Sexual outlaws and neighborhood invaders, beware! We're back with the story of Hole in the Wall Saloon and its proposed 1.5-block relocation in the lovely SOMA neighborhood.
You thought this was over? You thought wrong! Jakkee Bryson, neighborhood activist, is back in action and scheduled to appear before the Board of Appeals this evening (Wednesday, April 7) at 5PM. Location is the same as before: City Hall, room 416. Come out and show your support for or against this issue.
Ms. Bryson respectfully denied an interview with SFist. However, we were able to reach Supervisor Bevan Dufty (bless his heart), who advised that he "[plans] to look into this clear abuse of process when someone can appeal a unanimous decision without any new information."
Hold up! Ms. Bryson claims to have new evidence and is inviting the Board of Appeals members out for a "glamorous limp" of her SOMA neighborhood. Details after the jump.
In case you can't read her handwriting (she really should consider a career doing CAPTCHA), the text of her appeal to the appeal have been translated here for your convenience:

Re: Rehearing Request for Appeal #'s AboveOn the grounds of:
1) new evidence, and;
2) manifest injustice - -
the case(s) need(s) to be reopened.I respectfully invite members of the Board (no more than two-at-a-time per State Law requirements) to contcat me to "g-limp" (glamorous limp) the neighborhood and clear up the confusion surrounding negative impact for the "new complexion of the neighborhood" for the proposed 1369 Folsom St. site. I'll be more detailed at/during my oral presentation at/during the 7 May 2008 hearing.
Jakkee Bryson, appellant
G-limpin' and pimpin', baby.

I had no idea that California had State Laws regarding glamorous limps.
Having lived in the neighborhood much longer than Jakkee, I consider her the invader. There's definitely a negative impact in the 'hood, but I doubt Jakkee would be able to recognize it.
FYI: Delusional disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis denoting a psychotic mental illness that involves holding one or more non-bizarre delusions in the absence of any other significant psychopathology (signs or symptoms of mental illness). In particular, a person with delusional disorder has never met any other criteria for schizophrenia and does not have any marked hallucinations, although tactile (touch) or olfactory (smell) hallucinations may be present if they are related to the theme of the delusion.
I've had a couple of hallucinations at Hole in the Wall.
It's a fun place!
It is fun for the whole family!
They play awesome music!!
And they have lots of chalk so you can write on the floors.
while I would not consider myself a hole in the wall supporter, it is difficult to see how moving an existing business 1.5 blocks has a material impact on the neighborhood.
She had plenty of time to present evidence on how the move would impact the neighborhood PRIOR to the unanimous decision. She should have scheduled the G-Limp then. This is not "new" evidence, this is simply evidence she failed to present when she had the chance. There is a difference.
This woman has got to be stopped. It is outrageous that someone like her can still appeal after a unanimous decision. I hope that Bevan Dufty does in fact look into this.
What a fucking pain the ass she is...
although it's in chris daly's hood, so i'm not sure how much of an impact dufty will have. anyone with more city hall prowess care to comment?
Jackee is a menace.
i also contacted Daly. no reply. :(
too bad we can't lose her to meth
Obviously KRON is behind the whole thing. They've just kind of gone downhill since they lost their affiliation. Sad, really.
Maybe it is because I live on the East Coast (or midwest, depending on where you feel Pittsburgh should be considered), but I have never heard the terms "glamourous limp" or "g-limp" before in my life. And I think I am happy about that.
Anyway, I hope Hole in the Wall is up and running when I come out to SF for my third glorious visit this fall.
i've never heard the term either. The more you know!
I wonder what she'll actually do tonight:
1. Hide in her subsidized SOMA apartment and fax in a continuance request?
2. Show up and request a continuance request, claiming that HITW presented new evidence that she hasn't had time to review?
3. Actually state her objections in a clear and coherent manner?
She's done the 1-2 dance every time, so I am wondering if she's capable making it to number 3.
Perhaps we should call the Board of Appeals to see if she's faxed in a continuance request, but that probably won't happen until 4:59PM anyway.
i'm going to need that hat.
She showed up.
The new evidence and manifest injustice were comments made by Bevan Dufty in this Bay Area Reporter article. She felt the Board of Appeals may have been pressured due to remarks the report attributed to Bevan Dufty.
I can't imagine why she thought questioning the integrity of the commissioners was a winning strategy. Her request was denied, again, unanimously, again.
While we were outside talking with one of the bar owners, Bryson wheeled on by and said "SEE YOU IN SUPERIOR COURT!" Uh, whatever, lady.
Next show will be the ABC's license transfer hearing, whenever that takes place is anyone's guess.
