This is a rock and roll, sci-fi, film noir, B&W, zero budget western musical and it probably doesn't make any sense unless you are the writer (Cory McAbee) or have an IQ over 200 or under 50. But it looks like a strange, weird, humorous, very very eldritch movie absolutely filled to the brim with Bad People of the Future -- being set in the future and containing lots of bad people.

or you can just say fuck it, it's Thursday night, and I'm gonna go catch a buzz, watch a whacked out movie and then melt my brains with alcohol with Johnnie Royale. The American Astronaut is playing at the Lumiere (1572 California, SF), which isn't located in the finest neighborhood in the world, but it is the only place the American Astronaut is playing between Portland and LA - so we don't have a lot of choice.
The plan is to meet at either the Hanauma Bay (1548 California) or the Tango Tango (1550 California) , depending on which looks more Pigdogish,. Both of the bars are (according to the map) within spitting distance of the theater. For those really concerned about meeting up, email me off list for my cell number.
The movie should end about 9:10 or so and afterwards we'll be moving over to the Edinburgh Castle (950 Geary) which is about 5 blocks south and is fine Scottish bar that serves a good pint of Guinness and decent dinner as well -- assuming you like haggis. So if you miss the movie, you can catch up with us there.
Typical Pigdog mayhem will continue until at least midnight when the Bart Pumpkins will sprint for the last transbay public transportation option.
Unfortunately, the Lumiere is unlikely to allow pigs or dogs or even pigdogs, so you'll just have to leave them at home folks.

Health and Human Services officials spend a year on pot
After a yearlong, comprehensive, thorough, complete investigation into the effects of marijuana usage, Health and Human Services (HHS) officials recommended that it be moved from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act to Schedule III, meaning that the HHS no longer considers cannabis to be a drug with high abuse potential and no medical value.

If you've ever wondered what actual bullshit looks like, just check the back side of Lee Meyers' decommissioned police cruiser. Lee chopped the top of the passenger side of the car off so he could take his full-grown Watusi bull, named Howdy Doody, for joy rides around his home town of Neligh, Nebraska. Since the car doesn't have bathroom facilities Howdy Doody just craps all over the back and side of the car whenever he feels the need to let one go. (More...)
Self-righteous assholes block highway to Burning Man
A group of self-righteous assholes converted exactly zero people to their cause by blocking the highway to Burning Man this week. The group, which used a flimsy trailer, some lengths of chain, and a few folding chairs to block the road, put up signs including "Burners of the World Unite," but none of the burners stopped in traffic wanted to unite with them for anything.

We've had a lot of Jesus coverage lately here at the PDJ. But let's face it, we're not exactly cutting-edge in this subject area. Jesus has been making headlines for, oh, I guess it's a couple thousand years now. Jesus is a very strong brand. Jesus has a lot of mindshare. (More...)
