We never really got Steve Martin. We have nothing against the noted comedian, but, like most male funny men of his ilk (Bill Murray, et al.), we never grasped his brand of humor. He's the Liza Minnelli for intelligent funny people of a certain age in that his fans never seem to tire of him and cannot resist rooting for the guy. Which we mean in the nicest way possible. And with that, here are a barrage of his tweets regarding bucolic Pleasanton. Behold:
The paparazzi in Pleasanton is driving me crazy. There are NONE here.

Just about to turn noon in Pleasanton and so far, two armed robberies, one garbage truck mishap, and two births of devil’s spawn.

Errant killer robot just lasered innocent cornfield.

Turns out I was in “evil” Pleasanton. There is also “good” Pleasanton, where “evil” Pleasanton goes to shop for gifts and things.

Last night we got 3000 standing ovations! One at a time, as audience left mid-show. Ha! A joke. Thanks to Livermore, Ca for a great evening.

Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers appeared at at Wente Winery this week in nearby Livermore, hence his bit about a city named after a final BART stop.
