I'm going to this, first time. Got some good artists showing up. Might go to Wondercon as well, we'll see.

or "Frisco".
And it won't be weird if you say "Hella", unless you're outside of the Norcal or in Santa Cruz.
I would love to make a trip down for Wondercon. Fucking stupid Anacrime
My NYC relatives make fun of me every time I let a "hella" slip out. Now I just say it all the time when I see them.
I sure hope so. There was some scheduling stuff that kept it from being in SF this year, hopefully it will be back next year.
I just like saying Anacrime.

I always say "hella" no matter what. And I don't care as when talking with friends from NY, they still say it despite being NorCal transplants for over 5 years lol. It's even funnier when talking with SoCal friends and they say it too unintentionally. That I make fun of them for.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
I hear it quite a bit down in SoCal, not just from the transplants from NorCal either.

Don't say "hella". Please.
Or "gnarly," "stoked," or "rad". Although, this might just be Santa Cruz talk.

Thanks again to all of you for your advice. I looked at some of the places in Berkeley on the real estate sites, and most are more than I'm willing to pay right now, but I'm sure many more will become available. It's not like I was planning on moving immediately, even if I do go through with it. I've just got to get out of the Southeast someday.
Don't tell me what to do.
I've pretty much stopped saying "hella". It's really more teenagers and college students that say it. I've never ever heard anyone in the bay area say gnarly, stoked, or rad though.
This is true. It irritates the shit out of me.
This, though, I tend to say "hella" a lot myself
It's become a habit.
Only in Santa Cruz I think

Maybe it's a Santa Cruz thing, but it doesn't make you look good to use the word "gnarly" or a derivative like "gnars," or "gnar gnar" when you're in your 40s.

There there. I only and the when in SoCal because otherwise people look at me when I'm talking about what freeway to take. Otherwise, I have no need to say 'the' when in NorCal.
Eh, I use 'em all, particularly stoked and rad - aside from hella. *shrugs*

You hear about the crazy shooting in Santa Cruz the other day?

Fuck, I lived down on Haste and Shattuck when I was going to school and I was always extremely envious of those living in North Berkeley. I'd love to find a place there now that I'm moving back (Monterey market is way too crowded, though).
Yeah man, it was about a half mile from one of my friend's house. Crazy shit. Santa Cruz has had a horrible month. A dude getting killed in a driveby in front of the Red Room downtown, a UCSC student getting shot in the back of her head during a robbery attempt, a visiting girl getting raped at UCSC in broad daylight by some unknown dude, these recent cop shootings and yesterday morning some student died after falling from a bridge on campus.
Pretty crazy. Pretty much nothing violent happened when I was attending UCSC.

Apparently, shots were fired during the pursuit right in the outside eating area of Whole Foods. My neighbor in Morgan Hill is a Santa Cruz cop, and that was the first time I ever saw him while coming over 17. He pulled up next to me on the summit and waved. Luckily, he was ok. Apparently the entire force got the day off yesterday.

It's weird hearing about all this going down, as when I was attending UCSC, the most you ever heard about were the pot raids... and that was about it. Even school news was kinda more along the lines of 'watch out for mountain lions' or 'be careful when walking in unlit areas' but nothing like either the rape or someone falling off of one of the bridges...
Depressing hearing about all that for sure though...
Crazy... And glad your neighbor's okay and probably lucky the entire force was off otherwise it may have been worse.

Interesting enough, I was looking up the bridge death, because I hadn't heard of it, and saw this just posted:
UCSC Rape was Fake, Police Say
I guess we can cross one Santa Cruz atrocity off the list, my friend just sent me this: http://news.ucsc.edu/2013/02/assault-update-release.html
Who does that...?
Edit: Beat! haha

Not even. If you live anywhere in a twenty, twenty five minute radius of SF, SF is referred to as The City, or you're a tourist.
E: beaten lol

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
True. Though I refuse to partake in that one, I'm a born and raised New Yorker so there's only one 'the city' to me
It's sad because I like the area. I hardly ever go because of the traffic.
LOL
It's something that's integrated to all those living nearby. It's so common that whenever I hear someone say The City, I think of SF.
Its about to be hella gnarly out there bruh.

you stuck in the valley too?

I've lived in SF for two years and I've never heard anyone call it The City. Maybe like "I live in the city" meaning downtown, but never emphasized as a proper noun.
It only makes sense in the context of living outside of the city. What are you up to today? Oh just heading into the city to hang out. Stuff like that.

Pretty much what Yaboosh said. Whenever I'm talking to anyone and say that 'I work in the city' or 'I'm heading into the city for the day', usually I'm referring to San Francisco and most people understand that fact.

i thought it was common knowledge San Francisco was known as 'The City'.
This was the Warriors logo when they played in SF during the 60's:
I thought it was, but whenever 'The City' is said, it's usually in context of something that's said. I only hear it referred in the singular when actually in San Francisco itself.
I haven't had this place but my friend says it's good soul food.

Oh. My friends and I were talking about this place a while ago. I forgot about it until now. Thanks

Went there with a friend a few years back, the fries and crepes were great.
Favorite place... Hmm... I'm fond of On the Bridge in Japantown but service is either super-slow or prompt. Kinda strange.
My family also loves Tad's so I have some bit of affection for that place too.
Tried it once and loved their fries. I should probably go back and try something else.
Love this place. It's a shame that it opened on campus my last semester at SFSU. I should definitely go back since I haven't had a good sandwich in a while.
some spots I like in SF:
PPQ Dungeness Island - Awesome crab place. Peppercorn flavor all the way.
Lers Ros Thai - Favorite Thai place in the city.
Nopa - Best pork chop I have ever had.
Brenda's French Soul Food - Dessert beignets are bomb.
Ha Nam Ninh - Nice pho spot. Known for their #25 Dry.
Turtle Tower Restaurant - Northern Vietnamese style pho with wider noodles. Love their Pho Ga. Good for hangovers.
I think we already covered the ice cream spots in this thread so I'll skip those.

I love Brenda's Cinnamon Apple beingets. It's like a cinnamon apple pie in beignet form.
Pearl's is great for burgers.
Pearl's is great for burgers.
not sure if this has been mentioned but funcheap.com is a great way to find out all the cool and FREE things to do in the bay area.
For instance, this Sunday is free day at the Oakland museum of Art and History as well as the Academy of Sciences in SF
Oh for the best meal in San Francisco, try Zante's Pizza. They have an Indian pizza that is out of this world. It's indian food. on pizza!
Check the website. They may have one closer to you than the one in SF.
I'm like 5 blocks from this place and I've still never tried their pizza. I do recommend Little Star Pizza though.
The curry pizza at On The Bridge is dope.
