Are you sick of hearing about how awesome Sunday Streets was? I sure am, after being hungover and stuck in a car for a 2-hour drive to Salinas during the actual event. In any case, Postcards from SF posted a short video showing some highlights.
Mission yo-yo genius Doctor Popular is featured prominently, performing music on his iPhone (hope he’s holding it right) alongside cellist/songwriter Unwoman. There’s also a little girl exploiting her adorableness to shill lemonade. I’m going to guess it was made from concentrate, but can anyone confirm? Please give a full review if so.
That lemonade girl is adorable! “Location is everything, we were trying to sell in front of our house… we made one sale.”
BTW, Unwoman and I will be doing a show live on Ustream this friday night with my friend Crashfaster. Unwoman will do her cello/electronic set at 7, then I’ll do my iPhone set 8, followed by Crashfaster making chiptunes. http://www.docpop.org/2010/07/docpop-unwoman-crashfaster-live-on-ustream/
SNO-CONES!?!?!?! Stupid World Cup… you made me miss Sno-Cones. Arrrgh!
Sometimes, briefly, I wish I lived in SF… but then I try to park and the feeling dissipates (though admittedly, I shouldn’t have a parking problem if I actually lived within the city limits). Still, the quality of local events makes me wish I spent more time there.
Now I will endeavor to get my home internet re-setup in time for Friday night.
Ankhst = one of the best parts of living in a great city (and often missed) is that you don’t need to spend so much time in a car, but rather can be out connecting with people. That is actually what Sunday Streets is all about!
