Since I haven’t been posting lately, I feel it’s downright admissable that I throw some other stuff up here tonight…

Let’s take a peek around the city …

a) if you’re sleeping outdoors and it’s chilly, position yourself on top of a street level steam vent

b) an episode of the Journeyman TV show is being filmed in downtown right now

maybe this is ‘Emmy’s ex-boyfriend getting some “Extra” work now

c) if you’re not satisfied with the no-standing-no-laughing-no-cosmopolitan’s-allowed rules of Bourbon & Branch, scoot around back to the library..

d) classic laid-back Rose’s Cafe produces some great oven-roasted dishes

Mid-afternoon yesterday my friend and I decided to trek down to Mountain View to go take in a special occassion. One of only 12 7-11’s in the world that have completely transformed into a Kwik-E-Mart in a PR blitz for the upcoming Simpsons long awaited movie debut. Which has been furiously rumored for years
So down in south bay yesterday, we were able to fully actualize that its been a long time coming:

Apu: I always thought karma was baloney, but now I know it’s not.
Homer: Mmmm, caramel baloney…

The annual Fillmore Street festival is always one of my favorite street festivals here in the city by the bay. Fillmore street has a long, rich, vibrant music history that stretches all the way back to WWII… so many famous people have graced this street with their presence and influence.

Today it is lined with over 200 businesses and each year around this time the city blocks off about 12 blocks along the upper Fillmore area to celebrate different music styles, the arts, and of course food and drinks. Last year I missed it, so this year I made sure I cruised by there and took in some scenery, sounds of brass and good ol’ BBQ on a stiiiiiiiiiiiik.
