Inner City Skiing

Today San Francisco is holding a massive ski jump on Fillmore Street. Very awesome, as it's over 70 degrees out and there hasn't been snow in this town since the Ice Age.

But I have to question the timing. A Thursday afternoon? About 1/10 the people who'd like to go can actually make it to this thing due to an unfortunate condition called "work." This was done to kowtow to rich neighbors who don't want their driveways blocked off. The whole event was supposed to be in August, but was pushed back because some friends of the mayor were getting married nearby.

This is a rare instance of San Francisco being lame. Next year, put this puppy on the weekend so the rest of us can go see. (Although the event is also being televised on MTV!)
