Miniskirted Accordion Player versus Patrons at San Francisco’s Ferry Building

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Would have to say the patrons won this one, as they outlasted this fetching accordion player, who performed for no one in particular while standing atop a soapbox on Herb Caen Way.

Update: Apparently, elements of the squeezebox community felt “dissed” by the prior line that existed in this space, despite the self-mockery contained in their very own self-chosen name. Fair enough, consider any disseses cheerfully withdrawn.

Update II: Whoops, that link went down the memory hole. Try this one instead. NB: This scene wouldn’t have seen the light of day but for the gratuitous aerophone amplifier in the lower left corner.

The Villages of San Francisco and Sausalito in California

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Some people think of Sausalito as a Portuguese fishing village and that’s kind of credible.

This atypical view of San Francisico with Sausalito in the background makes S.F. look a little like a village as well - evidence of Manhattanization is to the left, so all you see is basically the same as what you would have seen in the 1930’s.

Some people would like to construct tall buildings on the waterfront, but there’ll be a lot of fighting before that happens.
