‘Cause by the time you hear about this opportunity from the MSM or a blog, it’ll be too late.
Now some people wanted to charge you for the chance to walk the bridge, but they ended up deciding to just require registration with no payment required.
C’mon, this thing is only two decades-plus late.
All the deets:
“We are excited to announce that registration for the Bay Bridge Walk will be FREE! Our next email will include more details on each event and registration dates.
Registration is required for all on-bridge activities and there will be limited capacity so sign up early!
Please tell your friends and family who wish to participate to visit baybridgecelebration.com and sign up for e-mail updates. You will be the first to hear when registration is open.
More details on the Bay Bridge Bike, Run & Walk coming soon!
-The Bay Bridge Celebration Team”
There’ll be plenty of space to roam:
See you there!

Hurry on down to Union Square before the holiday ice skating rink leaves us on January 21, 2013.
This was the scene on December 6th: Drag Queens On Ice 2012: Bigger, Better and Bawdier!
Simply everybody was there to cheer on the queens, including members of the San Francisco Bulls hockey team and the concomitant Cow Belles:

Today’s ‘Xam has an ad for a singles night - maybe they’ll have another one of those soon.
All right, see you there, in the square!

Christmas with Walt Disney Screens in December
This holiday season the Walt Disney Family Museum at the Presidio is featuring the film Christmas with Walt Disney. Look back at the ways Walt celebrated the holidays — at home, at work, at play, on TV and at the Studios. From animated cartoons to rare home movies, this holiday movie was produced by Don Hahn—Academy Award®-nominated producer of Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King, and is narrated by Walt’s daughter Diane. The film screens daily at 1 and 4 pm (except Tuesdays and on December 10). Tickets are available online. For details, visit www.waltdisney.org. The museum is located at 104 Montgomery Street, on the Main Post, in the Presidio.

On duty in the corrupt Twitterloin,* a 1980′s-era** Ford LTD Crown Victoria, still operational, idling, with a driver just waiting for something to go down.
As seen at Sixth and Market, June 2011, close to the location of the recent Pride Weekend Shooting what sent a handful of peeps to SF General:

And believe or not, this brick was the updated LTD Crown Vic, with “improved aerodynamics.”
Keep on trucking, policeman.
*Hey, do you know who signed the horrible, terrible, horrible, so-called San Francisco Twitter Tax into law back in 2004? I’ll give you just one guess, muchacha. It was the same dude what spent the better part of 2010 railing against the so-called San Francisco Twitter Tax. Isn’t it ironic, dontcha think?
**Truth be told, this rig could have been made as recently as 1991, and actually, it looks to be in great shape. Still, it’s a least two decades old…
