This May be a B.A.D. Idea

Greg's already put it better than we could, but in case you haven't heard, District-Eight Supe candidate Alix Rosenthal is throwing a party this weekend that may or may not reflect well upon her. The event is entitled "Get in B.E.D. with Alix," (the B.E.D. stands for, um, actually, nothing at all) and it's described as "Burning Man meets Cirque du Soleil," with "art ... tarot readings ... fire dancing." All of which sounds very nice, if that's your scene, but it doesn't really evoke Board-of-Supervisorial imagery.

To be fair, the invite also promises that there'll be opportunities to learn about "expanding affordable housing, protecting tenant rights, realistically putting transit first, enhancing environmental protection and conservation, and preserving SF's 'unique' character." (Why the quotes around unique? Is that supposed to be a polite euphemism for retarded?) The context might be a little foofy, but at least serious business is on the agenda. Will there be specifics, or just more of the vague, detail-free, progressiveish soundbites offered by Alix's website? There's only one way to find out: the party runs from 8pm to midnight, Saturday, August 5, at the Love Manor (good grief) at 451 Burnett Ave.
