Dude! Congrats!!!

That and the lack of clean underwear.
True story: last Friday I am in the Chicago Ritz-Carlton at Water Tower Place, looking for a coffee. I get in the elevator with noneother than Alex Morgan (aka "alexmorgan13). Shook her hand, but she wasn't in a social mood. Then I saw all the other cases of equipment and realized that the US Women's football team was camping out there for their Sunday friendly against Korea.
I get out of the building and walk in front of a Macy's department store. There is a row of helmeted cops ... one reaches out and practically grabs me and some random women, asking, "Are you two together?!" This with my wife a few steps behind me, mind you. I'm thinking
WTF?!? and back away. Then I see the police copters overhead above the skyscrapers.
What was going on?
The Joker movie was released at the Water Tower Place theater. Thank you, America, for reminding me that coming back it can be a police state just to watch a movie there ... or even be near a movie.
Seriously, that PG&E stuff is messed up. Everyone I hear back there is talking about how dystopian it is. As a VC based in SF told me in Lisbon earlier this year, "San Francisco is the most expensive third world country in the world."
SF voters are largely to blame for it. In 2008, Proposition H gave the voters a chance to start a public utility district and replace PG&E. They voted not to and kept that murderous company. Now they look like idiots for it.
I lived in Palo Alto, who has a municipal power district. When anything so slight as a breeze would kick up, neighboring Menlo Park (on the PG&E power grid) would have blackouts and Palo Alto would be still lit like North Korea vs South Korea at night from space. I knew then sticking with PG&E was an idiot move. Now they're stuck with it.
That doesn't solve the problem of power transformers causing fires. But it could make for more lower impact mini grids.
That said, this whole blackout thing reminds me of the Enron shakedowns (not THAT Enron, the original Houston company) that happened with the California power system some 15 years ago.The meltdown got the governor canned and replaced with Arnold Schwarzenegger as a result. Who knows what's at the tail end of this mess.
That would be pretty funny. Both sides of the political aisle seem to be just about triggering as entertainment as their only reason for having parties anymore.
Man, you know how to party. Worst I ever woke up from a party was some woman's shoes.
