  2. Announcer: Thirty parents in SF agree.

    Parents: [in unison] The Junction in Mill Valley is ideal!

    Parent gravely: They have a damned pirate ship!

    [The parents all nod in agreement]

    Unnamed older parent: The beer garden vibe is also nice.

    [The parents nod in agreement and toast their drinks]

    Parent gravely: It’s a too bad there’s nothing like it in San Francisco!

    [The parents continue to nod in agreement]

  3. 19th book of 2024: “Sourdough”, by Robin Sloan ( https://www.robinsloan.com/books/sourdough/).

    Re-using my comment on Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore: “Fun, light, very quick read. Very weird to read something so connected to ~2017~ techie-San-Francisco and get 100% of the references and roll my eyes at a few of them.”

    Started Sloan’s newest, Moonbound, immediately afterward, and it’s very different so far.

    The paperback cover of “Sourdough”, by Robin Sloan. btw, it would be cool if publishers wrote their own alt-texts for their own covers!A photograph of a pale and cracked loaf of bread on a barely tinted solid yellow is covered in yellow crinkle-cut ovals in a sticker effect, one has the title, another a blurb, and so on (pasted bwloe.

  4. I think fauxtesting kinda sucks but this one cracks me up every time I walk past it because I also think scoldy and bossy signs also suck.

    A fake road sign in the window of a house in san francisco that says:PRIVATESIGNDO NOTREADI'm sure on the backside, it didn't say nothing, etc., etc.

  5. Moved a few afternoon meetings to make the last hour and a half of Kid Koala at SF MOMA’s ‘Art of Noise’ exhibition. I’m a huge fan from way back, was amazing!

    Normally a phone-in-pocket-guy at shows but, he put on on John Carpenter’s soundtrack to Big Trouble Little China to play a bit of “Pork Chop Express” and I had to send proof back east to brag.

    photograph of Kid Koala at SF MOMA's ‘Art of Noise’ exhibition in front of a knee-level table of fancy audio gear, with stacks of records, probably 60 or 80 or so, leaning against the table, and Kid Koala standing on front of it, looking at the back cover of John Carpenter’s soundtrack of Big Trouble Little China trying to decide what song to play for us

    oh word, which one was that? don’t worry, I got you
