Things That Only Happen in San Francisco

Broke-Ass Stuart brings us a couple of amusing takes on San Francisco city life.

Things are a little different over here in Marin!

This one contains an interesting pro-tip at the end for Burners who don’t want to spend 8 hours in the sun at Will Crawl (or 90 minutes at their keyboards in Ticket Hell):

Before you race to spend twenty bucks, you should be aware that Buzzfeed said Burners using TaskRabbit is “rejecting everything the Playa stands for”

The Kinda Late Show with Broke-Ass Stuart is a new monthly live show with a San Francisco slant.

BAS_BookAd_v1.1The Kinda Late Show with Broke-Ass Stuart is a live “late night” style show with a distinctive San Francisco slant.

There are unbelievable live performances, famous musicians, titilating interviews, and hilarious video sketches. Plus there will be Broke-Ass Stuart in a suit, behind a desk, talking shit as usual.

Guest have included:
Kari Byron (MythBusters)
Veronica Belmont (Tekzilla, Sword and Lazer)
Boots Riley (The Coup, Street Sweeper Social Club)
Josh Constine (Tech Crunch)
Gabi Moskowitz (BrokeAss Gourmet)
and many more.

You have never seen a late night show as weird and wonderful as this.

The last show sold out. As with Burning Man…get a ticket if you can find one. Or get in line.

Basic Burning Man Bitch

The Bold Italic has a hilarious look at the “Basic Bitches of the Bay“.

Although San Francisco in and of itself is a vibrant and unique city that fosters eccentricity, you will still see those who fall prey to the growing contagion of the Basic Bay Bitch. Without necessarily being bitchy, basic bitches embody the standard, typical nugget of certain SF subcultures. They can come in any age, gender, or race. You recognize them from a distance; and you also recognize yourself in them. So without any further ado, here are some of our most basic bitches:

One in particular looks very familiar!

Mike Judge on Burning Man, Tech Culture

This segment from CNN Money is worth the 3 minutes or so of your time.

Mike Judge created the satirical show Silicon Valley, as well as Beavis and Butthead and Idiocracy. He says that people in Silicon Valley don’t quite know how to enjoy themselves…hmmmm. He hadn’t been to Burning Man when he launched his new show. Billionaire Burner Elon Musk invited him, saying at the after party “it’s like the best party in LA times a thousand”:

"How Much is Elon Musk Like Iron Man?", asked Modern Luxury

“How Much is Elon Like Iron Man?” (Modern Luxury)

“I really feel like Mike Judge has never been to Burning Man, which is Silicon Valley. If you haven’t been, you just don’t get it. You could take the craziest L.A. party and multiply it by a thousand, and it doesn’t even get fucking close to what’s in Silicon Valley. The show didn’t have any of that.”

Larry Harvey shared his opinion with Techcrunch:

“You can make a lot of money and do good with it. Elon Musk has made a lot of money.”

Later episodes in Silicon Valley’s first season showed a Burning Man poster in the coder house where the main characters live and work.

Anybody know if Mike Judge made it out to Burning Man in 2014?
