Because of You – March for Equality in San Francisco

This documentary is so beautiful I can watch it over and over and over. Can’t wait to check out the rest of Daniel Aragay’s YouTube Channel.

And I can’t wait until June, when hopefully marriage equality will be the law of the land.

I also made a fun video of the same event, not nearly as polished and professional, titled “Gay Marriage Equality Rights March San Francisco California!” It’s about 5 minutes long all in one take, from the balcony of my luxury Viking Hotel, dashing down the stairs and out into the march. — pjsf

Trolling The Castro :: Thursday Report 4-18-13

Gym Class @ Hi-Tops Every Thursday

Ethan Elliot and John ? were the whiskey shot boys at “Gym Class”. Free whiskey shots poured by hot studs like these, in nothing but socks and jocks. Thursdays at Hi-Tops, the new sports bar in the castro.4-18-13 Pan Dulce sd4000is 004

I was on my way to a photo assignment at Pan Dulce just up the road, but I had seen on facebook that these two would be tonight’s celbrity whiskey boys. 4-18-13 Pan Dulce sd4000is 003

So I just had to pop in and see if I could grab a, umm, shot or two or three to share with you, my devoted followers.

I spotted Joshua J. Cook in the house. I’ve had tons of fun at his events, especially Mahogany Mondays, and Sausage Fest.

Have you noticed all of the construction projects all along Market Street these days? Just right across the street from Hi-Tops, on the corner next to Beck’s Motor Lodge, I spotted this mural at one of these projects.

Hmmm, what is the meaning of this? A fat old guy in a g-string, is that a bulge I see there? Are those birkenstocks on his feet? A grandaddy cupid with the wings, and bow and arrow poised. “Kold Hearted Youth” is the title.  This guy reminds me of some of the old naked guys at Jane Warner Plaza. They have to cover it up now. But just barely…

This looks like a sleeping ghost. Or a smoking ghost.

I’m wondering how long this gas station will last, they seem to be disappearing, replaced by these big developments. Notice the other relic, the telephone booth. This must be the only one for miles, it’s at Castro and Market.

Thanks for indulging me on my photo adventure, please do stay tuned for the feature album from my assignent at Pan Dulce. It will be in the nightlife section of EdgeSanFrancisco.com. — pjsf

Finally Switched From AT&T To Sonic.net

4-18-13 Speed Test 003 crp

Should Have Done This Long Ago

OMG I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to switch from AT&T to Sonic.net. The speed difference is like night and day, and it’s more than $20 a month cheaper (I have just phone and internet). By the way, with Sonic I have nationwide unlimited long distance, where the old dinosaur charged by the meter, or extra for an unlimited plan.

No Contract

Plus there’s no annoying two year ball and chain contract, it’s month to month!  No more kvetching when I see the greedy behemoth giving new customers half off but not giving me the same deal.

A Small Local Company in Santa Rosa, CA

No more annoying waits just to talk to someone in some strange land, having to repeat five times what I need. No more pushy sales techs trying to upsell me on a customer assistance package, when I should be getting great service without having to pay extra.

The same pushy sales guy from AT&T also tried to bum rush me into purchasing their $90 modem. When I refused to commit on the spot, he insisted on checking up with me, and then called me (my answering machine) every day, sometimes twice a day, for the next week.

Simple And Easy

Meanwhile, I went straight to Sonic.net’s easy to understand customer friendly website where I found that the modem is included in the monthly bill, and is replaced immediately if needed. They mailed me mine right away, and it was easy to set up.

No more constantly changing plans and packages meant to confuse us simple minded and too busy for b.s. people.  There’s just one basic plan for everyone: super fast and super cheap. Unlimited everything!

If You’re Fed Up

Folks, it’s just under $60 a month. Super fast internet with wi-fi, and nationwide unlimited talk and data!!!!!!!

I’m just so relieved to get away from AT&T, I may be tooting this horn prematurely. The half dozen friends I know who have it are super happy, and so am I.  I’ll post an update in two to six months just to let you know if the joy is lasting. Meanwhile, if your fed up with your current provider, give Sonic.net some serious consideration.

Getting To The Point

So, I guess the point of this whole rant, in a long, beat around the bush kind of way, is that now I can focus on posting juicy hot pictures and content instead of wrestling with a slower than molasses in January connection!  Thanks for sticking with me during this time of darkness. I hope to be posting at least once a day.

Disclosure

Folks, I am not an affiliate seller for Sonic.net, so I’m not getting commissions for referrals. I’m just a happy camper.
