Weekend in Review

Busy weekend for the tentacles. It started with a contingent attending the NCPC meeting for 10X(police's designation for our neighborhood). Some highlights include the police priorities on prostitution and drug dealing, crackdown on cyclists, and recent wave of incidents on 62nd Street. It was good meeting the old timers and other neighbors committed to improving our neighborhood.

On Friday night the house hung out at the Van Kleef and then moved to Lanesplitter in celebration of Bussolini's turning the page and moving on to greener pastures. Not very good selection of beers at the Kleef, but the service is great, especially the free lasagna. At the Lane the pizzas didn't disappoint. Big up!! Also looking forward to reading b2's blurbs on the SF Guardian.

Saturday night several tentacles were deployed in Alameda to cover Loose Threads' premier in the Bay Area. The art/music/fashion show, dubbed What You See Galore!, was awesome and well attended. It inspired us to put on a show of our own. Will definitely return to this topic.

On Sunday, we took the opportunity of the glorious day to implement another activity in our ongoing 'reclaim our street' initiative. We hosted a bbq in our front yard and invited many of our neighbors. We started with the neighborhood kids raiding our guacamole and ended up late night downing Tecates with the Belgians. Great day! Great weekend.
