District 8 Supervisor Race is Hotting Up – Scott Wiener Plays the Infusion Lounge Tonight

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

A quick glance at Linda Post’s SF FYI Net shows that supertall, supersmart* Scott Wiener (“Did you mean: scott weiner -no Google Search, I did not) is hosting a get-together tonight at the always-lively Infusion Lounge. The event is being co-hosted by BOMA, the BUILDING OWNERS AND MANAGERS ASSOCIATION OF SAN FRANCISCO – they’re blogging up a storm over there on a daily basis, don’t you know. 

Anyway:

BOMA – Scott Wiener
When: November 10, 2009 – Tuesday 6 to 8 p.m.
Where:Influsion Lounge, 124 Ellis Street, San Francisco
What: BOMA is co-hosting fundraiser reception for Scott Wiener, 2010 candidate for San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee and District 8 Supervisor.
 
The famous YouTube Manifesto:

But was ist das? It’s glossy magazine coverboy Rafael Mandelman with his own event later this week:

Team Mandelman Happy Hour

Where: the Mix, 4086 18th Street, San Francisco
What:Happy hour with Rafael Mandelman – candidate for Supervisor in District 8

So much for this week. Are the other candidates having some of their own partays soon? Maybe, but how would we know if they’re not listed on the indispensabile SF FYI Net? Mmmm…

*It’s remarkable how supersmart the major candidates in this race are. It’s unprecedented, actually. Each of them is smarter than you, anyway.

Scott Wiener Uses YouTube to Announce He’s Running for District 8 Supervisor

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Via SF FYI Net, we discover San Francisco Deputy City Attorney Scott Wiener (the preferred spelling of “weiner” is w-I-E-n-e-r, as in “Vienna“) just officially announced his candidacy today for District 8 Supervisor on the YouTube.

It looked a little like this, complete with elevator dings – listen for them:

Scott  joins Rafael Mandelman, Laura Spanjian and Rebecca Prozan as the putative frontrunners in the replace-Bevan Dufty-race, which is just a “short” 16 months away.

PRINCIPAL SKINNER: Whoever did this is in very deep trouble.

MARTIN: And a sloppy speller, too! The preferred spelling of “weiner” is w-I-E-n-e-r, though E-I is an acceptable ethnic variant.

PRINCIPAL SKINNER: Good point.
