After seeing Mike Relm as he opened for Daara J a couple years ago, I wonder how anyone could support such a F*&$ing horrible DJ. His set produced an incredibly visceral reaction in me, as if he was trying to be as horrible as possible on purpose. If you're into that thing, by all means go ahead. If you actually like that hack, flame away.
If you're Mike Relm, you should duck down.
Your entry for Palahniuk's (which you mispelled) reading is confusing. It's sponsored/presented by Booksmith but will take place at the Park Branch Library (1833 Page St.) in San Francisco. So, don't go to the bookstore for the reading..
and half of these links don't even work, so why bother? what happened to the sfist i once knew that actual seemed to pay attention to what they posted and actually posted news the day it happened? you guys have become slow, sloppy & whereas you were once incredibly funny, now a lot of your political stuff just comes off as biased.
Links and facts have been updated, so now there's no more reason to reminisce.
