There will be some planned downtime starting Wednesday, June 15th at 9am EDT. The board will be closed for approximately 12 to 24 hours while we work on migrating to a new forum software. For more information on the move, check out the Board Change Announcements thread.
Good to "see" you here again Len! Happy New Year to you and the Mrs!
P.S. Just heard that Double Punch in North Beach closed it's doors Another toy store and gallery venue that's evaporated in SF. They had a great window wall with a mural by Mr. Bwana Many fun and interesting shows were put on in the upstairs gallery, sadly no more... Sign of the times of higher rents in the City

Happy New Year to you, too.
That's too bad about Double Punch. I went to a bunch of great shows there.

Oh wow, that is truly sad news. It wasn't too long ago that I popped in for a visit and there was no indication that they were going to close shop. I wouldn't be surprised if it was indeed a case of ye olde San Francisco greedy landlord syndrome. North Beach just got a little more boring.
It's been a long time since I've seen any of the BASK crew in person but just wanted to pop in here to say "howdy!"

Re: Does BASK NOT sleep?
Looking for something to do over the long upcoming weekend? If you have not seen the Coit Tower murals, the news is, the Tower has been rennovated, art work restored, and it's now open to the public again (after being closed for 6 months). Well worth a gander...
The little Aquatic House on the Wharf is also a little jewel! Small, yet filled with treasures, and the murals there are quite nice.
Finally! I've been watching this battle forever. Glad that the "un-washed" masses got their say in court and won back public access to our beautiful beaches!

Re: Does BASK NOT sleep?
Pretty good read. Thanks Grace. Did you ever make it to Brian's home?? I still need a tour.
Whoops! Sorry Bryce No we never had time to meet up to go see the secret toy cave . Brian was very kind to extend the invitation, so maybe one day we can beg for another invite?
Ok, I thought I was dreaming, I heard what I thought were coyote howls in McLaren Park (one of the best kept "secret" parks in SF), and I DEFINITELY did see a gray fox dash in front of me, driving in the park neighborhood at 2am. Boy I was shocked at that one! Pretty cool, and I wonder if the drought is making them range further to find their food sources...
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! It's frigidly cold tonight in the East Bay--too cold to stay late and work. Hovering just above freezing outside, so I better get home to feed the kittees and avoid black ice. My heating bills are going to be expensive this month! Ok, stay warm everyone
