Actual Trauma on the Set of NBC’s Trauma – Star Aimee Garcia Busts Her Finger

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Lovely “Helicopter Hero” Aimee Garcia had a mishap a few days back in San Francisco while filming a scene for new (and improved?) Trauma.

As she recently related to NBC’s Natalie Morales:

“I was doing a scene where my ex-military boyfriend gets in a fight, and it was scripted that I just stand there … I just got involved. I pulled one actor off of another and they loved it. They said, ‘Keep doing it.’ We did it 12 times and I didn’t realize on the first take I broke my finger.”

Here’s the video from the Today Show.

A finger mishap always makes for good TV of course, especially when you don’t lie about it.  

Let’s hope Aimee can get her left hand back on that giant twirlypopper’s collective control sooner rather than later.

Courage.

Santarchy! SFPD Forced to Bust Boozing Santas in Union Square – It’s SantaCon 2009

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Via Steve Rhodes comes a few images of Santarchy. Yes, San Francisco SantaCon 2009 managed to march through Union Square today.

SC09 is bigger and better than 2007 or 2008. Is the Red Tide coming your way?

The temporarily-widened sidewalks of Powell Street are no safe haven for boozing Saint Nicolaseses. Look out Santa, it’s the cops!

A detention and citation for this fellow:

Busting for drinking in public – a 12-ounce Tecate was the weapon:

It really is like a red tide – at 17th and Castro and Market in front of the Twin Peaks bar:

And the regulars at the Triple Crown had a surprise today:

How many more Santas will get cited?

When will it end?

Google Maps Car Records Federal Police Chasing and Busting… the Google Maps Car

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Remember this scene from last year, when the Google Maps car got pulled over in San Francisco’s Presidio?

Turns out that the Googler got ticketed, but not for a moving violation. Apparently, Google didn’t feel the need to secure a permit to photograph this National Park for commercial purposes, even after discussing the issue with the Presidio Trust. So, somebody called the federales and Google got an expensive citation.

Rich Google can afford to plant 800 pound “pins” all over town for the promotion of Google’s My Favorite Places, but it can’t see its way to clear to get a necessary permit to operate on federal land? Mmmm. 

Now, go here to see the hot pursuit by this United States Park Police Officer. Scroll around and keep clicking- you’ll see the whole chase all the way up Montgomery Street.

Pull over, Google! The feds want to chat:

aaaa copy

“I’m in Hot Pursuit! Choo choo!  Kik-kik-kyah, I love it! I love it!” Or kyew kyew, either way.

But if Google can afford $7000 Japanese toilets for all its bathroom stalls, then it can probably afford the occasional citation.

Keep up the good work, Googoo!
