Another Glimpse Inside The Armory… From Margaret Cho?!

Well, time to chalk up another celeb hanging in the Mission. This time, at the Armory.

I was listening to WTF with Mark Maron this morning (which by the way, is an amazing podcast. It’s like a series of psychotherapy sessions for all my favorite aging stand-up comics) and I was surprised to find out that Margaret Cho is pretty freaky. So freaky, in fact, that she has been known to visit the Armory for some bizarre late-night… well just read on:

Margaret Cho: Then I got into these group sex situations which were really bizarre.
Mark Maron: Woah really?
MC: Yeah with porn stars. Like I would go to the Armory in San Francisco which is a big porn studio… The biggest studio they have is called kink.com… it’s a giant building. It’s like a 163 year-old building that’s a historical landmark.
MM: Was it originally built for fucking?
MC: No, it was built to house the troops.
MM: Oh it’s an armory. It’s a real armory.
MC: It’s a real armory. And so they have like… makeshift hotels for porn stars that stay. And so you can stay there. And they–I never got this done–but one of the things they do is, they call it a “midnight takedown,” where you go to bed and you go to sleep and they watch you fall asleep and then they come and they fuck you. Like 17 people.
MM: And they film it?
MC: Yeah they film it. But I didn’t get to do that because I locked my door.

Check out the rest of this fascinating episode here and I guess we’re a celebrity gossip blog now. Stay tuned for our acquirement by Perez Hilton LLC.

NY Pigeons Much More Dignified Than SF Pigeons

Look at that pigeon!  It’s learned to eat at the dinner table like a civilized person!  Over here they just eat from the gutter, or resort to (gasp!) cannibalism.

What other good manners can our pigeon population learn from their East Coast brethren?

DMV Relaxes Custom Plate Guidelines

Damn! I was going to get this plate. Well, I guess the one with a wolf silhouette is still available… but it’s just not the same.

Molly Ringwald Sighting at Delfina

Happy birthday, Plumpy! (Our old pal Plumpy saw M.F. Ringwald yesterday):

So remember when Jane Lynch ate at Delfina Pizzeria a few weeks ago? Well, today Molly Fucking Ringwald was there. Awesome. I was eating with my friend who works there (it’s my birthday, so yes, I totally made my friend eat at her own work) and she confirmed it with the other employees. I didn’t get a photo because I’m not trying to be a creepster, though. So maybe this isn’t solid enough to go on the blog.

Au contraire, mon frere!

The Babies

The Babies are going to be big, you guys. They’re from New York, they’re cute, their music rules, they have a song called “Breakin’ the Law,” and they sing into dirty laundry instead of microphones. I went to Sacramento last night and saw them play in somebody’s garage and it was awesome.

Tonight they’re playing a house show in Oakland, and tomorrow they’re playing at Li Po. This will be like seeing LCD Soundsystem open for !!! at the Independent before anyone had ever heard of them. Now’s your chance!

Plus, look how rad their west coast tour shirt is:

Go see the Babies!
