Voluminous.
And see what Vernon Davis thinks about the upcoming game with the Detroit Lions Sunday night at the ‘Stick right here at TV 49.
Speaking of which, check out the New Santa Clara Stadium, which is probably going to be about 20 times better than Candlestick Park.
All right, tink happy toughts until 5:20 PM Sunday…
Bring It On opened last night at SHN’s Orpheum Theatre.
You’ll have to see this crew flying high by January 7th, 2012.

Oh, and look who was there, it’s the Oakland Raiderettes:
…and the 49er’s Gold Rush:
Everybody had a great time.
See you there!
All the deets:
“BRING IT ON: THE MUSICAL is the explosive new musical comedy that raises the stakes on over-the-top high school rivalries. Set against the world of competitive cheerleading, this powerhouse new show hilariously proves that winning isn’t everything when it means losing something – or someone – you really care about.
BRING IT ON: THE MUSICAL unites some of the freshest and funniest creative minds on Broadway, including Tony Award-winning writer Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q); Tony Award-winning composer Lin-Manuel Miranda (In The Heights); Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning composer Tom Kitt (Next to Normal) and lyricist Amanda Green (High Fidelity); Tony Award-winning orchestrator Alex Lacamoire (Wicked); and Tony Award-winning director/choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler (In The Heights).
This new musical comedy combines an exciting fresh sound, gravity-defying choreography, and a thrilling story to create a show worth cheering for.
It’s “guaranteed to be everything you wished for, nothing like you expected, but exactly what you will love.” -AOL.com
Game On!

Don’t forget your official calendars and Sharpies:
Rooz Cafe owner Steve Ranjbin used to speak up about his No Yelpers stance, you know, a few years back, but now he’s afraid, horribly afraid, of speaking up about the Yelp.
To speak is a sin, baby. See?
“When I contacted one restaurant owner about his stance against the site — a Bay Area cafe that posted a “No Yelpers” sticker — he said: “I’ve learned not to talk. When I do, I get horrible reviews.” (He asked that I not mention his restaurant by name.)”
That’s the power of Yelp.
Now, meet typical Yelp Elite Squad members Tricia and Johanna. Ouch:
But Power Yelper Michael Gebert rises to the defense in this official Yelp retort.
On It Goes…
Joshua Clements is all over this sitch down in Union Square:
“Homeland Security, A-Team van, SWAT team, mobile command post, Army Hummer, SFPD Bomb Squad, all in front of the Hilton.”
This urban assault vehicle used to be a GMC, or a Chevy or a Ford or a Hummer a Jeep or maybe a Dodge – I’ve narrowed it down that far:
An excellent shot from The Tender, Your Daily Cut of the Loin
El Palo Alto, aka the Stanford Tree, is smack dab in the way of California’s High Speed Rail project, according to Doug Ray over at the Peninsula Press.
Appears as if the NIMBY’s of counties San Mateo and Santa Clara are gaining speed in the battle of HSR – how much will it take to buy them off?
El Palo Alto, back in the day. It’s still there, for now:

Will CA HSR run over Stanfoo’s famous, fun-loving mascot?
Only Time Will Tell
Here’s how it will be until the end of this week – you’ll be out and about on the Streets of San Francisco near Union Square, the Ferry Building or Fishermans Wharf and then you’ll encounter Gap‘s Cheer Squad and Drumline and/or their giant buffalo-plaid bus.
This peppy crew will be giving away stuff as they perform.
Thusly. This is a lot of air without a net, huh. As recently seen in NYC:

You can’t miss them – they just drove up from L.A. in this monster:
So, be on the look out. What more can we ask from our corporate overlords than free swag?
They’ll be hitting Santa Clara County today, San Francisco tomorrow, Marin County Saturday, and San Mateo County Sunday.

Tomorrow’s Big Game between the Stanfurd Cardinals (or Trees or whatevur) and the University of California Golden Bears might prove to be the best one yet, what with both sides being in the Top 25 for the first time ever. You ought to tune in and see if the coaches are all, “What’s your deal man? No, what’s your deal, man?”
Uh oh, which channel? Versus? (I don’t know, back in the days of analog TV everything was simple, remember?)
Now they can’t play at the Haight Street Grounds (good name for a coffee shop, non?) anymore cause The Man tore it down and put up houses, so Palo Alto’s Stanford Stadium will have to suffice. Log on or tune in at 4:30 PM, even if you don’t like college football.
Here’s the lineup. First Cal…
..and now here’s the Cardinal:

Hurray!
NB: Cal will lose.
This is the scene on Fremont Street as the San Francisco Bomb Squad is investigating a suspicious package near the TransBay Terminal.
Click to expand:
Last I saw, nearby office buildings were being evacuated by the SFPD.
Well there was a report of a Suspicious Package Outside Chinese Consulate at Geary and Laguna so the SFPD sent over some officers and the bomb squad.
The passersby in Japantown favored sending a bomb destroying robot, but this fellow from the bomb squad stepped up, donned a massive helmet, and sauntered on over to the item that tied up traffic all over.

Just another day for the SFPD…
