Things to do with Susan

Sing-A-Long Sound of Music @ The Castro - Thurs 12/1

2011-11-15T18:33:00.001-08:00

I went to the Sing-A-Long Sound of Music at the Castro Theatre a few years back and it was fabulous. It's going on 11/25 through 12/4, but I think the best time for me will be on Thursday 12/1. The show is at 7pm. Anyone interested?

Indy Spirits Expo - Wednesday 11/16

2011-11-12T16:14:00.001-08:00

Just saw a coupon for the Indy Spirits Expo on Wednesday night from 7-9:30. It looks like a fun excuse to taste all different kinds of booze ;-) The tix are $35 and it's being held at Mighty, a nightclub on Utah and 15th. Let me know if you're interested in going.

Carmen @ SF Opera - Tues 11/29 or Sun 12/4

2011-11-09T18:39:00.000-08:00

I've been wanting to see Carmen, and now that they're selling tickets for half off I really want to go. Anyone interested in going for the cheap seats ($31) on Tuesday 11/29 or Sunday 12/4 (both at 7:30)? I'm sure these will sell out fast!!!

Miranda July @ JCCSF - Saturday, Feb 25th

2011-10-27T21:46:00.000-07:00

The fabulous Miranda July is performing at the JCC in February. I know it's a long way from now, but I'm sure it will sell out. Let me know if you'd like to go and I'll get tickets.

2011-09-25T17:34:00.000-07:00

Howdy friends, the schedule for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is up, so now it's time to decide where to camp out. Here are lots of great options, it's hard to pick. I'm leaning towards Rooster on Friday, and Rooster or Towers of Gold on Saturday and Sunday, but I'm open to suggestions. Let me know if you have any preferences.

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass - 9/30 - 10/2

2011-09-12T09:18:00.000-07:00

It's time again for my favorite event of the year! Usually I skip the Friday show since it's only a half day, but this year it's a full day and the line up looks great so I'm going to see if I can get the day off. For sure I'll be going on Saturday and Sunday though, and I'll be there early to get a great spot. They haven't announce the stages yet, so I'll wait to decide where to camp out until then. Let me know if you're going though so I can keep you in the loop about where I'll be and how to find me! And definitely let me know if you're interested in going early and joining me for "breakfast" at HSB.

Take a look to see the line-up by day: http://www.strictlybluegrass.com/

Off the Grid @ Golden Gate Fileds - Sat, 9/17

2011-09-05T22:38:00.000-07:00

I had such a great time at this on th 27th, and there were a few folks who expressed interest and couldn't go then, that I'm going again on on Saturday the 17th. Let me know if you'd like to join me for the horseraces and food trucks!

Problem with replying to messages

2011-08-24T09:23:00.001-07:00

Hi all,

I've just recently heard from someone subscribed to my blog that whenever they tried to reply to my messages that they get a bounce back message from Google Groups that the group doesn't accept emails to owners or managers. I don't know what's gone wrong, and I'm so sorry if any of you have been responding to my messages but not ever hearing back from me.

I've tried making some changes to see if it will fix the problem. If you want, please reply to this message and see what happens .

xoxo...Susan

Off the Grid @ Golden Gate Fields - Saturday 8/27

2011-08-20T20:38:00.000-07:00

Two of my favorite things, food trucks and horse racing, are coming together next Saturday at Golden Gate Fields. It's also going on for the following three Saturdays ( 9/3, 9/10, and 9/17) so I'm open to go another Satuday as well or instead. Let me know if you want to join me!

SF Street Food Fest - Saturday, 8/20

2011-08-17T22:00:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I checked out the SF Street Food Festival the first year and it was too crowded so I gave up. But I thought I should try it out again. Anyone interested in giving it a go with me?

SF Opera @ Stern Grove - Sunday 8/21

2011-08-17T15:48:00.000-07:00

It's the last show of the summar at Stern Grove this Sunday and the San Francisco Opera is performing (arias and solos). I'll be going early with Julie to get a good spot, so let me know if you're coming and I'll save some space for you. Show starts at 2, but if it's a popular show they stop letting people in before then, sometimes as early as noon.

