San Francisco smelled like shit yesterday

fanboi — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 23:23:09 +0000

I first noticed this Thursday night on Market street – a distinct smell of shit in the air. At first I thought I had stepped in a road apple but upon checking my footwear discovered I was clean. It went away once I descended into BART and I didn’t smell it when I got where I was going. But Friday afternoon I had errands to run all over the city and I smelled the same stench in Laurel Heights, on Fillmore, on Market again and even all the way in Potrero Hill. I had a friend with me who smelled it too, so it wasn’t just me.

I’ve spotted a few sources asking what it was, but no answers as of yet. It was mentioned by KTVU and there were lots of peeps yelping about it. Anyone have an answer?

Secret Invasion: X-Men #4 of 4

fanboi — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 02:18:22 +0000

Even with their new Super-Skrull forces, the Skrulls are reduced to fighting like cowards. Unable to cope with the X-Men’s guerrilla tactics, the damned dirty Skrulls have taken thousands of San Franciscans hostage and the X-Men have minutes to decide id they can/will be just as ruthless…

Secret Invasion: Inhumans #4 of 4

fanboi — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 23:11:33 +0000

The hunt for Black Bolt concludes – launching the Inhumans into their new destiny in the Marvel Universe! It’s sister vs. sister, cousin vs. cousin, Kree vs. Skrull! The loyalty lines are redrawn within the royal family as the Inhumans’ mission reaches critical mass! Can Medusa and her tribe get it together to save their once and future King? Or has it all been for nothing? The seeds for the WAR OF KINGS are planted right here!

I was enjoying this, but not all that into the bikini catfight aspect of the story – seems gratuitous. I am interested what kind of fallout will result from this Inhuman alliance with the Kree.

111508 – A National Day of Proposition 8 Protests

fanboi — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 06:12:32 +0000

Last Saturday, November 15th 2008 was a National Day of Protest about Proposition 8. Queerty and Towleroad has a great gallery of Marriage Equality protests from cities all over the United States. be sure to check it out and upload any photos of your own.

The photos below are some of the multitude of protest signs held aloft proudly in front of San Francisco’s City Hall… courtesy of my favorite guy, popapathy.

I love that here in San Francisco when there is a Prop 8 protest at City Hall as part of a National Day of Protest it is with the blessing of the city. Although the crowd was estimated at around 7500 people, I saw none of the racial hate speech or out of control rowdy types or overzealous police that I’ve read about at previous protests in other locations.

It was a beautiful and peaceful event with inspirational chorus of supportive speaking voices of all creeds and racial backgrounds.

Wednesday November 19th, from 7-9pm, at the SF LGBT Community Center (1800 Market – at Octavia) a “Community Forum is being held to address the issue “How can we better build bridges between the LGBT Community and communities of color.”

More than 4,000 people showed up in Manhattan for what gay-rights activists were calling a national day of protest, with other rallies taking place across California and in Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Fargo, N.D., and other cities, most put together by person-to-person efforts across the Internet.

In San Diego, a crowd estimated by police at 20,000 and by organizers at 25,000 demonstrated against Prop. 8, while in Los Angeles police said between 10,000 and 12,000 people marched peacefully though the downtown area. Smaller protests were held in cities and towns across the state.

Another high point was comedian Wanda Sykes coming out as a pissed off gay-married lesbian Saturday at a the Las Vegas Protest… and without arranging for the customary “Yep I’m gay” People Magazine cover. She announced they pissed off the wrong group of people and she is damn right.

This appears to be the season of Prop 8 protests so in case you are looking for some nifty signs YOU could hold up high while chanting or taunting some magic underwear clad Mormons out to impose their religious judgment on a neighboring state…

San Francisco Marches Against Proposition 8

fanboi — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 21:47:28 +0000

The eyes of the nation and the world are on San Francisco as thousands of demonstrators marched down Market Street in San Francisco on Friday night to protest the passage earlier this week of Proposition 8, which “eliminated” the recently won rights of gays and lesbians to marry.

Unlike the unrest and Police brutality in Los Angeles, there were no reports of arrests or violence in connection with the San Francisco demonstration.

Its not just us California queers who are breaking out our signs and candles… A New York demonstration is planned for Wednesday November 12 at 6:30 pm. So you dazzling New York urbanites call your friends, family and lovers past and present to congregate at the New York Manhattan Mormon Temple, 125 Columbus Ave at 65th Street, New York, NY. I wonder who has the biggest head count. Mormon sheep or LGBTQ individuals? We may find out eventually. Cause IT IS ON!

Seems like only yesterday they were putting the Castro through a time warp with false fronts meant to recreate the neighborhoods 70’s era vibe. Well not the trailer for the movie they did all that retro work for has hit the net…

Marvel’s mutants recent mass exodus to the bay area took the San Francisco Skrulls by surprise, but they’ve brought in some reinforcements who they THINK can handle the X-Men. Smart money is on the mutants.
