You know who has a lot of shots of coyotes in Golden Gate Park? Nature photographer Dina Boyer does.

And check out the rest of her set as well – she has a lot of great shots in there.
I’ll tell you, since the return of coyotes in numbers in GGP, there have been numerous dog incidents but no coyote incidents.
Interesting, non?

I’ve never seen anything like that in a signature line.
In other news, Charlie lives – he just got a life sentence on a farm someplace after his mouthpiece struck a plea bargain with Dennis Herrera and the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office.
But, come to think of it, attorney John Mounier is actually “The Animal Attacker Protector,” IRL.
Oh well.
Just another manic-depressive Monday, on 7th street, just north of Market.
Look at me, look at my horse head:

The former Mayor’s solution to this problem was to hire a campaign worker to start a campaign about Something-Connect. Then the former Mayor had sex with the campaign worker’s wife. Things didn’t work out.
Anyway, this is what a cry for help looks like.
You know, I think a cowboy from 150 years ago would totally get this scene. You have a constable with a hat and a gun and a pair of boots, mounted on a horsey, looking for thieves on Market Street near a set or train tracks:

Isn’t it pretty?

I don’t know what you’re looking for in a play, but how’s this?
In addition, Adrian Kohler and Basil Jones of Handspring Puppet Company won the Special Tony Award for War Horse.
So yeah, War Horse at our SHN Curran Theatre is a puppet show based on a children’s book, but it looks amazing.
Speaking of which, here’s SFPD horse “Hammer” meeting SHN horse puppet “Joey” the other day in Golden Gate Park – check the video:

And, the reviews:
“Miracles abound in the electrifying “War Horse“ per Robert Hurwitt of the San Francisco Chronicle
A “theatrical coup” per long-time San Francisco critic Janos Gereben
It’s “spellbinding” per Karen D’Souza of the San Jose Mercury News
“War Horse earns its stripes” per Ken Marks of KQED
“War Horse is the one touring show that shouldn’t be missed“ per Cy Ashley Webb of the Stark Insider
Four stars out of five per Albert Goodwyn, SF Performing Arts Examiner
It’s a great show. You (and your kin aged 12 and up) ought to go see it.
And oh, BTW, if you don’t already have tickets for The Book of Mormon, you know, the Best Musical of the Century (already!) per the New York Times, well, it’s time to start freaking out. You can’t buy tickets now because the only way to do that is to get a subscription for the 2012-2013 season (you know, Lion King, Wicked, etc.) but here’s the catch: SOLD OUT, baby! Already. So you’re going to need to move move move when individual tickets go on sale, whenever that will be. BoM, which is, fundamentally, a “love letter to religion written by an atheist,” however foul-mouthed it may be, will only be here for five short weeks. Every last show will sell out, just saying.
Back in the day, back in the aughts, all you had to deal with was one line of eight-foot cyclone fencing in order to get into Outside Lands.
You had to go under or over.
Here’s UNDER. See how that works? Easy peasy.
Click to expand – well there’s the problem: No bottom tension wire on the chain link fence + line posts too far apart = jailbreak.
And here’s OVER. This here is called the bum rush:
You could get away with this kind of thing a couple years ago.
But things have changed recently – you won’t be able find these weaknesses in 2012.
Oh, your friend Badger’s working on the inside this year and he’s going to let you and your buds in? Well, that might work.
But the days of a single chain link fence between you and your tunes are over.
Just saying.
If you want to ease into ballet, the way to do it is with your Three-Act Story Ballets, right? You get a beginning, a middle, and an end. What could be better than that.
As here, and now, with the last show of the 2012 season, Don Quixote with new scenery and new costumes.
Oh, and a new donkey too!

[UPDATE: All this makes writer Mickey Kaus wonder if #TheyHaveMooseInChina?]
Do you prefer the original?
Or the parody, as recently seen on Fulton Street?

Now that’s a moose and a Volvo pilot with attitude.