SF Ballet @ Stern Grove - Sunday, 7/31

2011-07-29T12:37:00.000-07:00

This Sunday the San Francisco Ballet is performing at Stern Grove. I'm hoping for another lovely day there. Who wants to join me?

When Harry Met Sally @ Union Square - Sat, 7/16

2011-07-11T21:08:00.000-07:00

It's another Film Night in the Park this Saturday, this time they're showing When Harry Met Sally at Union Square Park. As usual it's free... just bring wine, snacks, and bundle up! Who wants to join me?

Bay to Breakers - Sunday, May 15th

2011-03-02T19:13:00.000-08:00

It's getting time to start preparing for Bay to Breakers! Our concept this year is High School Undead (I'll be a Marching Band Geek vampire or zombie... the picture above is me as a Vampirate last year, I sense a theme!).

Some of you may have heard me talk about Marching Band vs. Cheerleaders, but Kiley and Lindsay suggested this change and I thought it sounded great. This idea may also maybe more practical as I haven't seen a lot in the way of Marching Band costumes out there (although I'd love some fellow band geeks if you find one). Kiley did find great, inexpensive cheerleading uniforms at this site. She and Lindsay are going to be cheerleaders, probably with Sunnydale High colors...for you Buffy geeks out there ;-)

So, the next big question this year is whether or not to register. The word is that they're going to enforce registrations this year, but they say that every year and it never seems to happen. I went ahead and registered anyhow as it makes sense to me to contribute since I'll be participating and it definitely costs a lot to put this event on (even just the porta potties must cost a fortune!). Anyhow, I leave it to you, but here the link to register.

Kevin Starr on the Golden Gate Bridge @ the JCC - Weds, 2/2

2010-12-22T19:44:00.001-08:00

I'm kind of a geek about SF history, and this sounds fun. Here's what the JCC says about it:

"In 1937, the Golden Gate Bridge rose high above the Bay Area, linking the urbanity of San Francisco with the wild headlands of Marin County. Join Kevin Starr, one of America's most celebrated historians, as he provides an intriguing account of the building of the Golden Gate Bridge. Discover the significance of it's construction and the statement the great landmark made about America's engineering prowess"

Anyone want to join me?

Hand Car Regatta in Santa Rosa - Sunday, Sept 26th

2010-09-18T21:54:00.000-07:00

I've been dying to check out the Handcar Regatta in Santa Rosa since I heard about it last year. I'm not sure how to describe it, especially since I haven't been yet, but it seems to be a steam punk-y, costume-y, kind of event! I'll definitely be treking up north next Sunday for it, so let me know if you'd like to come along! I may even dress up...

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass - Saturday & Sunday, 10/2 & 10/3

2010-09-18T10:23:00.000-07:00

I'm so excited that it's almost time for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass again, and it's the 10th anniversary this year!!! I'm planning to go on Saturday and Sunday (but it's also going on Friday for those of you who are free). Julie and I will be getting there early both days to get a sweet spot. Feel free to come early or late, but let me know if you're coming so I can keep you updated on our location. They haven't announced who's performing at which stages yet, which will help me decide where I want to camp out each day, but I usually pick one of the smaller stages.

For those of you who haven't gone before, I think that this is the best music festival, and one of my absolute favorite things to do in San Francisco! It's at Speedway, Lindley & Marx meadows in Golden Gate Park and it's absolutely free. You can buy food there, but you can bring any food or drink (including alcohol) that you like. I hope you'll join me...

Off The Grid @ Fort Mason - Friday, September 3rd

2010-08-31T21:00:00.000-07:00

I'm finally going to check out the Off The Grid street food festival this Friday at Fort Mason from 5-9. I'm feeling very inspired after the Eat Real Festival this past Sunday. I'll head over right after work, so will probably get there around 5:30. Let me know if you want to join me!

