Saturday, November 28th, 2009

The 52nd Annual San Francisco International Auto Show continues ’til Wednesday, December 2nd down at Moscone Center. It’s eight bucks, why not check it out?

The joint is sponsored by the San Francisco Chronicle - here are their photos from Wednesday night. And here’s an annotated gallery from Ryan W over at Yelp. And here are the babes.

Hands up – who here has a Lexus? The SEMA boys painted this IS350 using the flattest finish known to Man. That’s not primer, it’s paint:

I think the South Koreans are arriving a little late at the boaty chromed-up car party, but anyway, here’s your giant 2010 Hyundai Equus – ask about their bullet-proof model:

A woody Mini Clubman station wagon, of course:

Honda makes jets? Sort of, with a little help from GE. Buy your HondaJet HA420 starting in 2011:

And here’s your new Piaggio tricycle scooter – ask about their hybrid model:

Melissa Etheridge at National Biodiesel Conference in San Francisco, Feb. 1-4, 2009

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

Academy Award-winning and two-time Grammy Award-winning Melissa Lou Etheridge will, along with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, keynote the 2009 National Biodiesel Conference and Expo at Moscone Center West starting February 1st. (Or maybe Melissa will just have “special guest” status - the P.R. people are still sorting that one out.)

And this year, for the first time ever, you members of the public, you great unwashed masses, can pop over for a look on “Public Day,” February 4th.

Even MUNI is on board the biodiesel bus:

And why did the alternative fuelers pick little old San Francisco, of all places in the world? Because They Love Us:

San Francisco is an inspiration to our industry like none I’ve ever seen,” said Joe Jobe, CEO of the National Biodiesel Board.  “As we look to the future of energy in the United States and the role biodiesel will play in the nation’s energy plan, San Francisco provides a unique blueprint for other cities to follow.”

Awwww.

See you there!
