this is turkeydinner.

I feel the burn in my knees and up my thighs as I pedal faster and faster, pulling up on the clips to make the light. I am tearing across town on my bike — aptly named Apocalypse Bike — towards North Beach for a party that at first I didn't want to go to. However, as I've set myself up for leaving this wonderful city of San Francisco in as many months, I want to make en effort to explore her one last time.

[He] comes on with that tiresome hipster approach that was natural 5 or 10 and even 25 years ago but now in 1960 is a pose On hipsters and posers. ...It's one long row of houses right down the line 50 miles to San Jose like a great monstrous Los Angeles beginning to grow south of Frisco. On suburban sprawl. ...There's a new strange underground group of beatniks or whatever who wear special smooth dandy clothes even tho it may just be a jean jacket with shino slacks they'll always have strange beautiful shoes or shirts, or turn around and wear fancy pants unpressed acourse but with torn sneakers."

I am trying to document how out of control the Bay to Breakers was this year. Drunks everywhere, people urinating on peoples front stairs, both females and males, and basically a very ugly event. If you have complaints please email me so I can convey our displeasure with the events sponsor and city officials. Thank you. Captain Teri Barrett, Park Police Station, from Sfist on Bay to Breakers.

Does not excuse this: Nor does it excuse Face Hunter for posting this picture.

Recently, I've returned to vegetarianism. This time I enter the cult with a lactose intolerant condition, which makes me almost vegan, but not quite as I still eat and enjoy eggs. This, of course, opens up a lot of culinary possibilities and makes breakfast that much more enjoyable.

Hey kids! It's been too long and I'm planning on redesigning the ol' turkeydinner.net here and generally doing a huge re-org and such. I may even KILL THE ARCHIVES! I know, I know, you are upset. But don't worry, it'll all be O.K. Please subscribe to this feed for updates (if you haven't already), or just check the site in a week or so. Yay!

Comments on Timbuk2 Artist Originals Holiday Event: Jesse! wrote: I just love how Timbuk2 is trying to gain all this street cred by using free sites like upcoming, sponsoring artists and holding events at hip co-ops like Ritual when everyone knows they're corporate, globalized and use PR firms. Update: I just found this, but looks like Patti Roll used this as an example on how not to get personal with dorks like me, awesome! (about minute 31:00 - 34:00 or so...) I just got Patti Roll'd!