Big Gay Ice Cream Jamboree @ Humphry Slocombe - Sunday, August 22nd

2010-08-20T13:24:00.000-07:00

The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck from NYC is coming to SF and doing a special event at Humphry Slocombe Sunday night at 7:00. Oh, and Jane Wiedlin is going to be there too!!! What can be bad about that? Let me know if you want to join me

Eat Real Festival @ Jack London Square - Sunday, August 29th

2010-08-19T16:38:00.000-07:00

Went to the Eat Real festival last year and it was fantastic, so I'm definitely going again this year. It's both Saturday and Sunday, but I'm planning for Sunday. I'd like to take the ferry there and I think that the one that leaves the Ferry Building at 11:50 arriving at Jack London Square at 12:20 seems perfect! Who wants to join me?

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Saturday, August 7th

2010-08-05T08:55:00.000-07:00

It's time for another Film Night in the Park (well actually, I haven't been to any so far this summer... boo!). I'm going to be out wine tasting all day, but I'm sure I'll be back in time for the show. Now, I'll bet it will be freezing cold, but if we bundle up, and drink lots of wine, I'm sure we'll survive. Who will brave the cold and join me?

Lower Haight Art Walk - Friday, August 6th

2010-08-02T19:50:00.000-07:00

Looking forward to checking out the Artwalk here in my neighborhood. There will be food carts, art, bands, and a scavenger hunt!!! Come with me.

Renegade Craft Fair @ Fort Mason - Sat & Sun, July 31 & Aug 1

2010-07-22T16:25:00.000-07:00

Woo hoo... it's time for another Renegade Craft Fair! It's next Saturday and Sunday (July 31st and August 1st) from 11 to 7 at Fort Mason. I haven't decided yet which day to go yet, so your response will very likely influence my decision ;-)

SF Opera Aida Simulcast @ AT&T Park - Friday, September 24th

2010-07-22T09:09:00.000-07:00

Okay, this is being promoted way ahead of time, but I'm passing along already anyhow. I went to this last year and it was very cool, although by the end I was shouting "Die Already!" and went home about one aria away from the finale ;-) Needless to say Operas are a bit long, but that's what is so great about seeing it for free at the ballpark.

This year they're doing Aida, and I'm hoping that I'll recognize many of the songs. Now even though it's free you do have to RSVP, which I've already done for 4 people... one of those spots is yours if you want it (just let me know).

The Royal Tenenbaums @ Dolores Park - Thursday, May 13th

2010-05-09T11:58:00.001-07:00

2010-05-09T08:57:00.000-07:00

It's B2B time again and this year me mateys and me arrrrrrrrrre to be pirrrrates! We'll be meeting up at my place, conveniently a few blocks from the route, for a bite to eat before the race starts, will head to watch the runners go by, then join the costumed & drunken masses! Costumed or not, let me know if you'd like to join in!

SF Underground Market and Disposable Film Festival - Wednesday, May 12th

2010-04-26T20:28:00.000-07:00

I've been wanting to check out the SF Underground Market, and the next one is at the Disposable Film Festival.... two for one! Who wants to join me?

2010-04-08T20:51:00.000-07:00

The Cherry Blossom Festival is this weekend in Japantown. And New People is also hosting the Bazaar Bizzare craft fair! Anyone interested in joining me on Sunday?

2010-04-01T20:00:00.000-07:00

This Litquake/Believer event sounds great. It's at the JCC, and here's what they say about it.

Let me know if you'd like to join me and I'll get tix.

Fantasic Mr. Fox @ The Independent - Monday, April 5th

2010-03-18T15:19:00.000-07:00

The Independent is showing Fantastic Mr. Fox on their Monday free movie night coming up on April 5th. I never got around to see this in the theater, but I'm a big Wes Anderson fan, so I'd really love to see it... and it's FREE (unless you decide to get a cocktail... which is even better)! Who's in?

SF Sketchfest @ Mezzanine - Sunday, January 31st

2010-01-26T19:09:00.000-08:00

I just won 2 tix to the SF Sketchfest show this Sunday at Mezzanine featuring The Red Wine Boys, John Hodgman, and Mates of State. The 2nd ticket is free to the first person I hear from that wants to join me!

