On April 1 of 2022, I wrote that the night before I rode to Van Ness and market and met a whole bunch of people. We rode the length of Van Ness Red lanes and back. I took pictures of us.
There were metermaids at two spots. An MTA representative was setting up for a press conference at Geary. I noted that the ride up was hard but way easier when there are no cars. The far side was fun. The turnaround was hard at Chestnut because the lane ends. When we passed Geary there were more people getting ready for the press conference.
At the Veterans Memorial buildings I spoke to a couple of acquaintances who were part of an environmentalist group. We discussed my old coworker. We drank beer. I spoke to a couple of old school people too.
A small group ascended to the press conference. We kind of rolled into the cameras. The whole thing ended pretty quickly but the MTA Director and some people from the board spoke.
Unfortunately a guy in a Ferrari showed up and started acting rude. A bunch of us conspired to disrupt his situation. The guy assaulted a cameraman and a cop showed up.
A number of us were itching to go so everyone not involved went to Benders. We actually tried to go to Zeitgeist but it didn’t work out. Everyone else showed up later. Apparently the Ferrari guy got arrested.
We chatted over tots until 9 o’clock when they kicked us out of the parklet. I went home then.
This is an occasional series chronicling my life. This Notebook Analysis series is meant to be contemporaneous piece developed as an agglomeration of my notebook pages. In each of these posts I used my notes to develop my recent thoughts.
