Back in the day, we only had little wind turbines.

“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.”

Most 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.

Look closer, you’ll see it.
You think it’s just a coincidence that the old 420 rolls through the Upper Haight?
I don’t.*

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.

So 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?
Seems that way:
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.”
Check it out here at 1:40:
“Do not take a photo of somebody directly in front of City Hall”
Well, some of these people here are lighting up – see?

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…

Tonight 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…

Well, 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.

Not 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.
Bong Hits 4 Jesus
And There Your Have It.

Yesterday’s Haight Ashbury Street Fair in San Francisco came with sunny skies and lots of attendees.
The alcohol ban of recent years has changed the character of this event somewhat. These days, the boozy Union Street Festival might have an edge in the number of inebriated. No matter, a good time was had by all in the Haight.
So, dig the colors of David Yu and look at a bunch of photos from SFWeekly.
A mass of humanity:
Could this man with marijuana garland be famous artist Harry Shearer trying out a new character?
Hookahs! Get your hookahs! Hookahs.com was in the house:
A dancing baby grooving on Haight Street:
Cindy Sheehan had more than a few acolytes gathering signatures for Cindy’s windmill-tilting House campaign against Nancy Pelosi:
See you next year!

The large crowd at O’Reilly’s on Green Street in San Francisco’s North Beach might not have realized it, but the Bud Man was hard at work last night.
One burly guy with a huge truck made 40 trips into the bar transporting 2 heavy kegs each time.
Dude, for all you do, this Bud’s for you.
