Good afternoon!
The countercultural clubhouse that housed Pirate Cat, Mutiny Radio, and open mic comedy nights has closed after 18 years. Was a lack of money, dwindling audiences, or plain old ingratitude to blame? Read the eulogies for a time of “authenticity and dirtbags,” and a venue where “you could do anything.”
We continue our Meet the Candidates series with a question for supervisorial candidates in District 3 about Prop F, which would require mandatory treatment for recipients of public assistance found to be using drugs. Answers: yes, yes, yes-but, no, and “not convinced”โsee where they fall.
Here’s the story of Dumpling Story, soon to open on Valencia, and the man who’s been working in SF restaurants since he was a teenager. Try the Xiaolongbao.
More soon,
Sara
