Pi Bar apparently has this beer in stock. It’s called Omer, just like everybody’s favorite Tourettic Valencia Street street musician. Perhaps Pi Bar (also on Valencia Street) should put together some sort of promotional event where they have Omer on special and a performance by Omer! That I’d like to see. That I would RSVP to on Facebook in a second, and actually attend.
Also, traditional blond? Our Omer is certainly not a traditional blond. Here he is doing a “kickass cover song”:

This guy makes the fucking music of my nightmares.
This guy is nothing if not consistent. He’s been within a block of 22nd and Valencia for at least a decade now.
Sadly, I think this represents a changing of the guard for that stretch of Valencia St. Too many scones and crepes and $6 beers for my taste.
Sure he’s a nut, but I’d rather hear Omer sing “Jingle Bells” at 2am on a summer night, than be bored to death at Pi. Blech.
Bless Omer and his weathered William H Macy face and David Lee Roth Burning Man clothes, his Beefheart brains, and his gutter soul. Dude is what Beck would have been in 20 years if he didn’t get all L Ron Hubbard on us.
Did you know Omer has a yelp profile? It’s fucking hilarious…

3.5 stars (just like Pi)!
That is as brilliant a description of him as I have ever heard.
I guess people who actually live around the places where that dingbat conducts his antics (not you, Chewy Lewis, clearly) should be trust-fund kiddies who don’t have to wake up at 6 AM to open a cafe. But the problem is, if you populate the neighborhood with people who don’t need to sleep at night, you’re going to get a neighborhood that caters to people who don’t sleep at night. Chew on that awhile, Chewy.
Who’s talking about populating the neighborhood with people that don’t sleep at night? I’m not talking Omerfication here.
I’m not just saying the dude adds a lot of flavor to our neighborhood, a flavor I prefer to yet another obnoxiously named uninspired eatery that summons boring, buttoned up wolves. It’s starting to look like Cole Valley up in this piece and it’s annoying. I give it two years before they rename the south end of that drag “Cole Valle-ncia”.
Choosing to live off a rowdy road in a wild city means accepting the fact that you’re gonna hear a 50 yr old muppet screaming La Bamba at 3am. Jam your crank to that, Cranky.
correction: “I’m JUST saying…”
“Who’s talking about populating the neighborhood with people that don’t sleep at night? I’m not talking Omerfication here.”
Yes, you are. By definition, the businesses you would prefer to have on Valencia are precisely the businesses that would fire employees in a heartbeat for being late to work because they were kept awake all night by assholes like Omer.
Trust me on this. I’ve been there, 30 years ago.
Gotcha. Talk to you in 30 years!
you’ve been here 30 years and you don’t know how to sleep with some city noise? That’s on you. I’ve got the 22 shaking my bedroom 24/7 and Marina douchebags closing down the (Mission, not Marina) bar across the street and still get up at 6 and raise 3 kids in this town. I’d rather hear Omer than read your oldguy schitck. The city is going to hell and will never stop going to hell until it’s San Jose2. The Zyngafication in upon us….this next wave of ‘young techies’ as described in todays, will make it happen.
Wow. Newbie trolls. I don’t care what you would rather hear, perverts, all I care about is what real, non-sock-puppet people can endure while trying to collect their natural measure of sleep before getting up and going to work every day. If you can live with some caterwauling asshole outside your window at 2 AM, fine. I hope he moves on to your neighborhood. I am positive that he is not there now.
why do people have to hold the camera fucking sideways. UGH
today’s Ex, that is.
