I think these boulders are telling us that The Solstice is coming soon, or something.
Or maybe the Panhandle Park Stewards have something to do with these new arrivals .
Foreground and background – are these rocks and others nearby going to stay here?

Oh, by the way, Stewards. People are still kind of pissed about how local real estate interests chased away the harmless Panhandle Bandshell a half-decade back. And, you know, Stewards, you all seem kind of cozy with area realtors (lower-case “r” as always) and homeowners associations. So what I’m saying is that most residents would prefer a muddier Panhandle with the Bandshell than a less muddy Panhandle with whatever it is that you’re spearheading.
Just saying, Bro-ham.

Oh, it’s on. It’s going to be Coco a Gogo half-assed “ 32-city “Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour 2010 comes to the Nob Hill Masonic Auditorium April 22 23 just like 2007 all over again.
“Full Price Tickets” from TicketMonster are going right now for $74, all up. And for just $695 you can get in on the Meet and Greet Package - wouldn’t you like a photo of you and Conan to put on the FaceBook for all your “friends” to see? Sure you would.

latest viral video recreating Indiana Jones’ famous Boulder Dash ? From the Gootube:
“We built a huge LEGO boulder and then made our friend dress up as Indy and run from it. Fun times!
(How respectful the Youtube poster was of our corporate overlords, taking care to CAPITALIZE corporate names.)
Anyway, it sure got plenty of Diggs .
However, some have alleged that the giant Lego ball was styrofoam and that the makers merely sought to promote a new game . (Who knows, you might like it .)
Irregardless, this has led to confusion on the Internets.
From Flickr via tillwe are these LEGO bricks or not? (Commenter Phill says nay. Commenter Martin says it’s Duplo.)
Some appear to have lost their faith in the Web:
Viral is so mid-2000s , now it’s just being exploited and we’re all gonna hate it.
And the famous Laughing Squid is now trying to give credit to the entire crew that pieced together all 5 million Legos , to no avail.
Was Teak Motion Visuals or Teak Films Production behind this corporate subterfuge ? Some think Sausalito’s Butler Shine and Stern (wouldn’t it be nice to be “hanging out on a fucking sailboat, while getting paid coupla hundred an hour “) may have had a hand in it.
Only Time Will Tell.
But in the meantime and while we’re on the topic, take a look at Teak Motion Visuals’ attempt at verisimilitude . How contrived does this scene appear on a scale from 1 to 10? Can’t you just see the guy with a baseball cap plotting out the most effective bouquet of garbage?
Are we really suppose to listen to this Amazing Group of Talented Creatives, and then ”Clean the Bay” and “Start With This Beach?” This particular beach at Crissy Field? Srsly? Until the sexy but trash- strewn drunkfest known as the Bay to Breakers Footrace gets rerouted , the Crissy Field Protection Area will never look like that. (If you want real, then check out San Francisco’s Warm Water Cove - it still looks like this .)
The makers of these contrived bits probably had a good time getting paid to do them, but when you start fibbing and shilling… Will this LEGO stunt end up on the list of Great Examples of Guerilla Marketing Gone Wrong ?
Fail
Epic Fail.
