Here are two ads for Equinox Fitness on Pine Street what are about three yards high:

I think things were a lot more wholesome at the Pacific Stock Exchange Building when it was the Pacific Stock Exchange. You know, back when Kevin Bacon filmed that Quicksilver bike messenger movie in 1986 before you were born. It went a little like this, with KB acting as a besuited yuppie stock broker at the PSE at Pine and Sansome.
You see, back then, everybody wore clothes and open outcry was the order of the day.
See?
Good times.
Suntory times

Have you heard the Word on the Street? It’s that Halloween in the Castro is making a comeback in 2011. So get dressed up and go, if you want.
Now, they won’t shut down the streets and put up fences and charge admission the way they did just a few years back. Oh no. Castro in the Halloween is returning but as a smaller event. You know, the way it was before all the “bros and hos” from Santa Clara County started showing up.
I haven’t heard word one about Halloween being cancelled this year – perhaps a new Mayor has new priorities?
And do you think the cops might be busy raiding (or “training” for raiding) Occupy SF down in the Embarcadero?
Mmmmm…
Anyway, Halloween in the Castro 2011 will be a sedate affair, with delightfully-costumed people milling about.
Thusly.
It will be old-school, with plenty of elbow room, the way it was before the era when cops would shut down streets. Like these scenes from the smallish Halloween in the Castro 2010.
See you there!
Will the Queen of Hearts and the Queen of Diamonds return to the Castro this year?
The stage at 16th, Market, and Noe. A kid from one of San Francisco’s housing projects got mad and shot nine people a little later on this particular evening. Nobody died though:
The Raiders and Niners fan what show up are generally better behaved than the actual fans at the stadiums:
An ocean of people at 17th, Market and Castro, a few years back:
I don’t know if Halloween in the Castro will ever get this big again, but who knows…

Andrew Dudley of the Haighteration blog has a heck of a gallery of the infamous American Appareal MUNI bus shelter ad what’s on the corner of Haight and Pierce.
Check it:
The eternal sunshine of the spotless American Apparel ad.
Wow. Talk about fast fashion - this thing changes every day.
Now here’s the cleanest copy I have, sent in by a Gentle Reader:
Credit Anonymous (or just tell me how to credit this if you want me to change it – muchas!). Click to expand.
Personally, I think this whole charade is welcomed by the American Apparel.
Personally.
(To wit, a bunch of American Apparellers are, once again, following this morning’s 415 drama from down in Los Angeles. It looks like this:
AA just loooooooves this kind of stuff, IMO.)
Anyway, here’s my contribution, from a little while back:
I don’t have a clean image of this erbiquitous American Apparel bus stop ad campaign that’s all over the SFMTA’s MUNI property these days, but you probably already know what it looks like.
Anyway, this particular advertisement on the south side of Haight, around Steiner IIRC, was turning heads over the weekend.
See? It’s the most arresting ad in the world!

I can explicate with a close-up shot, but only after the jump, as this is a family blog (more or less).
(more…)

[And best of all, the new 31-ounce Trenta (no joke - it's the next logical step after the Venti) is here!]
Remember back in ought eight when Starbucks went retro? That was the same year, according to SFist.com, Starbucks reprogrammed all their barristi all over the world on the same day.
Anyway, check out the temporary corporate logo for Starbucks Coffee from a few years back - the familiar green gave way to the retro version on the right:
ATIS947 vis flickr
But you know who couldn’t handle that? The Resistance of San Diego. They didn’t like that one bit – too racy.
But they should approve of the new, “simpler” logo we’re getting here in 2011:
Or at least that’s the official version of the logo evolution.
This here graphic shows the entire journey, including the Il Giornale merger, up to 2010:
Of course,the new logo is so great it will last forever.
Hurray!

