Dear Indiana (and Tennessee):
The weather here today was 77 degrees and will continue to be nice (in the 70s and above) all through Thanksgiving. Take that! I hear it is like 40 with tornados, rain and hail over there…bet you wish you were here in San Francisco now!
Love, Chris
PS…
Well, the PME has come and gone. I had a lot of scotch and at the same time got a chance to meet the who’s who of the podcasting world. Everyone from Libsyn, to the guys at AMP, most of my favorite podcasters, The Podcast Pickle, and as the photo shows…Dawn and Drew.
I must have been having entirely too much fun because I forgot to take a lot of photos, but I did take some. You can see them here.

I couldn’t believe it…when Amy was here last we were wondering through the Safeway here in SF (on Townsend and 4th I think) and they had a DVD machine. The best part was, you swipe your card and for only $1.49 it would spit movies out! If I remember correctly it only had about 30 movies to select from for $1.49 each. You get the movie for 24 hours, and its $1.00 for each additional day.
Needless to say, we rented a handfull of movies and did not have to pay the $10+ per person to go to the movies. With the swipe of a credit card, no memberships required, we had an evenings worth of entertainment that only required me to walk by the grocery store the next day (by midnight) and push the dvd cases back into the machine.

“Kelly Dobson created ScreamBody. It is the first of the series of Wearable Body Organs. ScreamBody is a portable space for screaming. When a user needs to scream but is in any number of situations where it is just not permitted, ScreamBody silences the user’s screams so they may feel free to vocalize without fear of environmental retaliation, and at the same time records the scream for later release where, when, and how the user chooses.”

Thank you for being there. You make Carls Jr. accessible to many people.
Sincerely,

PS > If you are reading my letter above and you are not the B.B.G. mentioned in the title (and there is a pretty good chance that you aren’t) then let me explain. Carls Jr (Hardees to all you punks back in the midwest, or with really awful cities) next to the Powell Street cable car turn around here in San Francisco has a security guard. For one reason or another a bunch of transients, drug dealers and other crippled and or thug looking folks hang out near the entrance. I now feel comfortable entering, exiting and eating inside the restaurant. Prior to my last visit, the food was sloppy, gross and I think it made us all sick (chris rockwell and cc chapman… would you agree?). But this new location has kicked up to a whole new level providing hot, fresh and personally prepared sandwiches with the added protection of a man wearing a SECURITY tshirt with crossed arms who isnt afraid to stare a $2 hooker in her crazy eye (anyone can look in the regular eye).
Anyway, I just wanted to publically (all 4 of you loyal readers) thank the B.B.G from the Carls Jr and let him know that he is making a difference.
