Monday, August 8th, 20112011 San Francisco Chinese New Year’s Parade a Huge Success, Despite the Rain – Photos From David Yu
Monday, February 21st, 2011(My Canon 1D Mark Whatever SLR died an early death at 140,000 clicks* possibly due to the fact that I wasn’t ascared of a little (or a lot) of rain. Nowadays I’m def. skittish, but no matter,) you can always count on famous photographer David Yu to be on the scene rain or dry.
As he was last Saturday night in Chinatown and North Beach and SoMA and the Financh and all over.
Check out his gallery of Year of the Rabbit festivities, why not?
Bunnies!
Whoahhh Bundy!
SuperLotto? No thanks! But SuperLotto PLUS? Sounds intriguing…
And look who else was there – it’s your newly-minted Supervisor Malia Cohen:
(Yowser)
And your just-as-newly-minted Mayor Edwin Lee in the official San Francisco staff car, formerly used by General Burkhalter:
See you next year! (In scary, scary 2012, the year of the Dragon.)
*200,000 was the expected number of clicks I believe I was owed. ($300 minimum for a new shutter.) OTOH, my 5D Mark I has probably already exceeded its expected shutter life so I s’pose I shouldn’t complain too much. Living on borrowed time tho.
June Quan Crowned Miss Chinatown USA 2011 – Big Chinese New Year’s Parade Saturday Night
Friday, February 18th, 2011Of course famous photographer David Yu was on the scene when June Quan was crowned Miss Chinatown USA for 2011.
The Coronation Ball is tonight, see below, and, of course, the big parade is tomorrow night.
(Don’t even take along a brolly to the parade – you’ll stay dry this year, most likely, Gaia willing…) [UPDATE: The Internet MIC just came by my house and tore up my prognosticator license. From now on, I'll leave this kind of stuff to the experts.]
Bon Courage to June Quan and all the participants.

Friday, December 24th, 2010This is what you can see these days in Japantown, which is all decked out for Christmas 2010.
Buchanan Street, or what’s left of it after San Francisco’s horrible redevelopment experiment. Oh well.
Anyway, Merry Christmas!
The Giant Topiary Bunny of the Golden Gate Park Panhandle Might Not Be a Bunny After All – The Reverse Angle from Fell
Tuesday, November 16th, 2010What I thought was a giant topiary bunny in the Panhandle of Golden Gate Park might not be a bunny at all.
The reverse angle view is inconclusive – I can make out the bunny ears and cotton tail but I can’t explain the camel hump.

The Giant Topiary Bunnies of the Golden Gate Park Panhandle
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010This is the best angle to see the Big Bunny of Oak Street in the Upper Haight area – can you see the two ears sticking up?
Anyway, that’s my guess as to what RPD employees had in mind.

Actual Trauma on the Set of NBC’s Trauma – Star Aimee Garcia Busts Her Finger
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010Lovely “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.
NBC’s Trauma is Back on TV But With the Worst Ratings Ever
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010Take a look for yourself to see dude just drive off the Bay Bridge due to a moment’s inattention in last night’s episode of NBC’s Trauma serial. (Do you think you’d survive after falling so far inside a Jeep Cherokee Classic? I don’t think it’d be possible, but maybe the breast implants inside the car softened the jolt or something.)
Yesterday’s relaunch, debuting the first new ep since November 2009, earned ratings of 1.4/3, which are 22% lower than last year’s average for the show.
Shooting in North Beach as it looked last year near the top of Kearny Street, the most-filmed block on any street in Northern California:
Anyway the bad ratings add up to trouble, according to The Wrap:
“The problem started at 9 p.m., with the previously sorta-canceled “Trauma” (1.4/3) returning from the grave as a Nielsen zombie. It hit its lowest rating yet, falling 22 percent from its fall average and 13 percent from its last original. It wouldn’t be shocking if NBC decided to quickly replace “Trauma” in the timeslot. That’s because “Trauma” tainted “L&O,” which managed a third-place 1.5/4 at 10 p.m. — down 25 percent from last week, when NBC aired a double dose of the drama from 9-11 p.m. Worse, “L&O” was actually off 6 percent from what “The Jay Leno Show” had been averaging at 10 p.m. Mondays.
“NBC — which actually did quite well last week, given the fact that it had to fill 5 hours of primetime post-Jay– does not want to see any negative Leno-to-scripted comparisons at 10 p.m. Period.”
Not saying I would or could do a better job, but maybe the whole concept of shooting this kind of old-school TV show on location on the Streets of San Francisco was a bad idea? Is that possible?
On It Goes. How much longer will this Great San Francisco Nielsen Zombie last?
An Apology From the Star of NBC’s Trauma, Plus New Filming at Oakland Islamic Center
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010Why, it’s almost as if the people behind NBC’s Trauma serial have figured out a thing or two. Comes now Cliff Curtis, the New Zealand star who plays “cocky” helicopter pilot Rabbit, to say:
“The characters weren’t developed properly at first.
We took a lot of creative license, but learned from it.
We listened to the audience and to critics, and were able to satisfy a lot of complaints about the characters.
We improved the humor and the action on the front line.”
It’s almost like they’re shooting a whole new show! Good on you, Rabbit. Remember how excited people were when gorgeous Jennifer Siebel Newsom was in the pilot episode? Maybe we can get some of that back.
NBC/Universal
Now, while we’re remembering last autumn, wasn’t that the time when co-star Aimee Garcia was spinning this tale?
“The actors, who have all moved to rented apartments to be closer to work, are now talking about buying homes, Garcia said.”
O.K., hold on to that one. Now, try this on for size, per a recent interview with Cliff Curtis:
“NBC’s freshman “Trauma” series was considered such a sure-shot for early extinction that members of the crew gave up their apartments on San Francisco location.”
At The Length Truth Will Out. Moving on…
Shooting for, what shall we call it, Trauma II: This Time We Mean It moves to the East Bay tomorrow. Actually, they were looking for extras with Pakistani heritage just the other day. But keep in mind that when you’re an extra working on Treasure Island you get paid $1.79 more per hour than when you’re an extra working in Oakland. Why? It all has to do with the minimum wage. Anyway, you might be too late for this, but there could be other gigs coming up:
“Mosque scenes will be filmed Wed. 2/17 at a temple in Oakland. Extras will appear to be praying when an older Pakistani woman has a seizure causing the cast member medics to respond.”
Take heart, extras - I can recall a time when the minimum wage was a lot less than $64/8-hour day. Oh well.
And of course the TV addicts are, once again, talking about how, once again, Trauma is a “goner”.
No matter, re-re-newed filming should continue ’til March or April, and then we’ll just have to wait and see, huh?
25 Percent More Trauma for San Francisco – NBC Approves Another Four Eps of Horrible TV Show
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010Conan O’Brien’s trauma, that whole deal where he’s losing his Tonight Show gig, is helping to keep NBC’s horrible Trauma serial a few paces ahead of the grim reaper. News just came out about how NBC is ordering four more shows to help fill the prime-time hole left by Jay Leno moving from 10:00 PM back to 11:35 PM.
That means that Season One will end up with 20 episodes at the very least.
Will there be a Season Two for Trauma? Only Time Will Tell.
Rest assured, twirlypopper pilot / couch potato Aimee Garcia will still maintain her official website regardless of when Trauma gets cancelled.

Look for more filming around town soon. You’ll have ten fresh episodes available on your idiot panel after the 2010 Olympics end.
