Now I say famous because, apparently, I’m the last person in town to see this thing. (And actually, I thought it was a Barack Obama kite at first, so oh well.)
Irregardless, it was an arresting sight.

And here’s the pilot in front of City Hall, right where they filmed that Sean Penn movie:
Sail on Harvey, sail on…
These two icons of San Francisco’s Castro District can appear to be close together if you stand in the right place. The Castro Theatre is in great shape and the giant Gay Pride Flag at the corner of Market and Castro looks a lot spiffier these days compared to the past. Check out the history of all those colors here. An older version from the filming of the Sean Penn movie Milk…
| hot pink: sexuality |
| red: life |
| orange: healing |
| yellow: sunlight |
| green: nature |
| turquoise: magic/art |
| indigo: serenity/harmony |
| violet: spirit |

And here’s the theatre without the flag, as seen during the filming of Academy Award-winning Milk
Oh noes! The historic run of Milk at the Castro Theatre is about to end. You’ve got just one more week.
What’s nice about the Castro is that it doesn’t give you all those annoying ads, the way they do at the Metreon and such. Maybe that’s why the big screen at this neighborhood theater is the second busiest in the land (coming second only to the one showing Bolt at the El Capitan in L.A.)

See you there!
Carole Migden’s antiwar message is proving irksome to some in San Francisco these days. Can you imagine? Senator Migden, first runner-up in the Bay Area’s recent District 3 election (that means she came in second place, contrary to what you’ve been told, dear reader), still carries on with her antiwar message.
And now Street View shows it seems she has support of Google as well. Oh noes!
The people at MilkMarch.com issued the call and many responded. Were you gay for a day as they were at Dreamlogic.net?
Milk should be coming soon enough to a theatre near you.
