the brick testament - the worlds foremost lego-based pictorial bible
this is where i took a walk this morning. well, ok this is what it looks like now, but the location is the same. the western neighborhoods of sf (outside lands, if you will) have a lot of things to offer. the sutro baths is one of them.
in 1896, adolph sutro, former sf mayor and famous name-haver, finally opened the doors to this long dreamed-of glass cathedral of leisure. 7 swimming pools, 2 million gallons of water, an 8,000 seat capacity theater, 7 toboggan slides, the list goes on. a mr. thomas edison was very fond of the place and shot a few of his movies of the swimmers zipping down the slides and groups clad in black trunks mashed together for group lessons. after years of struggle with maintenance costs and operation issues, the place finally closed in the 60s, burning down in 1966 during deconstruction.

so this weekend is the folsom street fair here in lovely san francisco (google image search at your own perile - or pleasure - i suppose). they shut down 6 or so blocks of folsom street for a humongous bondage festival. originally, i had wanted to go down and walk around for a little bit just to see whats shaking (wow, poor choice of words there), but lindsay had to go into the studio today and i had to apply for a few jobs, so it didnt work out. we did drive adjacent to it earlier today and while in the car i had 2 distinct thoughts:
its the time for festivals here in sf. i love it
