Tenderloin, Civic Center, Union Square

Tenderloin...last bit of pictures from 2009...Chor Boogie's eyes on Market St...possibly part of the Art in Storefronts initiative

While photographing this mural, a local of the neighborhood informed me that this is a depiction of the Flu (maybe the swine flu) depicting from L to R: Flu, Flu Victim, Doctor.

jfjo from t-town...in sf soon

These shots are from NYE in Tulsa. My brother's band, the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, returns to San Francisco this Friday, Feb. 12th. They play at Coda - on Mission St. a block away from Zeitgeist - and other spots on the west coast before heading to Europe again for the month of March to make their debut in beautiful places like Prague and Sardinia, and returning to Berlin, London, Stockholm, Amsterdam, etc.

At the newly re-opened Eclipse where JFJO recorded their first albums, Live at the Lincoln Continental and Live in Tokyo in the mid-90's


Since I'm feeling a bit nostalgic about touring around Europe with the Fred boys, here's some audio/imagery from my 2nd Euro tour with them from Nov. 2006...

January 2010 SF Critical Mass



The rain stopped half an hour before the start of Critical Mass. As the skies cleared, a relatively small group of us gathered together for a rather mellow celebration of rolling through our city on bicycles. Some folks passed out fliers beforehand encouraging positivity in lieu of hostility. The fliers also encouraged riders in the front to stop at red lights so that we can all stick together: a very valid point/issue that we should have addressed many moons ago.
