Political Junkie: Dunk Tank!
We're begging for your help here, readers -- begging! Can someone with a digital camera PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go to this event and send us your pictures of Chris Daly getting thrown into a swimming pool? We'll throw in some SFist swag if you do! We'd go ourselves, but admission is $125 (and we don't have a digital camera anyways).
The Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Center is sponsoring their 16th Annual Celebrity Pool Toss this Tuesday (tomorrow the 17th) from 6-10 p.m., where brave local celebrities volunteer to be tossed into the swimming pool at the Phoenix Hotel, and all the money goes to the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Center's after-school programs. If you've got $125 to give, buy your tickets here.
Other people who've volunteered to get thrown into the pool this year include the senior VP of the Giants, the editor-in-chief of San Francisco Magazine, and the executive director of the SF Film Society -- but, dude! CHRIS DALY GETTING THROWN INTO A SWIMMING POOL!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! We're so excited!!!
Picture from last year's event, of Supervisor (and current State Assembly candidate) Fiona Ma post-toss -- by none other than Drew Altizer.


Word is, that some special CIA "party dudes" will be there not only to toss Chris Daly in the pool, but to demonstrate waterboarding with him!
