It'll be opening this year in Uptown (474 24th St).
I saw that article in the Chron, but I am skeptical until it actually happens. Also, parking in that area is a problem, IME.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I realise that I would want to stab other quoters of TPB in the face. Because I want to be able to hear the actors! Just them and my own obsessive muttering, thanks. I mean, apart from laughter and appropriate gasps of horror, naturally.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, you guys. I totally lost my shit in my one-on-one with my boss this morning. I am overwhelmed! What I did not mention is that my special breed of overwhelm leads to total inaction, which of course only exacerbates. AND I know the problem is temporary (due to understaffing), but I guess I'm glad she saw me freak out, although it was totally embarrassing.

Well, I hope the freakout pays off, Jesse. Since you done had it and all. And that your boss gets that shit just happens sometimes. I'd love to have a bit of a meltdown at the office, but instead I keep volunteering for more stuff.

Aw, Jesse.
I wanted to lose my shit with my boss yesterday. But I just glowered at him instead.

Oh yeah, my boss was great about it. A little freaked out, but nice. I am OK now, I guess, and had some good news in my inbox WITH action items, so that's all good.

Glad to hear it didn't have an unpleasant result, Jesse.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Isn't Alamo Drafthouse the place that evicted a patron for having her cellphone on during the show and she called in a complaint that was all over the web?
Alamo Drafthouse programmer Kier-la Janisse also created a documentary based on the Bubblegum Book and showed it there. It can't be released commercially because she didn't/couldn't get clearances to all the tv clips, but it's pretty great (and I've got a copy).

Freakouts can be productive. Mine this past fall finally got my superiors to ease off on the waterfall of new duties I'm not suited for and hire a bunch of freelance help, and now I'm (busily) working on stuff I actually know how to do and am good at.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
