Beautiful San Francisco on a beautiful afternoon. Beautiful cafe. Beautiful old movie theater. Beautiful hotel lobby. Too bad that beautiful old movie theater is playing such shitty movies.

What? What's that? Could it be? No, no , no, it's the invasion of the dreaded flip flops! Nooooo, it's the end of beauty and civilization!

That beautiful movie theater housing shitty movies is kind of a metaphor for San Francisco, which I always think would be absolutely delightful, if only the population of Minneapolis-St. Paul lived there instead of the people who do.

Did you swing by the party in Fatty Arbuckle's suite later?

to paraphrase MEAN GIRLS (of all films), "stop trying to make GALUMPH happen!" also... jeff is aware that -according to every online source i could scrounge up - "galumph" is exclusively a verb? this has been brought to his attention, right?

anyhoo, lovely pictures... been meaning to take a trip back out to san francisco.

I've just done a 180. I never focused on him wearing flip-flops. Total douchebag. And he gets the girl? Fuck that movie. Seriously. I got enough of that shit at JMU.

"GALUMPH FEET"???? Jeff this is getting out of hand, I remember last year you posted about seeing a bunch of "Seth Rogen Types" at a movie theater and being disgusted. Are you that shallow? Jason Segel's an amazing actor, check out his work on "UNDECLARED" I never doubted his day would come. But seriously, are you that keen on alienating half of hollywood with the constant attacks on actors who don't fit the traditional and "cookie cut" mold of what's considered attractive. Were you just pissed when you walked out of "THE GRADUATE" back in the 60's after seeing the lead role being played by a "Dustin Hoffman type" and not say...Robert Redford. I read your site everyday but this is really getting annoying. I can handle the politics postings, but you have to cut this shit out. I'm sorry to say but your no oil painting yourself. I've seen recent pics of you and you look nothing like the picture of you in the heading. Your like a dishonest girl on myspace with the one good picture of her from years ago when she was skinny.

Mgmax: Screw you. I've lived in SF for 17 years. I've been to Minny/St Paul, and prefer the people here. Not to mention the winters. And you live where?

BTW that "beautiful old movie theater" is a one-time single-screen neighborhood house that has been carved up into itty bitty auditoriums in an attempt to compete with the megaplexes downtown.

Some of them do, Mgmax. You bet.

As for San Franciscans, the only natives I ever meet are Chinese-Americans and working-class Irish Catholics from The Sunset. Classic salt-of-the-earth types, you big snob. And they usually aren't rude, sarcastic bastards like Chicagoans.

Wells: That's Fairmont, not FairMOUNT. Maybe you're just feeling randy.

Oh, and Nemo -- I saw Raging Bull at the Castro last Wednesday. The Balboa is playing The Band's Visit and Persepolis. The good ones are vanishing, but all is not lost.

Not yet, anyway.

Jeez, for a minute I was wondering what it took to get people to take obvious bait around here! But hey, we flyoverians have to stand up for our bedrock values once in a while, in the face of the rampant coastal prejudice that is normal on this blog.

By the way, I went to a huge Cabela's out in the burbs yesterday. All I can say is, Barack, you need to come check this out if you think it's people with no money who go huntin'.

Translation : you can do other guys in public bathroom stalls. Just not in the confines of your own home.

That would be gross!

Everyone knows people from San Francisco drive hybrid cars, talk with thier eyes closed, and sniff their own farts. My votes for St Paul!

All decent people with living souls and appropriately-shod feet know that San Franciscans are drug-addled crystal worshippers living in rent-controlled apartments who have to step over homeless people who have soiled themselves in order to get to their dot-com jobs where they play foosball instead of working all day and drink herbal teas while calculating how to move their stock options offshore to avoid the punitive 150% taxes of the socialist economy they live in.

At least that's what the fellers at the Gas-N-Git on Highway 99 near Altoona tol' me.

I really can't believe Jeff can stand living in LA with his hatred for flip-flops, since you'll see more there than just about any city in the country.

Plenty of flip-flop wearers here in the beautiful Pacific NW. And here they wear them in the cold and wet weather. Bet there are a few that wear flannel shirts and flip-flops!
