San Francisco 1955 Cinemascope Film I find a few things interesting in this. One, It hits most of the spots that one might still today go when sightseeing in San Francisco. Two, a lot of it does not look any different today (or not a whole lot different). Three, at the same time, a lot of it has been either replaced or just plain torn down. Four, I did not know that

Dance-Along Lite at Cal Academy We're getting down to the wire now -- Showtime on Saturday and Sunday. One nice thing that happened at Cal Academy.  As we were walking into the atrium, a girl of about ten or twelve saw us carrying instruments and wearing band uniforms and ran over to us.  She asked excitedly, "Are you going to play?!" We said, "We're going in to play right now."

Get Ready to Dance Along I shot this last Tuesday night, but didn't get to start editing it until yesterday. Honestly, the background was just a way to get rid of an ugly institutional-green wall.  I think I got more practice in chroma keying and masking in the last two days than I've had in the last ten years.

Good Morning America The Today Show Two similar stories, one from Good Morning America in 1992, and another from The Today Show in 1995.  Both are about different interpretations of The Nutcracker, and both featured the San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band's Dance-Along Nutcracker. The band appears in the GMA clip at around 2:30, and in the Today clip at around 4:10.

They played four songs from the upcoming Gomez album, plus one track from Ben Ottewell's recent solo album, plus a number of Gomez fan favorites. Swedish American Hall is an alcohol-free space, so the crowd was a little less rowdy than might have been expected.

New Year's Fireworks San Francisco 1/1/11  I didn't think we would make it out to the fireworks this year because the weather claimed a 70% chance of rain at midnight on New Year's Eve.  But then around 7:00 p.m., that changed to a 15% chance of rain.  So we decided to chance it. As it turned out, there was a pitiful attempt at drizzle right up until a couple of minutes to midnight.  Then it

Christoga Found via a truly entertaining article at Urlesque.  Apparently, yoga is an evil tool of Hinduism, secretly luring good Christians into other evil religions.  Think I'm exaggerating?  Go look at this video from CBN (I don't want to support them by embedding it here). If you practice yoga, the terrorists win. Someone please prove to me that this is a joke.

Take Off Your Riot Suit   This is the music that Doctor Popular was remixing at the picnic (the music that I used for the background of my picnic video).  The voices are a crowd of G20 Summit protesters chanting to the police, "You're sexy!  You're cute!  Take off your riot suit!" Doctor Popular has made the track available as a free download on his website.

It was a pretty standard parade.  Thanks to Carmex, my lips no longer felt like raw meat and I was able to play again.  We showed up on Spear Street at 9:45 and warmed up and rehearsed a little and decided what order we would march in.  Then at 11:30 we stepped onto Market Street. I ran into Aidan, who was being a safety monitor.  He said that the periodic delays in the parade were due to Cheer

This year for some reason, they put a stage across Castro Street in front of The Sausage Factory, taking half a block off the usual area.  Maybe this helped contribute to the overcrowded-ness of the event.

About two months ago, I posted about my top ten favorite new CDs by new artists of 2009.  Considering that I had only bought around ten new CDs by new artists,[1] it was not so much a question of "selection" as it was "what order should I put them in." Little Boots came in at number 4, and La Roux tied for first (with folk artist Lisa Hannigan, who is, in some ways, the Anti-Electropop).  I

Playbill lists the following plays and musicals as being in the works for future presentation on Broadway (to be fair, some sound like they might be pretty decent, but most sound pretty horrifyingly bad -- remember, these aren't just ideas, they're actually projects that have progressed far enough that they are considered to be "in the works"):  Angels (musical based on Milton's Paradise Lost)

Local Hero Last year, I wrote about how I always watch "The Cat And the Canary" on or near New Year's Eve.  The only (tenuous) connection that this movie has with New Year's Eve is that midnight figures prominently into the plot (coupled with the fact that in college I would watch my 8mm copy of this movie on New Year's Eve).  I watched the DVD yesterday afternoon.

As I've mentioned previously, one of my favorite albums this year is "Sea Sew" by Irish newcomer, Lisa Hannigan.  She's opening for David Gray tonight at the Masonic Auditorium.   That show sold almost entirely out before I heard about it (there were still some upper balcony seats available, which in my book means that it was effectively sold out). So I was pleased to find out that she would be

I think attendance was a little bit light this year, but it was still pretty crowded. The band played on the main stage from about 11:30 until noon, pretty much near the very beginning of the street fair.  There was no audience when we started, and there was a respectably-sized crowd when we finished (i.e., considerably more people watching the band than there were people playing in the band).

Chalk artist, Nikolas Larson, has started a blog to document his chalk drawings at various spots around the city. The reason I'm familiar with his work at all is that I walk past his work on the way to and from the gym.  Near the corner of 15th and Market, at the Union 76 gas station, there is a place where the sidewalk widens in such a way that it's actually a pretty low-foot-traffic area, and
