Reader bluecanary sends in the following:
Saturday before last I saw Gavin Newsom. I saw him come into Cafe Grecco in North Beach, wearing a suit and his ubiquitous light blue tie.He sat down and drank a coffee in a DISPOSABLE CUP. And this is the guy that Vanity Fair calls a "green mayor"? I don't think so. He stayed pretty much to himself and everyone left him alone.
Gavin totally does always wear that blue tie! In fact, isn't that the tie he's wearing in that Vanity Fair picture?
And another reader reports:
I didn't see Gavin, but on Friday I saw Willie Brown coming out of a limo parked illegally in the bus zone on 2nd and Folsom. About five minutes later Matt Gonzalez shows up. Matt came by foot at least. Then the limo in the bus zone drives off, only to be replaced immediately by a longer, more ostentatious limo that parked illegally in the same spot. Where's DPT when you need them?!
Keep those mayoral, former-mayoral, and mayoral-aspirant sightings rolling in!


last time i saw willie , he was at the O'Farrell Theater Xmess Party with Wilkes Bashford... he offered his pinky finger to strippers as his "handshake" introduction... then started taking digits, soon after repeatedly calling a blonde dancer friend of mine, claiming he was Godfather of Soul "James Brown" not just Willie Brown...
I heard the messages... it was eerie...
all i know is he doesn't chew gum...
The scandal in Seattle is that our mayor Greg Nickels looks like a fat ass in that photo that and he killed the Seattle Monorail project and is hell bent on building a wastefull pro-car "Big Dig" and we are not so sure that he should get a "Green" award.
