Flat on its back, dead in the grass, all but forgotten, but still there, nonetheless.

Life Is the Only Thing Worth Living For

Jenner Davis posted an article on Last Call, San Francisco - Nov 13, 2011, 8:32 am
If I had my choice of what, or whom, I could grab by the tattered sleeve and pull from the grave, it would not be anything over the loss of which this blog has previously lamented. It would be my friend Jesse Morris. I wonder if he knew how much he would be missed, if he would have changed his min...

Horseshoes and Hand Grenades

Jenner Davis posted an article on Last Call, San Francisco - Jun 23, 2011, 4:00 pm
Dear readers, I know I’ve been away for a while. And in my absence, much has changed. The beloved Eagle Tavern has closed for good, along with the Ace Cafe, both apparently falling under greed’s mighty axe. St. Mary’s pub has been sanitized to a hipster friendly sparkle, and Skip’s Tavern ha...

From The Vault – SRL Edition

Jenner Davis posted an article on Last Call, San Francisco - Apr 25, 2011, 3:15 pm
On April 4th, 1992, ground was broken for the construction of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art with a performance by the one and only Survival Research Labs. My mom was on hand to capture it all on camera, as she was for many events like this around the city. Remember when there were artis...

Seriously?!

This is why we can’t have nice things. Because if they haven’t already been co-opted by yuppies, or run into the ground by hipsters, they will apparently end up being senselessly defaced into extinction by a bunch of disrespectful shitheads. Take Clarion Alley for example: Who the hell are yo...

Three From the Vault

The following pictures are just three out of the thousands of photos of San Francisco taken by my mother, Anita Davis, during the mid 80′s and early 1990′s. She taught me everything I know about photography, and I’m thankful for the chance to share her work with the world. From her office w...

Party like it's 1997!

Jenner Davis posted an article on Last Call, San Francisco - Feb 28, 2011, 6:12 pm
While I was digging up the graveyard last night, I found this old flier for a show at the Trocadero back in ’97. Back then it seemed like there was live music going on everywhere! I never thought SOMA would ever become such a douchebag’s paradise. C’est la vie.

Fallen Jukebox Hero

In a previous post, “The Forgotten Fringe“, I mentioned Grimes Poznikov, otherwise known as The Human Jukebox. He was a San Francisco legend in his time, and a friend of mine after his downfall. I was sad to only recently learn of his lonely death, 6 years after the fact, and his story stands as...

A Gloomy Satanic Sunday

Jenner Davis posted an article on Last Call, San Francisco - Feb 11, 2011, 6:44 pm
One winter, years ago, I was at the Elbo Room for Anton LaVey’s daughter Karla’s annual Black X-mas party. Upon my arrival upstairs, a random, small toilet plunger flew from out of nowhere like a me-seeking missile, and bounced hilariously off of my chest. A direct hit! As I turned, laughing...

Today is BLANKET DAY!!!

Jenner Davis posted an article on Last Call, San Francisco - Feb 4, 2011, 3:42 pm
If you pass by the corner of 14th and Shotwell you will see a modest roadside memorial. Nothing fancy, just a few candles, flowers, and a plastic rosary. It was put there to mark the passing of one of the local homeless guys who camp out on that corner. He froze to death the night before last. He wa...

I would like to share with you today a great fucking song about my beloved city by the infamous Black Randy, off the album “Pass the Dust, I Think I’m Bowie.” The vocals are a little hard to understand at times, (like good punk should be,) so I have posted the lyrics below. Enjoy! SAN F...

I am aware that I do not speak for everyone. I understand that my tastes for the forgotten landscapes of yesterday are not necessarily shared. But this is the internet, and last time I checked the internet was still a free country. So, if Steve the neo-nazi can have his say on here, so can I. ...

Bay to Heartbreakers

It appears that the party’s over for Bay to Breakers this year, what with alcohol, floats, nakedness, and party crashers all being banned. I wonder if the new regulations will have any effect. I wonder how much longer my city will have to suffer, as her soul slowly withers away. I wonder how many...

Strangers When We Meet

The first bartending job I had was at a bucket of blood in Bernal Heights called Charlie’s. Its current incarnation, Stray Bar, is a far cry from its rough-and-ready predecessor, but then again the same could be said for Bernal Heights in general. Owned by a portly alcoholic named Charlie Bateman...

The Forgotten Fringe

Historically, San Francisco has always been enriched by the stories of the colorful characters who lived here, from the long ago legend of Emperor Norton, to the more contemporary eccentric, Frank Chu. I have known a few personally. They were weird. They were good people. Here are a couple l...

What’s a girl gotta do to get a meal around here? It seems that with every passing day another bar or restaurant I’ve come to know over the years shuts down, or is swallowed up by the overstuffed upper crust and their bottomless greed for property and power. Gone is my beloved King Diner, home...

Secret San Francisco – Bring Out Your Dead

The shots that ring out today in the air above Lake Merced are generally of no importance. They signify nothing more than our right to bear arms, and will bring satisfaction to no one, save the soul on the range that happened to pull the trigger. But on that very spot the morning of Tuesday, Septemb...
