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.

John Dvorak has passed. I’m of mixed emotions. First off I’m more positive about his contribution to the overall technology journalism of the early PC days through the 90s, despite how many things he got wrong. He was a firebrand and commanded attention. (More...)

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.

Johnnie Royale's Guide to Wakes
Wakes can present problems for Bad People of the Future. (If you don't know what a BPotF is, you need to read more of the PDJ.) Sure, your friend is gone and you miss him and that really sucks; it does, I know. But all Bad People of the Future are gonna die, and they have all accepted that fact. They do deserve, however, to have one final kickass party to celebrate all the bad things they've done in the past, present and future. And you, as a friend, have to make sure that their desire for a final send off is well executed (sorry for the pun). That's just the way of BPotFdom. (More...)
