What it Means to Grow Up

There's no need to maintain the old version of the status quo: Pffft, what a weak article — status quo snooze fest ["Holding Pattern," Emilie Mutert, feature, 11/12]. This skateboarding man was four years into his career in 2008 when everyone's investments evaporated. My brother lost his job and wasn't able to get back on his feet for four or five years. The "impending huge population of older people" handed the young a broken system. They'll just have to understand when some of us are not buying in and taking on further mountains of debt to maintain the status quo.

Bike path can't come soon enough for some: I had a friend who had a bicycling-tourist friend visiting from Germany ["Hey Cyclists: A Bike Path on the Entire Bay Bridge Is Happening," Pete Kane, the Snitch, 11/13]. The guy rode from the San Francisco side to Berkeley, arriving about 4 a.m. He was asked how he got from there to Berkeley. He said that bridge with the tunnel! He was then told bicyclists aren't allowed! He said good, those expansion joints were horrible!

Ghost buses continue to make their rounds: Buses with their GPS off can be annoying, but when I think ghost bus I think the 23 on Sloat where someone will be waiting at the stop watching the NextMuni countdown steadily decrease when with only a few minutes left to wait, poof ["This Is Why NextMuni Predictions Are Always Screwing You Over," Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez, the Snitch, 11/11]! That bus doesn't exist anymore. Spooky.

Gorillas mourn the death of Kabibe: Heartbreaking ["San Francisco Apes Mourn Tragic Death of Baby Gorilla," Erin Sherbert, the Snitch, 11/11]! I remember when that baby was born. So adorable. I just don't understand how this could have happened.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
