β€˜How Could You Be Against Joy?’: Bay Area Artists Are Turning on the Civic Joy Fund A private initiative founded by the mayor and backed by a crypto billionaire is increasingly shaping San Francisco’s arts scene. Musicians are asking questions β€” and some are calling for a boycott.

two photos of a man in a pink t-shirt holding something in his hands.  The photo on the left shows him standing in front of a gated business called Lee's Launderette holding a framed Polaroid print.  The photo on the right he is standing in front of the entrance to Free Gold Watch, the pinball arcade and is holding a First Place pin-golf trophy.  He is smiling more in the photo on the right.

I had a good Sunday yesterday! Dropped off art for a #Polaroid show opening on Friday at the new Lee's Launderette gallery and then went to play in a charity #Pinball tournament which I won! Got to flip with friends and donated the prize money I won back to the charity!

There's a Waymo depot near me and as I rode by I snapped a shot on my film camera. got the scans back today. I like that you can see that piece of art that was at Burning Man in the background too

I am sure everyone has fond memories of this and that band here. I remember when I was friends with someone more in the music scene here and saw bands like Interpol and Death Cab for Cutie but my faves were Creeper Lagoon!
