseball fans” don’t drink beer, apparently.
Here’s true fan Homer Simpson enjoying a game without beer for the first time in his life. Now, are your shields up? Good, start at 17:30, Komrad
“I never realized how boring this game is”
Go Giants!
Outrageous: Cans of Beer Confiscated at Bay to Breakers – Hide Your PBR at Masonic!
Sunday, May 16th, 2010I never thought I’d live to see the day when cans of beer would be confiscated at the Bay to Breakers footrace. I mean, bottles and kegs, sure, but harmless aluminum cans?
Well, that’s what’s happening at the 99th Annual. A thin blue line of eight SFPD officers has been stretched across the eastern crosswalk of Fell and Masonic – they’re just taking the brew right out of your hands. Some escape this dragnet, but most do not.
Popo shut us down. Thusly:

Where are the earnest, green-hatted nerds of the National Lawyers Guild Legal Observer Corps when, finally, we need them?
I put down my Bud suitcase and raised my hands to the Heavens and yelled,” Gascon!“*
R.I.P. America: 1776-2010.
Courage.
*Or Singer. One of them. I’ll tell you, I don’t know if local Police Chief George Gascon and premier spinmeister Sam Singer are more intelligent than Fong and Fang (Heather and Angela, respectfully), but the new people in charge this year sure are smarter, it would seem. Defter, if that’s a word.
How Should You Curb Your Wheels in San Francisco? Just Use the Water Test
Thursday, December 17th, 2009When parking in San Francisco, you should always curb your wheels. If you can’t tell whether you’re pointing uphill or down, just pour out a little water from your bottle into the gutter.
The way the water goes tells you which way the hill goes. Or just look at what all the other drivers on the block did. Easy peasy, right?
The driver of this VW Cabrio made the wrong choice, so a ticket from SFMTA was the result. Parking Control Officers will spot this infraction from a block away and then make a special trip just for you.
Oh well.
Friendly PG&E Gives You a Ring Before Having Your Car Towed Away
Sunday, March 15th, 2009Lot’s of times we have signs on the streets of San Francisco warning of a construction zone - this is your notification of the days and times a parking space is unavailable. When a crew comes in the morning and see your car, they’ll have it towed away with extreme prejudice.
But look here at the policy of mega utility Pigs, Girafffes and Elephants: just leave your number and they’ll let you know when you need to move. Que bueno!

That’s a friendly policy from PG&E, non?
