Many, many people have voiced complaints that the Puke In that was scheduled this Saturday was oddly timed. So I've decided to re-schedule it for the following week. You see, Earth Day is very important to people here in San Fransandiego and people were downright offended by the timing. Besides, the La Couchina trailer wont' be there this weekend. They boxxed out when they found out about the Puke In. So we've got another week to talk about this important issue! Terrific!!! There ...Continue Reading

Why I'm gonna puke on a trailer this Saturday in Dolores Park at 2:00 and why you should join me.. I'm gonna go puke on a trailer this weekend because no one knows that this weekend a commercial entity is going to open a store in Dolores Park and is doing it without anyone knowing. Just like last year, they are trying to sneak in like sneaky sneakers. After all the meetings, the 1,500 signatures we collected, the emails, the outrage and the vitriol we showed last year, it's the same slimy tactics all over again. The f ...Continue Reading

So I got fired from my gig at the SF Weakly. I offended someone. I always do. I guess it was the park issue. Hot issue, that park thing... Oh well, I get to put it on my resume of jobs I've been fired from (every single one). If you are interested in my foray of ranting, here is a link: http://blogs.sfweekly.com/author.php?author_id=2561 here is how much money I got paid for all that: My first paid gig as a writer. My mother would be so proud... So yea. I tried working for the evil mega media corporation. The SF W ...Continue Reading

Our parks are being run to bankrupscy by a bunch of crooks and criminals. The privitazation that they are denying is a prostitution of our democratic process. The commisioners that are supposed to be memebers of the public overseeing the staff of our civic entity are stacked with fucking developers and inside scumbags to just rubber stamp anything. They are SELLING parkland to developers. They are giving out 20 year leases to after school programs that cost $1,100 a month per kid. Last year that program was free a ...Continue Reading

Well I did. You can read about 2 books I think deserve support in this weeks editon of the exhibitionist blog. The books both have release partys on Thursday night. Both books are rad. Both writers excellect stuarts of our city of Art and Innovation. But you'll have to read the blog to hear about it... http://blogs.sfweekly.com/exhibitionist/2011/02/liberate_billboards_bitch_at_t.php#more stay dry... chicken ...Continue Reading

If a tree falls in the middle of a forest and no one is around to hear it; does it make a noise? If the Circus Redickuless performed in a club and no one came to see it, do they still suck? If I wrote a column for the SF Weakly and nobody read it, is it still selling out? Well, yes. Actually it's yes yes and yes. Defiantly yes. Well I did it. Lets see how many people complain about it, rail against it, applaud me for it or just don't bother to read it. My guess is that I'll enjoy writing it, you'll ...Continue Reading

The San Francisco Department of Parks and Recreation (RPD) has a general manager. His name is Phil Ginsburg. You detest this man. RPD also has 7 commissioners that are supposed to be the voice of the people, so that there is some oversight to the staff. The chair of the commission is Mark Buel. You also detest this man. The rest of the commissioners are actually kinda cool. But powerless. I'm going to tell you a few things, and you may wish you get involved in the future. Things are happening that are totally unsustain ...Continue Reading

... it's truly an honor to know all of you. Being part of this camp is, like, been the best week of my life. Next year we definitely have to have an art car, though.... OK, all kidding aside, this is serious. Here is a guy who served mankind. When his feet walked, he didn't walk in a city or a country. He walked on Earth. He let his conscience be his guide and he doesn't have a 401K, a pension and if there was ever 1 guy... just ONE man who was responsible for people telling each other that they loved each other and th ...Continue Reading

So it's no secret that Dolores Park is a super cool place to go. It's also no secret that the department that has been allocated budget and given city resources to protect and be a steward to our parks is an organization that is corrupt top to bottom and needs to be gutted and the commissioners need to go to jail for treason for crimes against parks. They batter parks. Abuse them. They sell them off to their food snob friends. They close them. They make sweetheart deals, squander their budget and then show a deficit so ...Continue Reading
