Horrible Club Threatened with Closure
1999-08-04 19:19:13
So, I really don't like this 1015 Folsom club here in San Francisco all that much. It's real gross with lots of muscleheads and big-hair suburbanites and stuff. But, well, you should help keep them from getting shut down.
I've only been to this club a couple of times, and I really hated it both times. One time the people I was with ditched me on the dance floor and ran away to some other club completely. The place was so packed with creepy bridge- and-tunnel types and beefy guys with backwards baseball caps and cell phones and etc. that I couldn't tell that my friends weren't there. Until, like, later.
BUT, and this is a big but, BUUUUTTTTT, I still signed the petition on this site to keep 1015 Folsom from shutting down. Why? Because I really hate the whole situation.
See, the South of Market area in San Francisco ("SoMa" -- get it?) is full of two things: 1) creepy nightclubs that gross Silicon Valley people come to in order to cut loose and 2) creepy live-work lofts that gross Silicon Valley people come to in order to live. Oh, and I guess 3) the bad Internet start-ups that gross Silicon Valley people come to in order to work, but they don't factor into this equation, so ignore those. Forget I said that. We just have 1) and 2) [not 3)] for the purposes of this discussion.
Anyways, the people in the lofts want the people in the clubs to go away. Like, WAY FAR away, like maybe it would be good if they fell off a cliff somewhere. They want to make SoMa safe for their stupid really-expensive lofts and dumb cafes and big dumb BMWs and things like that. Having Bad People getting all boozed up and dancing everywhere does not fit in their idea of a real nice place to live. So if they have their way, there will be no BOOZE or TECHNO MUSIC or BAD PEOPLE WHATSOEVER in the South of Market area! And maybe never in San Francisco!
I find this unconscionable.
So, the Loft People are trying to keep from letting this one club, 1015 Folsom, get a new Bad People Dancing and Booze Permit or whatever they call it. And the crazy freakos in City Hall are going to allow it! Augh!
So, to stop this TRAVESTY of JUSTICE, and to SUPPORT BAD PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, I advocate to you, the reader, that you go sign this crazy-ass e-petition. Hey, you don't even have to be from San Francisco or whatever. You just have to be able to fill in an HTML form. That's not so hard, is it?

During a magnificent sunny day in a fast receding autumn, the Spock Science Monitor reporters once again blew the playa dust off of their computers and covered the 2002 Burning Man Decompression – held every year just east of Portola Hill in beautiful San Francisco. Both an afternoon and evening issues were released to the unsuspecting crowd of freaks attempting to in some small way experience the euphoria of the playa – if but for a brief afternoon far from the desolation of Northern Nevada.

It’s election night. My wife and I are holed-up in this hotel that my political party has rented out for the evening. Outside, people are being violently beaten for whom they voted for. Is this South Africa? Perhaps we’re in Haiti or some Southern state during the 60’s. Of all the places where this sort of thing happens, it’s mind-boggling that we are in Portland, Maine. (More...)
Poor Metallica. All they want is to continue to put out the same weak "Heavy Metal" they've been churning out since the "And Justice For All" days? and make gooey wads of cash in the process. The problem is, people aren't buying their bound for the heavy metal scrap heap, over-produced, uninspired, tired crap. And let's face it, their various commercial endorsements won't pay for the lifestyle they've become comfortably accustomed to. Resorting to lawsuits makes perfect sense, when you need spending money. But just one lawsuit isn't going to pay their bills. So, to aid Metallica, I've composed an open letter to the boys in the band, with suggestions as to whom else they might sic their lapdog lawyers on... (More...)
