Has anyone been to the DeYoung since it reopened? I keep meaning to do that but have not gone to the effort. If you have been, how is it?

it reopened? when was it closed? I've been twice in the last year. that have some cool stuff.

[bballarl]

I am pretty sure it was under construction for awhile and reopened in 06 or 07. I could be confused though.

[fiyahhh!]

Has anyone been to the new Academy of Sciences in GG Park? I kinda want to wait a couple of months in hopes that the crowds will die down a little bit.

[SFChrissy]

I'm doing SF @ Thanksgiving.

Yayyy where you going???

Yes it's gorgeous...I'm surprised you haven't been there yet it's been reopened for a few years now...they did a total demolition of the old building and rebuilt a whole new structure...the top floor is a viewing room of the city...absolute perfect birds eye view of teh city!!!

No but my friend has a membership and says it's really nice. The seating has changed in the planetarium exhibit.

[BlackSwan]

I am moving and no longer what neighborhood I am repping... according to wikipedia it is the Lake District.

[real talk]

I did not know we had a lake.


Oh, I see. That's like the wayyyy outer Richmond. Quiet out there.

[BlackSwan]

There maybe no lakes... but there is definitely a Lake Street.

[SFChrissy]

I love the buildings on that street, my cousin lives on 6th & Lake ( I think)...it's a little to poshy le posh for me...

Lower Haight what up

I lived in the Lower Haight the first time I was out there, and in the Mission on Bryant the second.

APE is one of the country’s largest gatherings of the best in indie comics, offering a venue for exhibitors ranging from self-publishers of minicomics to such large publishers as SLG Publishing, Fantagraphics, Drawn and Quarterly, Oni Press, Top Shelf, and many more. It offers a huge collection of some of the best indie and alternative comics material out there: graphic novels, ’zines, art books, prints, original art, and comics of every size and shape. You can’t walk through the giant APE Exhibit Hall and not be inspired to either open your wallet and buy cool stuff or go home and hunker down and create some of your own. It’s that kind of show.

[shakermaker113]

Fillmore.

hmm. you and I live within walking distance, apparently.

Cool. I'm going to be north for the weekend but 10 bucks isn't a bad deal. Unless it's as crowded as Penny Arcade in Seattle was, it looks similar from the pictures. Penny Arcade was so crowded and the air smelled like Taco Bell.

Every single person that makes eye contact with you on the bus COULD be me.

[PotVsKtl]

Nerds.

[bug on your lip]

we call it Frisco

[real talk]

Go ahead rep your neighborhood, Pot.

we call it Frisco

That's supposed to bother people but it doesn't really bother me. Maybe because I'm not native and because they say it in songs that I like.

[PotVsKtl]

Hiding from my friends in the bathroom at

to write this tune down.

[real talk]

It just doesn't stop.

[Hannahrain]

On a piss-stained Frisco truck, no less.

we have had a few arguments about that here...

[SFChrissy]

that was a total dislexic moment...
I was born 'n raised here so I'm totally for here...my roots run the deepest here!!!

I'm going to start asking people on the bus if they draw mspaint pictures online.

[BlackSwan]

or you could just look for someone who seems to be making creepy deliberate eye contact with people.

[shakermaker113]

dude that could be so many people in this city.