No Pants! Subway Ride - Sunday, January 10th

2010-01-05T20:17:00.000-08:00

I know this sounds crazy, but I did the No Pants ride on BART a couple years ago and it was so much fun! Please join me, I can't go pantsless alone ;-)

The Hangover @ The Independent - Monday, January 4th

2010-01-02T11:34:00.000-08:00

The Independent is having another of their free movie nights this Monday with "The Hangover" (seems appropriate right after new year's). Doors open at 7:30, show starts at 8:00. Free movie, cocktails (not free, but pretty cheap), what's better than that.... who's in?

Holiday Craft Fairs!

2009-12-01T08:18:00.001-08:00

There are 3 great looking holiday craft fairs coming up over the next few weeks:

1. Handmade Ho-Down on Thursday, December 3rd - billed as the "First Ever SF Etsy Urban Craft Show Event"... that's good enough for me!

2. Bazaar Bizarre on Saturday & Sunday, December 12 & 13 - Went to this one last December and it was great!

3. Renegade Craft Fair on Saturday & Sunday, December 19 & 20 - So excited to have this fair back a second time this year just in time for holiday shopping!

Let me know if you'd like to join me for any or all of these fairs!

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass - Saturday & Sunday, 10/3 & 10/4

2009-09-17T20:48:00.000-07:00

Woo hoo, the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass schedule has been announced! So here's what I'd like to do... I'm going to skip Friday, but I'd like to show up early and spend the day on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday I definitely want to see The Old 97's so I'd like to camp out at the Towers of Gold Stage, where they'll be playing at 3:30. Okkervil River is also playing that stage at 1:35. I'll probably ramble over to the Banjo Stage at 2:40 to see Steve Martin too.

On Sunday I want to camp at the Star Stage where Neko Case is playing at 5:20. Elvis Perkins in Dearland is also playing that stage at 11:40. I'd also love to check out Billy Bragg, Robin Hitchcock, and Aimee Mann on Sunday.

So last year I showed up at around 9:30 in the morning. While it was really early, it was totally worth it to get a great spot, relax, eat, drink and wander around before the crowds pour in. Jan has volunteered to join me early on Sunday, so I'd love it if someone would join me early on Saturday too. Let me know if you're going and would like to camp out with me at all!

Opera at the Ballpark - Saturday, September 19th

2009-09-17T14:23:00.000-07:00

I'm joining Julie and her friends to go to the free SF Opera simulcast at AT&T Park Saturday night. The opera, Verdi's Il Trovatore, is being performed live at the opera house and simulcast into AT&T Park. Entrance is free, but you can get in early for a better seat if you RSVP here.

Think about it... watching opera while eating a hot dog and drinking a beer ;-) You know the drill, hit me up if you'd like to join me.

Eat Real Festival - Saturday, August 29th

2009-08-23T18:35:00.000-07:00

Another street food festival next weekend called 'eat real' at Jack London Square! I'm hoping that it won't be as crazy as the SF Street Food Festival was this weekend **fingers crossed**. I'm going on Saturday afternoon but it's going on all weekend.

SF Street Food Festival - Saturday, August 22nd

2009-08-17T18:57:00.000-07:00

The name says it all... street food on Folsom Street! I'm definitely going, so let me know if you want to join me.

High-heeled Keds!

2009-08-13T19:41:00.000-07:00

My old favorite high-heeled sneaks totally gave out and I'm so happy that I was able to find a new pair. These one's are even real Keds!

New People/J-Pop Summit - Saturday, August 15th

2009-08-09T11:48:00.000-07:00

For those of us who like Japanese pop culture I think this is the day for us in San Francisco. The opening of New People and the J-Pop Summit street fair is next Saturday from 11-5. Oh, and Hello Kitty will be there!

Pretty in Pink @ Dolores Park - Saturday, August 1st

2009-07-24T10:18:00.000-07:00

The next Film Night in the Park is the 80's classic 'Pretty in Pink'. Last year's big film night hit was '16 Candles', so this one should big a fun night too! I'm definitely going to be there, so let me know if you want to join me.

