This Thursday, I will be arriving to hang out in your fair city for 5 days.
If you want to hang out with me, get my number from my member profile or kmail or IM me. I plan to stay with Loren and maybe Nelson, and get into some trouble and have some fun. I will be going to APE and Loren's crawfish boil, and Arnie is having some sort of "event" that he says is going to be awesome, also I would like to see Loren do his hang gliding and maybe go to the beach.
courtney [email] said at 3:01 PM 03-31-2006: Okay, fellow SFers, back me up here... I'd say Haight or Mission. Those are the two areas I hang out in, so that's what I know intimately. Well, besides the Richmond district, but that can be a bit far.
jake [email] said at 4:20 PM 03-31-2006: I'd say the best, most intense bar hopping would be the three or four Castro clubs. Lots of eye candy for the ladies and theoretically a minimum of sleazy hassle.
But if you don't want to hit the gay bars, then yeah, Mission/Guerrero. 12 Galaxies, Amnesia, Beauty Bar and Baobab are a pretty simple circuit.
courtney [email] said at 5:44 PM 03-31-2006: for good beer, tho, the Haight is where it's at... Toronado and Magnolia. Also, Cecil and I are partial to Club Deluxe, an off-the-radar jazz bar in the upper Haight.
josh [email] said at 3:59 PM 03-31-2006: Or maybe "Mr Corporate" has consistantly and always thought that poetry, poetry slams, poets, and related topics are REALLY ANNOYING... with my apologies to Mark Y.
The only thing so far that you have described is the people getting pelted with raw meat, and that wasn't mentioned til the last few responses.
josh [email] said at 4:27 PM 03-31-2006: What is intriguing about seeing the great grandson of L Ron Hubbard? If L zron Hubbard was there, now that would be intriguing.
jake [email] said at 8:43 PM 03-31-2006: You're just saying that 'cause he'd be an exploded-head-zombie.
Y'know, a simple "hey, not really my thing" would have sufficed, but then I guess we wouldn't be driving your response count up. I know how jealous you get.
josh [email] said at 2:31 PM 04-01-2006: uhhhhh in case you didn't notice, i started with "and surely you know me well enough to know i'm not going to a fucking poetry slam."
zack [email] said at 3:40 PM 04-01-2006: because then he could have never dragged this and every other conversation out into a pointless debate and then whined at you for being a big jerk when he lost said debate (because it was over a subjective matter of taste).
It's pretty hard to objectively argue taste, but jake will try. And then call you names.
josh [email] said at 2:34 PM 04-01-2006: i also said:
"i've seen def poetry jam... not something i'm interested in attending."
and a few other relatively polite comments about how i don't want to go to this event... you are the one who keeps getting riled up about this, as well as making vaguely insulting comments... "fearless pendant", "jealous", "dick", etc... simply because i'm not interested in something you like
josh [email] said at 3:00 AM 04-03-2006: i dont care about it being satisfying, it's simply bewildering how you are consistantly insulting me for, basically, maintaining that i'm not interested in going to an event that sounds like something i would not enjoy...
i could see if if you said "well, maybe you should try it and see if you like it" or something, but most of your comments were a bit more aggressive AND you also seem to think i am somehow being a dick by saying i dont want to go.
jake [email] said at 3:26 AM 04-03-2006: Josh, I don't think you are a dick, or jealous about response counts, or any other thing. Well, I do think you get pedantic sometimes, but I can be just as bad or worse. I'd say you matched my aggressive tit with your dismissive tat, but if I misread you then I apologize. I feel like we've gone down this route before.
courtney [email] said at 1:38 PM 03-31-2006: I'm trying to find out if there are any cool tech parties happening around the time of your visit. stay tooned.
arnie [email] said at 1:01 AM 04-01-2006: If only they were here on the night of the 11th! Industry night there is great fun, you get as much beer as you want, they feed you and it's free. I toured the distillery last time and I got schooled in the making of scotch, and gin(they make Junipero). In addition to shots of whiskey and gin, they gave us grappa, which I will never drink again.
rick [email] said at 10:39 AM 04-01-2006: I always thought it was just the Italian version of moonshine. When I had it, I feel it burning my throat all the way into the stomach.
josh [email] said at 4:08 PM 03-31-2006: is it cindy sherman's RECENT pictures? if so, that shit is terrible... at least the show i saw last year in NYC
Michael [ url ] said at 5:02 PM 03-31-2006: I'll be at the big sf celtic oyster and beer fest (in the url link) Sat afternoon - you guys should check it out. might also check out DubFX at pier 32 that night
josh [email] said at 3:03 AM 04-03-2006: im sure its open to all but you really need to email loren - it's his thing, and he knows about the food ordering
