Ongoing Thread for Bay Area Boarders

[wintergreen]

i think we need a catch-all thread. a lot of good stuff sinks because it's too specific.

did you guys hear about all the banksy pieces going up in the city?

9th and howard:



somewhere near dolores park:



somewhere in chinatown:



valencia in the mission, 19th-ish, or wherever little otsu is:



kinda neat. i like banksy. supposedly exit through the gift shop is good.

[geologist]

not a bay area border but im probably gonna be there this weekend

anything cool going on?

[wintergreen]

the antlers at the independent on saturday, if you're into them.

the san francisco international film festival is ongoing. i caught a film called littlerock sort of serendipitously on saturday and got to talk to the lead actress and director afterward. probably seeing everyone else on thursday.

giants play the rockies friday night.

someone else will show up with better suggestions. what days will you be here? where in the bay area?

[wintergreen]

www.theiroldershitwasbetter.com

i'm leaving town tomorrow so i can keep up my 3 year streak of missing every single japanther show that happens

[Catullus]

oh man, I'm totes seeing mike park at nickle city. I feel some awesome pictures coming on

[geologist]

how did the list i looked at not have at least yo la tengo and broken social scene?

isnt the henry miller library like 2 hours south of san francisco? i thought i remembered it being south of monterrey

if so that could be why

[Catullus]

Yeah Big Sur is a bit of a trip from SF.

[seriesfinale]

Yeah, Yo La Tengo just played three nights at the Fillmore here in town

[wintergreen]

oh, duh. still, broken social scene should have come up. i wonder how much stuff i've been missing.

[permanently disheveled]

ahh, thanks for the heads up on the international film festival. i love going to that.

[Marigold]

Anyone going to the Kubrick double-features at the Castro? Tuesday it's Strangelove/The Killing, Wednesday it's Lolita/Eyes Wide Shut, and Thursday is 2001: A Space Odyssey/A.I. (lol).

[Catullus]

s 2001: A Space Odyssey/A.I. (lol).

Sounds like fun, I mean those are good movies I don't see what's so fun

[Marigold]

The (lol) was for A.I.

[Catullus]

I was just making a joke about the length of those two films together but sometimes it's a swing and a miss

those are pretty sweet shows for big sur. small place.

[christian]

radtothemaxx, what are yr thoughts on The Baths

[christian]

also, the Banksy treasure hunt was a great way to spend the past weekend

[swamp thing]

i only saw them once, and i was pretty drunk

i remember really liking it but i cant remember how it sounds, the main thing that left an impression was how hot the 2 girls were


also, i'm posting this here so i dont forget about it, white fence is playing li po on the 20th with brilliant colors and grass widow, which is going to be completely fucking awesome

[shantih]

saw blank dogs at the eagle tavern last thursday. a kick ass show.

[Legion]

Man, I seem to miss Dominique Leone every time he plays. I don't have solid Saturday plans ...might have to try to make that show.

He was a boarder here for ya'll who haven't been around long enough to remember him.

[seriesfinale]

Dleone's gonna be back and playing the Hemlock a few weeks after that, I beleive, if you miss this weekend's show

[pulled pork]

Can anyone recommend a decent Barber in SF where i can get a decent haircut for not too much money?

[seriesfinale]

What is "not too much money"

I haven't paid more than $12 for a haircut in a few years

[pulled pork]

I don't want to spend more than $25.

[seriesfinale]

Anyone got plans for Bay to Breakers next Sunday?

I'm running it but afterwards heading to my local (Durty Nelly's) to undo the good work with beers and breakfast and then maybe head over to the panhandle with some cask wine to see if I can't see some tits and ass. A noble Sabbath.

[michael]

i went to bay to breakers last year

woke up @ noon, got baked, went outside, looked @ the procession of people wandering around & decided i wasnt drunk enough to partake in the festivities, so i went back in & got stoned again

[seriesfinale]

Yeah, the race itself starts at 8 and most people are at least somewhat in the tank by 10 AM
