San Francisco
My new book, same as the old book
San Francisco Stories started out as a website, then became a book published by So New Media. It went out of print there a year ago. I finally got around to republishing it, thanks to the good folks at Lulu. I got my copy today and it looks great. Check it out!

I am a salty old man
Heather and I are having much fun moblogging today. She has an excuse - she is participating in 24 in 48: A collection of 24 people posting photos for 48 hours for your enjoyment. Me? I just like to follow the cool kids.
Check our Flickr photostreams: his and hers.
SF Lit Event
Please join yours truly and a handful of other contributors to My California tomorrow, Thursday, March 3, for an evening of California storytelling at the Mechanics’ Institute in San Francisco. It’s gonna be fun! Tell the folks at the door that you’re an “author’s guest” to get in free.
UPDATE: The event was a wonderful success! [...]
And I’ll Call it … San Francisco Stories
The other night I took the dogs out for their midnight walk. As I was crossing the street, I couldn’t help but notice the screaming coming from the park. It was Madison on a binge, having a shout-out with an extremely loud woman.
As I was crossing the street, another of the park denizens was [...]

Almost Meeting Gavin
I shared a lovely meal with some friends last week at a swanky new restaurant. Early in the meal, I overheard two waiters talking. Something about having to make room for the mayor. I thought they were joking.
Later, someone said, “Well there he is.” And over my shoulder I saw that familiar gelled ‘do. [...]
Things I Saw at Wondercon
Things I saw at Wondercon, a list in no particular order.
That Pepsi Girl.
Spider-man hanging out with a Stormtrooper.
That actor who played the froggy mutant in the X-Men movie.
That actor who beat up George Clooney in Ocean’s 11.
That actor who got killed in some horror movie.
That actor who played Boomer on Battlestar Galactica. The old one [...]
The Really Big Show
For weeks Heather and I have been running the photo printer constantly, buying up lengths of wire and strange plastic bits, and having conversations like, “does this dog go with this ripped graffiti?” and “I dunno, the broken taillight or the billowy cotton candy?” And after two late nights with tape and levels and other [...]
Goddammit
Motherfucker.
Tomorrow I’ll be evenhanded. Tonight I say: Fuck the polite denouement. Fuck the armchair quarterbacking. Fuck the this-is-actually-a-good-thing rationalizations.
This sucks. Matt Gonzalez captured the heart of the city, the heart of my people, dammit, MY heart. He was the candidate of the renters, the artists, the people who make San Francisco the place I want [...]
Election Results
Starting tonight at 8pm, SF Gate will be posting election results as they come in (see also). If you need some reassurance while you wait, try rereading this story in the SF Weekly: A Pair of Aces, where Mecklin argues that either candidate would make a great mayor. I’d be tempted to agree if Gavin [...]