The “erotic” section of Craigslist’s “services” category is no more, as of Friday, September 3rd, 2010.
ActionNewsSF has the deets.
See? Craigslist Bay Area is now “censored”…
…but merry olde London soldiers on, business as usual:
Stay tuned…

What makes San Francisco’s monthly Critical Mass an illegal bicycle parade is the fact that nobody gets permits. ‘Cause getting a permit is hard - it would entail doing stuff that costs a lot of money and it would make you a magnet for lawsuits, so who needs that, right?
The thing is that corking intersections and running red lights as a group (hallmarks of Critical Mass going back to the mid-1990′s), those things are obviously illegal, so the SFPD could start issuing citations whenever it wants, of course. And that’s true no matter how they roll in the Empire State. (Actually, I question how the New York decision affects us here in San Francisco at all, but oh well.)
I’ll tell you, the biggest shock that drivers have when they get stuck at an intersection is that they get no sympathy from the cops. Drivers without criminal records tend to stay by their cars and watch the parade of bikes.
OTOH, drivers with criminal records, well, Critical Mass is a test of their ability to maintain. Some fail.
Do I think San Francisco has the will to kill Critical Mass? No. But do I think Police Chief George Gascon is planning on shaking things up, in the coming months, you know, when rain no longer threatens* and the number of cyclists is bigger? Yes.
“Hey, man, we don’t have any “leaders,” man. The City can’t do nothing to us, nobody’s in charge of CM, man.” Yes, roger that. I don’t think anybody’s going to stick you with a bill for $35,000 or anything, but changes are a coming…
Collateral damage from Critical Mass - MUNI vehicles stretching to the horizon in both directions. (Is that on the DO list or the DON’T list?) This kind of thing is one of the reasons you don’t see CM listed at the SFBC website calendar anymore.
Where’s Waldo, Cagney and Lacey on a recent Critical Mass ride:
The wonder of encountering an unexpected Critical Mass for the first time. Out-of-towners Rachel and Monica were delighted:
To Be Continued…
*Actually, tonight looks to be clear as a bell, Mel. But the forecast was for rain so tonight’s should be a smaller ride.

San Francisco’s Legion of Honor Museum was packed last night, owing to the Ghoulish Gala.
Let’s take a look.
The Diane and Alfred Wilsey Court, bathed in purple and blue. Click to expand:
And here’s the band in the cafe, doing a decent Duran Duran cover:
Dancing Gogo Mummies uncaged - stage left…
…and right, avec Red State Trucker:
Of course, Fake Michael Schumacher was there:
All the food you could eat and booze you could drink. Plus, free palm readings. Bonus!
Let’s follow the Joker, Fletch and Sexy Nurse over to…
…Very Postmortem: Mummies and Medicine, opening today:
Now, let’s creep past The Brain That Wouldn’t Die…
…and out the front, where Balloon Mom Mayumi, avec UFO balloon, was seen looking for her son, Balloon Boy Falcon:
All in all, a great event.
See you next year?

San Francisco’s monthly semi-unauthorized bicycle parade was well-attended and exceptionally ugly last night. Did your bike suffer any property damage (“let’s fucking beat up his car!”)? For whatever reason, Halloween Critical Mass 2009 had lots of gaps so that led to confrontations at every intersection – confused car drivers were tempted to just push through to end their lengthy waits. And the SFPD seemed less pro-bike than I’m used to seeing. Oh well.
Now, grab your parasol, pack your marshmallows, count the choppers, put on your PJs, and raise your fixie. Let’s take a gander.
Just look at the stalled MUNI buses and trolleys (trollies?) stretching from Mid-Market all the way back to the Ferry Building last night:

The riders could only just sit and stare:
Stare at this, a car-free Market Street:
via geekstinkbreath
Now let’s take it to the streets. Ichiro was there. He started going on about how there’s “sexiness in the infield.” OK fine:
About an hour or so after the six-ish P.M. starting time, the stalled buses started to pile up:
A happy corker vs. an unhappy corkee at the intersection of 8th and Market Streets.
After a while, car drivers start getting into this rolling Rorschach test. Some sit on their cars…
…while others, like this SUV driver, get out to fruitlessly confront the madding crowd:
IMO, parolees display the least tolerance for CM. Oh well. They just can’t handle it.
A stalled driver gets freaked out by Pumpkinhead:
Thank Gaia the cops were there:
Oops, here there are, pushing along the stragglers on Market:
And then an error – the main body of riders hung a right and headed up Van Ness. That’s not the way to cork MUNI, which got back to normal on Market Street round about 7:30 PM. Oh well. Van Ness from Hayes looking north up to California – the whole thing was entirely filled with bikes:
So there’s your Halloween Critical Mass 2009. See you next year.
