These things are huge.
First there was just one giant billboard extolling the virtues of Budweiser, and now there are two.
Well played, Budweiser.

…and down…
…and all around:
From Bluoz: Upper Haight is for Lovers:
Let your freak flag fly, baby. From the Eastern Stage:
And here’s one from Chris Witte:
There’s a feeling I get/
when I look to the West…
…and the East…
…on Haight Street on the Second Sunday in June.
At least the Yelpers like Frank:
This ganga guy in purple will sue you for $1000 if you take his photo, or something:
And Obama in a Giants cap, just the way they had it at the recent Union Street Festival:
You know who loves the Haight Street Fair? Parole agents
A mass of humanity:
Hookahs! Get your hookahs! It’s Hookahs.com
A dancing baby grooving on Haight Street:
Can you see the superfluity of nuns in white approaching the Fair? Also note the F430 Ferrari supercar (sans license plates), one of many exoticars that made the journey to the Upper Haight today. Also note the sign: “No Open Containers of Alcohol.” Too bad.
Of course, all you need to get around the alcohol ban is a gallon jug of overproofed white rum and a giveaway “water” bottle. As seen on Ashbury.
Former District Five Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi on the scene
Poorbot looking for handouts:
“SHOW US YOUR BOOBS… please.” “FABULOUS PRIZES.” “DON’T WORRY (WE’RE GAY)” These inebriates residing above the Ben & Jerry’s at the corner of Ashbury were true to their word, tossing down trinkets to all flashers male and female.
You kmow why this San Francisco Native baby is better than you? Cause he had the foresight to be born in San Francisco, that’s why. He won the lottery/ when he was born.
And There You Have It.

The Biggest Windmill I’ve Ever Seen – For the Giant Anheuser-Busch Beer Brewery in Fairfield, CA
Thursday, May 2nd, 2013Back in the day, we only had little wind turbines.
Click to expand
“Anheuser-Busch and Foundation Windpower assembled a white wind turbine with a tower some 320 feet tall at the Budweiser brewery along Interstate 80. Hundreds of such mammoth turbines are in place 10 miles to the east in rural Montezuma Hills pastureland, but this one is in Fairfield city limits. Brewing beer at Budweiser should soon be a breeze. Plant General Manager Kevin Finger estimated the turbine could provide 20 percent of the electricity for the brewery.”

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013Most of the time, when there’s a delivery truck double-parked on lower Sixth Street or on neighboring blocks of Market Street, it’s delivering alcohol.

San Francisco’s Official “420” Bus, as Seen in Haight Ashbury, of All Places – Plus, GO GIANTS!
Tuesday, May 29th, 2012Look closer, you’ll see it.
You think it’s just a coincidence that the old 420 rolls through the Upper Haight?
I don’t.*
We’re on our way to The Vapor Room!**

And hey, speaking of bud and Giants baseball, back in the 1990’s, people, just regular people, not just baseball players, would hang out in the crib of star pitcher William Joseph Van Landingham and smoke weed all day. So much so that other Giants called him Van Bongingham. I’m srsly.
All right, GO GIANTS!
*Check out what’s on the side of area fire trucks, for example.
**Indeed. 607A Haight is about ten blocks down the road, in the Lower Haight.
What’s This – You Can’t Take Photos of Hemp Expo Participants in Front of Oakland City Hall, Per the Mayor?
Tuesday, September 6th, 2011So Oakland officials didn’t want the MSM or anybody else taking photos of Hemp Expo participants toking up with Oakland City Hall in the background over this weekend’s Hemp Expo 2011?
KTVU-TV showed what appeared to be an Oakland official instructing the media not to take photos of people smoking in front of City Hall. The official was not identified, but Arturo Sanchez, an assistant to the city administrator told the station, “it’s not that we don’t want the picture, we try to keep this area of City Hall, (and) this public park free of smoke.”
“Do not take a photo of somebody directly in front of City Hall”
Well, some of these people here are lighting up – see?
Via Hempire – click to expand
I don’t know, maybe this edict worked, ’cause I haven’t seen any photos online of people smoking bud in front of City Hall.
Seems funny to have this kind of rule.
All right, Oakland, see you next year…
It’s Not Too Late to Catch Massive Attack Down at the Warfield Tonight, May 26, 2010
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010Tonight will be your last chance to see the Massive Attack down at the Warfield Theatre on Market Street. Are you giddy yet?
Last night’s effort was epic don’t you know. They tore down the house, but not so much so that they can’t do it again tonight.
Anyway, if you’re not doing anything else…
Local Goodby, Silverstein & Partners Wins Ad Agency of the Decade from AdWeek
Monday, December 14th, 2009Well, our famous local ad agency, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners at 720 California in the Nob Hill / Chinatown area, has just earned the title of Ad Agency of the Decade from AdWeekMedia‘s Best of the 2000s.
(IMO, they had this award in the bag solely due to the tail end of the Budweiser Frog, Lizard and Ferret TV campaign stretching into The Aughts. Ah, memories.)
Congratulations to the hundreds of people at Goodby Silverstein!
Deets after the jump.
Haight Ashbury Street Fair 2009 a Huge Success
Sunday, June 14th, 2009Not sure what the Yelpers have a problem with, but the Haight Ashbury Street Fair went off today without a hitch, just like last year.
Look at the swirling mass of humanity on just one block of Haight Street:
Can you see the superfluity of nuns in white approaching the Fair? Also note the F430 Ferrari supercar (sans license plates), one of many exoticars that made the journey to the Upper Haight today. Also note the sign: “No Open Containers of Alcohol.” Too bad.
Of course, all you need to get around the alcohol ban is a gallon jug of overproofed white rum and a giveaway “water” bottle. As seen on Ashbury.
District Five Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi was on the scene, gathering names for his newsletter distribution list.
Poorbot was looking for handouts:
“SHOW US YOUR BOOBS… please.” “FABULOUS PRIZES.” “DON’T WORRY (WE’RE GAY)” These inebriates residing above the Ben & Jerry’s at the corner of Ashbury were true to their word, tossing down trinkets to all flashers male and female.
You kmow why this San Francisco Native baby is better than you? Cause he had the foresight to be born in San Francisco, that’s why. He won the lottery/ when he was born.
And There You Have It.
