Park(ing) Day 2011

Hey there San Franciscans! Do you know what day it is today? 

Friday, September 16th? Yup, though that's kind of plain. The third day of the new moon? Well, maybe. Gotta check that lunar calendar. A day to pick up all the cigarette butts around your favorite bus stop? Always. 

Good answers all, but don't miss out on the chance to enjoy your streets on... 

Park(ing) Day 2011!

Do you have any stories to share, pictures from this day? We'd love to see 'em!

rAy's b-day today!

Happy birthday to our lead man Ray! May the coming year be filled with much love, many laughs, great picks...and less trash!!

Up NEXT, Episode Hayes Valley and beyond

On Saturday the 3rd Ray and Dave were joined by April and Moe on a genuinely sunny day in Hayes Valley, the home of the Hayes Valley Farm which, did you know it, is just there for a few more months before its vegetables find other homes....

The day was bright, and the pickers noted a Swirl Index of 6.3 (genuine), which is to say pretty blustery, leaving all kinds of crap (tho Ray prefers the cuter word "poo"--find out why on the podcast) scattered everywhere, but that didn't stop a genuinely fantastic time from being had.

So without further pomp and ado, here's our next episode in the series of genuine conversations about trash, litter and what not...CLICK HERE to HEAR the show, and a special sunburnt appearance by India, sounds of the Cars of Sutter Street, revelations of April's "Pick of the Day", incisive analysis of Andres Torres' hitting woes for the Giants, unique encounters with the people of Hayes Valley, and a special tune by Ray and Joth to ease your listening experience.

OK, so that wasn't all the pomp and ado. But, hey, at least it's all genuine.

chicken & waffles ain't no trash

But there was plenty of both to be had at Sunday Streets!