Renegade Craft Fair @ Fort Mason - July 18 & 19

2009-07-08T20:56:00.001-07:00

The Renegade Craft Fair is back!!! I went last year and it was seriously the best craft fair I've ever been too. I can't go on Saturday, but I will definitely be going on Sunday (7/19).

Hit me up if you'd like to join me (what do you think of my lame attempt there at sounding hip?).

Air Sex Championships @ The Independent - Tonight!

2009-06-24T13:53:00.000-07:00

Okay, this is totally random and last minute, but I just heard about the Air Sex Championships tonight at the Independent and thought it looked very interesting. Think Air Guitar, but with fake sex instead of a fake guitar ;-) Tickets are $15. Anyhow, let me know if you'd like to join me....

Goldfinger at Dolores Park - Saturday, June 20th

2009-06-15T15:17:00.000-07:00

Singing Flash Mob @ Union Square - Thursday, June 11th

2009-05-25T12:49:00.000-07:00

Here's what they say about it on Squid List:

Singing Flash Mob @ Union Square

Yes, San Francisco's had flash mob pillow fights, zombie attacks, santa parades and more, but it's time we had some music! What: 'With a Little Help from My Friends' (first note Ab, just like the Beatles recording) Why: Because SF needs more communal silliness. No. Really. The City takes itself way too damn seriously. Suggestions: - Bring a walkman, mp3 player or something with the Beatles version of the song to listen to. This will help you keep on key if you're concerned about that sort of thing, but you shouldn't be. We promise not to stand up and walk out on you. - Bring some friends--you'll get by with some help from them.

Thursday, 11 June, 2009

2009-04-10T18:57:00.000-07:00

I went to the Big Wheel Race a couple years ago at Lombard Street, it was amazing!!! It's moved to Potrero Hill and the police are threatening to shut it down, but I think it's worth checking out. Let me know if you'd like to join me!

2009-03-13T11:33:00.000-07:00

This American Life Live Simulcast - Thursday, April 23rd

2009-03-10T20:50:00.000-07:00

On Thursday, April 23rd host Ira Glass will bring the wildly popular radio show This American Life to the big screen for a one-night only live event.

Zoetrope All Story Release Party - Tuesday, January 27th

2009-01-15T15:22:00.000-08:00

Cafe Zoetrope is hosting a free party for the Zoetrope: All Story Release, here's what they say about it:

We write with excellent news. Zoetrope: All-Story has just been honored with two GOOD DESIGN awards. With the Lou Reed-designed winter edition now landing on newsstands, we have at least a few great reasons to celebrate.

Michael Chabon in Berkeley - Monday, January 5th

2008-12-30T17:58:00.000-08:00

Jon Carroll in Conversation with Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novelist Michael Chabon - Jan. 5, 2009 at the Berkeley Repertory Theater - Thrust Stage. Here's what they say about him:

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon is "one of the most celebrated writers of his generation." His first novel, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh (1988), was published when Chabon was 25 and catapulted him to literary celebrity. He followed it with a second novel, Wonder Boys (1995), and two short- story collections. In 2000, Chabon published The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, a critically acclaimed novel that The New York Review of Books called his magnum opus; it received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2001. His most recent novel, The Yiddish Policemen's Union, an alternate history mystery novel, was published in 2007 to enthusiastic reviews and won the Hugo, Sidewise, and Nebula awards.

Josh Kornbluth at the Contemporary Jewish Museum, January 2009

2008-12-23T23:18:00.000-08:00

Josh Kornbluth is doing a new show on Andy Warhol's '10 Jews' exhibit at the Contemporary Jewish Museum on January 10, 11, 17, and 18. Here's what Josh says about the show:

In 1980 Andy Warhol -- then at a low ebb in his storied career -- was commissioned to do portraits of 10 famous Jews of the 20th century. As a mnemonic device, I have grouped these 10 into pairs (regardless of whether they actually belong together):

Rhapsody in Lou: George Gershwin & Louis Brandeis.
Acting Out: Sigmund Freud & Sarah Bernhardt.
I & Thou & Thou & Thou: Martin Buber & The Marx Brothers.
Ein/Stein: Gertrude Stein & Albert Einstein.
Metameirphosis: Golda Meir & Franz Kafka.

