Thanks, Ryan!

A very short play about Silicon Valley or whatever

It’s like that HBO show about Silicon Valley but much shorter and a little darker:

Now please enjoy this list of other mayhem by Ryan Christopher Parks…

All the dudes I ran into at Telegraph Beer Garden in Oakland after the Warriors parade on Friday

Usually when I do these lists it’s because I ran into 10+ people at some event in the Mission, but I figured 5 dudes was pretty damn good being that I was in Oakland. The Warriors parade was heaps of fun, and waiting out the BART shitshow at Telegraph for a few hours was really fun too. Here are all the dudes I saw:

  • Ryan Christopher Parks, internet genius and local rock musician and bartender at Telegraph
  • Luke Spray, co-host of Roll Over Easy (the best SF-themed radio show in SF)
  • Tyler Davin-Moore, former Crispin Cider rep and current Oskar Blues rep and eternal hard partier
  • Jordan Miller, manager of the lanes at Mission Bowling Club and eternal hard partier
  • Brian Brophy a.k.a. The Tens, Bay Area-based street photographer

We did lots of shots. (And the frozen greyhounds were good too.) (See you next season, gents!)
