From today’s Zeitgeist newsletter, titled “No Bathroom Reservations”:
Welcome to our NEW bathrooms! Buh Bye Porta Johns, Hello Restrooms! Located in the backyard to the right, both mens and womens and ADA approved.
Upcoming events:
Friday August 12th: No Reservations taping.
Anthony Bourdain samples good drinks and eats.
This might seem at odds with the news reported by Eater this week that Bourdain is about to embark on a new show called The Layover in which he does a city in 24 (or 48) hours [link]. So either Zeitgeist got facts wrong and they’ll actually be shooting the new show, or they’re doing yet another SF episode of the old show.
Anyway, here’s hoping he brings Bill Murray along again too:
(Thanks, Amy!)
Um, no photos.
Yeah, that’s gonna be one tough taping after the camera guys get thrown out.
Zeitgeist has a newsletter? That is the dumbest shit I’ve heard all day.

What next, will you have to wear a tie to get into Zeitgeist?
Wait, why aren’t all the Missioner-than-thou types raking on this for being so commercial? Oh, ’cause it’s a ‘foodie’. I get it now…
Anthony Bourdain is way more punk rock than Zeitgeist. And he’s hot.
What a superficial bunch.
Bourdain is the awkward old dude who tries to look hip by doing the things he thought were hip 40 years earlier, like wear leather jackets and earrings. This dude is as punk rock as blinkwhatevernumber. And hot? I guess, if you’re into wrinkly douche bags.
Yeah, you’re right. Leather jackets and earrings are lame and there are so few of them seen at Zeitgeist anymore. I wonder… is that because the place is so punk rock? Or is it because most of the people who go there these days are douchey yuppies in button-down shirts and sweaters vests having a drink on the other side of the tracks after a long day at clerking at the firm. Blinkwhaternumber is in heavy rotation in the ZG beer garden this summer. And have you seen the bartenders at that place? Talk about old.
… and DoucheTony is the disaffected teenager, hanging out across the street from the high school at lunchtime, bumming cigarettes off his friends and adopting their best sullen smirk while they make snarky comments among themselves about “preppies” and “posers” and anyone who doesn’t dress and wear their hair exactly like him and all the other nonconformists.
And exactly how “punk rock” is it to be arguing about what is and is not punk rock on Internet message boards, anyway? (Personally, I’m not “punk rock,” never have been “punk rock,” and really don’t give a shit who’s more “punk rock” than who else.)
because he’s a frickin’ silver fox.
what she said. does anyone know what time they are filming?

Wait, this isn’t a joke?
Can a place jump the shark twice?
I say we get about a million water balloons and bombard them over the back fence during taping.
To whom it may concern:
I am an old college aquaintance of Antony. I want to get touch with him. I have a movie script that he could flogg for me. He would like it I am sure. I am off to Peru but he can use my e-mail adress to tell me where to send the script.

Dude, you are SO barking up the wrong tree.