When the portraits originally were shown, they were greeted (for the most part) with great disdain by the critics and with great joy by the people who flocked to see them at various Jewish institutions. One of the things that is so fascinating about the "Warhol's Jews" installation at the CJM is that it is really an exhibit not only of the artworks themselves, but also of how they were conceived and received. It also raises the question of what it means to be showing them again now, 28 years later, when Martin Buber's masterwork "I and Thou" (for example) may no longer be in the forefront of everyone's consciousness. (He certainly wasn't in mine, until I started working on this piece. Now it's all Buber, all the time!)

And who was Andy Warhol? And why did this practicing Catholic choose to do portraits of 10 famous Jews? And why these Jews? And why is a Jew ending this paragraph with yet another question?

I'll tell you why: I don't yet know the answers. I keep returning to the CJM, revisiting "Warhol's Jews" (and their other fine exhibits), and sipping a meditative matzoh-ball soup in the museum café as I ponder Warholosity, Jewishness, and 10-ism. I can't promise to have solved every conundrum by the time my piece opens on Jan. 10 -- or even by the last performance, on Jan. 18 -- but I can promise that the presentation will look and sound fantastic, as I am working with some of my favorite collaborators: designer Alex Nichols, composer Marco d'Ambrosio, director David Dower, and producer Jonny Reinis. I can also promise that your attendance will warm the heart of my brand-new company, Quixotic Projects; this piece is our first commissioned work!
If you're in the Bay Area, I hope you can catch one of these performances -- each of which will be followed by me interviewing a terrific expert on one of the portrait subjects. Your ticket will also get you into the museum, where you can wander, observe, slurp, and kibbitz in their spectacular new building. I look forward to seeing you there!

Let me know if you want to join me and I'll get tix!

2008-11-11T17:19:00.000-08:00

St. George Spirits (home of Hangar One vodka) is having a Holiday Open House. Here's what they say about it:

After months of hard work in our holiday workshop, we have found the solution for this year's holiday shopping gloom: a Holiday Open House! Seriously, shopping while eating and drinking is a lot more fun than waiting outside in the cold for a department store to open.
Like always, the stills will be running most of the day, allowing you a rare opportunity to see the process up close with a live distillation. Entrance will include 3 lil' cocktails, our spirits (including the new Hangar One Spiced Pear Vodka release), and the iced vodka luges. Music and food will be supplied throughout the day to keep everyone upright.

To make the shopping even easier (and tastier), our friends, who just happen to run some of the best specialty food companies around, will be there to sample and sell their wares: Recchiuti Confections with truffles and chocolates; June Taylor Jams, with amazing jams, preserves, and syrups; Boccalone with salumi, cured meats, and all things pork; and La Cocina, with a variety of sweet treats made with organic ingredients.

All of our delicious spirits and holiday gift packs will be available for sampling and sale, naturally, including the St. George Absinthe Verte and the Hangar One Spiced Pear Vodka.
Finally, we are once again providing shuttle service between the West Oakland BART station and the Alameda Main street ferry building to and from the distillery. Yes, it's free --- just get on!

BART Shuttle service begins at 12:30pm and continues at 1:30pm, 2:30pm, 3:30pm with the last pick-up at 4:30pm. From the ferry at 1:45pm and 4:15pm.
Will-call tickets will be available in the distillery store starting today and by phone for $30. Call us at 510.864.0635 to reserve your spot. We sold out last time so don't wait!

Tasting tickets to try both the Absinthe Verte and De Profundis (20-year aged Pear Brandy) are $10.

Entry, if not sold out, will be $40 at the door.
Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 from 1pm to 6pmSt. George Spirits/Hangar One DistilleryEntry Fee is $30 in advance, $40 at the door.This is a 21 and over event. Please bring your picture ID!

Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Michael Moore has never been afraid of a fight, and this year's presidential election is no exception. Slacker Uprising, a new movie about his swing state tour in the 2004 election maximizes the reach of his message and as a thank you gift to his fans.

