Food Court Musical, Grand Central Freeze, Abercrombie Fitch, No Pants, Best Buy
Special skills
Hmm... I have a few media contacts.... I've been in the area since 81.... I know SF pretty well... a pianist, used to be an accompanist... I program, compose, blog, skate... I'm willing to help with improv musicals, scoring, harmonizing, assist vocalists, song writers / lyricists. I like improv theater too. Love The Yes Men - especially the New York Times prank.
I'm friends with A+D of BootieSF, the mash-up dance party, so mash-ups are available.
I loved the Food Court Musical by I. E. LA.

Thanks for the feedback! I was initially disappointed by someone's proposal that didn't make sense to me. Because "everyone's a critic" I felt compelled to take five minutes and think about a new prank.
I've been on a GG Trans bus where this young [black] teenage girl was so offensive that I moved away but she was so loud it didn't help.
Eventually a blue-collar everyman couldn't help himself and angrily confronted her. It only took 3 seconds for them to start calling each other nasty names, and since I was paying attention, I talked to the driver, replied to his suggestion that someone "ask her" to "end the call" or "be quiet" by saying someone did, she said no, and you need to deal with this right now.
We were going up waldo grade and he didn't pull over but he did have to demand that she cease and desist or she would be let out at the next stop.
Her attitude didn't change during any of this, no apology, no embarrassment.
Aside from the blue-color brave one [and myself], everyone else was TOO AFRAID to confront a teenager for OUTRAGEOUS, OFFENSIVE behavior on a TWO HOUR BUS RIDE. This had alot to do with plain RUDENESS PLUS offensive language. If I had subjected her to a loud, stupid conversation filled with offhand use of the N-word, while being apparently oblivious that this is at least impolite in public, that would be on par. It cuts both ways and you cant be offended by racial epithets when you use offensive language as punctuation, and I'm not talking about black people calling each other N-word, or gay people calling each other "bundles of kindling"
There are a few examples of behavior that has gone so far over the line, one wonders if some people get away with hiding plain old obnoxiousness behind a clock of ethnic or racial guilt-tripping. P.S. This was no po' city girl, we are talking Sonoma county suburban black teen.
Actually, I've definitely seen bad behavior in teens [and adults] of all kinds, but in this case she was scarily fearless, all by herself, and no excuse - middle-class suburban kid on her way into SF.
Hey how ya doin....I love your idea, for the noisiest bus's filled with rude kids we could try the #9, especially going down Powell where the schools are, and the #45. I think the time would be 3:30 or 4:00 but I'm not sure. Actually they are sometimes talking and screwing around so loudly maybe we could all begin doing what they are doing at a set time after they start. Let me Know!
I didn't see the FB link until now. I've just invited all of my theatre friends/spontaneous fun people so hopefully they all spread the word, mass e-mails might be good too (please send this to at least 5 people unknowing of this etc) ... I agree th…
