supervisor mirkarimi: there are a lot of very special people here tonight. this is an awesome crowd. it is wonderful. but i would be remiss if i did not recognize someone who is sort of like our local mick jagger. mayor willie brown is also here, too. [applause] very popular and i'm very glad he is here. i keep telling because of the people who want to line up and how photographs with him that we should charge $5 apiece and help reduce our city deficit. i think we could get there. anyway, thank you, everybody. program is wonderful. [applause]
