What You Shouldn’t Do When Visiting San Francisco

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

When you’re visiting San Francisco, you should always remember that you shouldn’t commit assault and/or battery on a woman in broad daylight near a busy intersection such as Van Ness and McAllister. Now, maybe you didn’t hit her but you touched her and chased her and she yelled out, so that’s going to start a chain of events that inevitably winds up with you being in the hands of the SFPD in about three minutes.

Passersby don’t really care if you have a domestic dispute, a business dispute, or any other kind of dispute with the woman wearing boots and a sundress. They’re all going to call 911 ASAP. What are you thinking, dude?    

The detention and makeshift interrogation begins. “Are you high?” Click to expand:

WHO: You, the dude in the suit.

WHAT: Attempting to detain somebody against her will on the sidewalk.  

WHY: Doesn’t matter.

WHERE: Across the street from San Francisco City Hall.

WHEN: The morning of a huge Anti-Prop 8 protest at City Hall.

That’s your lesson for the day.

Trying to Sell Used Ferraris for $100K over List Price

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

This red 2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1 has an asking price from British Motor Car Distributors (or Bentley of San Francisco?) of $395,000 - feel free to check it out the next time you’re on Van Ness near the remnants of Auto Row.

Can this be a money-making operation?

Oh, don’t look now, but the price of ZFFFC60AX70153544 might have dropped a bit, all the way down to $375k.

Act now.

Prediction: Women’s Sunglasses are Now as Big as They Will Ever Be

“Teen Rushmore 2008″, Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco

Look at Teddy Roosevelt’s shades in this photo of the original Mount Rushmore. Pretty small, huh? Compare that with what you see in the photo of these lovely teenagers from out of town who were waiting to see a KITS Live 105 show at the Regency Center.

So, this is it - mark your calendars. Spring 2008 will be the high water mark for enourmous sunglasses. They simply cannot get any larger. Therefore, the new trend will be smaller sunglasses.

The sooner the better.