Zombie Alert: This Saturday

Zombie Alert: This Saturday

Friends and countrymen, it is with a heavy heart that I report on the state of Zombie Activity in our fair city of San Francisco. The time has come to once again activate the radio-attraktor towers to funnel hundreds of zombies through downtown to a secure location. This is a risky maneuver, as evidenced by carnage enshrouding last year's event. Rest assured, we have made improvements to the technology.

We will turn on the radio-attraktor towers at 2:05pm on Saturday, August 16th. All zombies in the area will be telepathically compelled to march down a route which we will disclose in a future email. The radio waves will also cause undead to crave duct tape instead of human flesh. If you are unfortunate enough to be standing along the route with a duct tape "X" on your torso, you will be attacked and consumed by the horde, after which you will be one of them. Don't wear your favorite shirt.

Please, please tell your friends and family not to be anywhere near the route at 2:05pm this Saturday! Have them sign up for updates ( http://eatbrains.com/announcements ) or follow the movement live on Twitter with up-to-the-minute zombie migration forecast, Beijing Olympic protest style ( http://twitter.com/SFZombieMob ). If we loose radio control of the mob, the result will be catastrophically gruesome!

Description taken from other cities' events...

First things first, if you don't know what this is you MUST go to www.improveverywhere.com and read, read, read! Also Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5021079203

New York is holding their annual No Pants Subway Ride on January 12th and WE NEED TO PARTICIPATE!

Improv Everywhere is a group based in NYC that stages large-scale "Scenes". The No Pants Subway Ride is an annual event that gets upward of 200 participants, some veterans and many new volunteers aka 'agents.'

Mission:

Ride BART WITHOUT YOUR PANTS. You can wear socks, shoes, boots, coats, gloves, shirts and hats - just no pants. Dress warmly as you will have no pants. (Please no thongs, it's just impolite. You might get jumped, groped or thrown in jail) The hard part is to be completely solid about it. Do not break a smile or get all giggly about it. You have to pretend like you don't know any of the other pantless riders. And when asked about it, don't acknowledge the wierdness. You should be acting like it is perfectly normal to have been waiting for and riding BART without your pants!

REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION

1) Willing to take pants off on BART

2) Able to keep a straight face about it

**THIS IS A PARTICIPATORY EVENT. DO NOT SHOW UP UNLESS YOU PLAN TO TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF. **

DETAILS

When: Saturday, January 12 at 3:00 PM, Sharp! (Over by around 5:30)

Where: I'm thinking we should meet across the street from Embarcadero station, but I'm open to ideas here.

Bring: A backpack or other place to stow pants once they've dropped.

Do NOT bring: A camera, this would make things waaay too obvious

Wear: Normal winter clothes (hat, gloves, etc)

Further instructions to follow.

INVITE EVERYONE! It needs to be amazing.

Soooo, let me know if you're interested in going with me and maybe I'll have the nerve to take off my pants!!!

2007-07-09T18:42:00.000-07:00

I've read about these guys, looks like a great show, and tix are discounted on Goldstar. The Show starts 7/13 and goes through 7/29 at A.C.T.

Here's a little write up on the show:

The outrageous cabaret duo is bringing their hilariously naughty act to A.C.T. in a three-week summertime run. Get ready!

Kiki & Herb: Alive From Broadway finds the acclaimed duo back in San Francisco displaying their musical prowess with reinventions of songs by artists ranging from The Cure and Dan Fogelberg to the Wu-Tang Clan, the Scissor Sisters, Radiohead and Bob Merrill. Kiki (Justin Bond) is a brash, boozy septuagenarian chanteuse. She's seen it all and done it all, just don't expect her to remember it all. On stage with her stalwart accompanist and only living friend Herb (Kenny Mellman), Kiki lets rip with political rants, searing social commentary and confessions about their own highs and lows. Together they've self-medicated their way through numerous regimes, fads and fascists, presidencies, pregnancies and personal challenges that would send most people into rehab or retirement, but not Kiki & Herb. They don't quit!

Kiki & Herb: Alive From Broadway is the perfect introduction to an act The New York Times called "grand, vivacious and sordid." Join the duo in their latest installment of musical madness.

Let me know if you're interested in joining me.
