Skateboarding is a Crime

I bought a skateboard recently to make my walk to work quicker. About a week later, a coworker warned me that skateboarding might not be allowed! What?! Turns out, skateboarding IS a Crime in San Francisco - on sidewalks in business districts during work hours, at night, and anytime on roads. Seems like people are determined to stop skateboarders in this city - most buildings have anti-grinding measures installed on grind-able surfaces. A neat implementation of this is on Embarcadero where sculpted metal sea creatures ‘hang out’ on conrcrete ledges (and purposely conveniently, hinder grinding) On another note, a curious side effect of this legislation is that Segways aren’t allowed either. Ha ha! Not as if anyone bought one anyway.

THE ROCKINEST PIANO PLAYER

DJ Lebowitz is … “THE ROCKINEST PIANO PLAYER IN THE WORLD” - Well, I’m not so sure about that, but he MAY have the most hideous website in the world! Actually, he throws down some good tunes on the piano at the Rincon Center food court in SF on Fridays at lunch. I was quite entertained by his rendition of ‘Cum on Feel the Noize’ by Quiet Riot. Though fortunately I didn’t get a chance to catch his “not so euphonious vocals” that he is “known across North America” for.
