So this power outage is creating a Waymogeddon according to my friends who came to Bernal from the west side. They’re clueless when there’s no traffic signals or lights working.

and the smoking lounges are back at LAS airport too - and the payouts are higher on the poker machines like they used to be when the smoking lounges were around before they went away. Guess the decline in tourism to Las Vegas is bringing these back. So pro tip - gamble in these for higher payouts!

was cool to see Jean-Luc Godard playing #pinball in Linklater's Nouvelle Vague. It was a Swing Along which came out in 1963 while Breathless came out in 1960 but if you watch the film the 'continuity' would be something Godard wouldn't GAF about 😂

Tonight I’m running a casual friendly pinball event called Threesomes! Come by solo or with friends if you’re interested in flipping! Great for beginners or anyone into pinball or interested in learning more about it!

I wrote in my calendar to drop my glasses off at Through the Hayes but spelled it wrong as Through the Gays and now I think that’s a good store name for a glasses shop/optometrist in the Castro (or Through the Gaze)

reading through old diary entries and had to laugh at this one: "I really dig her, although she lives in Oakland and loves vocal house music..." - wow I was so judgmental in my 20s!

Fog City Flea has opened up in the old Stuff space on Valencia and has a lot of cool local vendors as they do in their Ferry Building location. It's pretty spacious and open so far - not sure if they'll be opening up upstairs as well...
