hearing at the request of president bleiman. if you have any questions about any of this, let me now now. otherwise, i will pass the microphone to dylan who wanted to make a minor announcement. >> good evening, commissioners. dylan rice, senior analyst for community and cultural events. a quick reminder and quick plug for the next s.f. outdoor events network mixer which is tomorrow evening. we're excited to host and do it at el rio in the mission district. the topic, again, will be how your event can leverage technology to increase revenue and improve customer service and we will have great speakers from a company called tour tech which does wi-fi infrastructure and connectivity for major events. and another company called guidebook which creates tools

and templates for events to create apps and other kind of ways to engage with the customers. and so i hope you can join us tomorrow evening 5:30 at el rio. thank you. >> thank you. >> one quick -- dylan, i wanted to pass on to you a longtime, active participant in the entertainment commission, retired deputy chief jim dudley is now a san francisco at san francisco state and your flyers are out there. i don't know if you know that, but made to the billboards to san francisco state for tomorrow night. >> that is terrific. >> and that jim dudley is still paying attention to the work we do is kind of scary. thank you for that. >> anymore questions? >> all right. thank you very much for those reports. now is the time for general public comment on this agenda item.

seeing none, public comment is closed. moving along on the agenda, the next item that we will take a look at is report from our sound inspector. inspector burke. >> thank you, president bleiman. inspector sean burke here. at the top of my hearing notes, they should be in your binder, the first entry is for bernie man decompression on october 20, 2018. this is an annual event at a new location, and the new location did generate quite a few complaints from around the city. i can get into some more detail with that one. i think one of the major reasons that -- one of the things that we could have done differently and will do next year is to try to address an event of this size

during sound check, visit the location the moment complaints start to come in via 311. it's going to take some effort to dial in our systems as far as notifications from 311 to make sure we're getting things promptly, and to make sure that the inspectors in the field have all the tools they need to address things quickly. we did work with the promoter to make sure that anyone who provided an email address was notified after the fact basically saying that it's a new location and thank you for your patience. and i think next year will be much more fruitful with less complaints. the latest event on october 24, many of less complaints than last event. we had two from this time. one from directly outside the

ball park. and we got a complaint for -- i have no idea how to pronounce this wine bar. they host entertainment sporadically and have a rental space next door and we're working with them to get them into compliance and permitted. anchor brewing hosted an outside event october 27, and i have reached out to a general email address there to make sure they are aware of the permitting process. we were unable to visit that due to the time of the day, but working with them to make sure they know for next time. we did have the first complaint for sharmain's rooftop proper hotel on november 1. and we're working with the complainant and the operator to make sure if things need to be adjusted on the rooftop, that they are. and another complaint for

regency ballroom. we were getting complaints about the tour vehicles idling engines and fern alley, and now we just recently got a complaint from sudor street on the other side of the building. inspector sevino is in touch with the operator and will be followed up with the complainant as well. most of the site inspections you will see came from halloween events or complaint follow-ups. i am not sure there is much to report on there, but if anything sticks out, you will see names that don't appear. pedro cantina. and dorian, one-time events. all the rest were at venues that generally host events all year

around and had one for halloween as well. three notices of violation, one administrative citation, and then you will see the ongoing complaints section. we are working closely with jones about multiple neighbors who have begun to complain about sunday brunch event that is hosted outdoors. the verde club has a church service we are getting complaints about on sunday morning. our inspector has been out there to work with the operator and the band for the church service to try to address that. and double dutch received one complaint via email after the fact on october 21. and three complaints since last hearing for halceon and all over the course of the same weekend, october 27, 28, and 29. and i'm available for questions.

>> sean, quick question. about the complaints to halceon. and it struck me that they have a complaint on the 27th, 28th, and 29th. were we able to reach out them on any of the occasions as it came up? >> the -- the issue that we're having is that the coverage for inspectors in the field, we don't have the coverage every weekend early in the morning, that late in the morning. and then you will see 11:00 p.m. the 29th, that was, i believe, sunday evening, monday morning,

where we didn't have anyone in the field. >> thank you. >> sean, on the follow-up on that, they are supposed to only have 12 events, right, per year. are you able to verify these from the complainants and there's more 17 after 4:00 events listed. are these verified? is this true? >> are you talking about the leter from kelly? >> the number of events in there. we have been able to verify, i believe, two from her list that were not given to us by the operator in advance. >> and -- >> so minus two, are they still over 12 then? >> i think we should probably discuss this in full detail on december 4 because we're going to have everything completely laid out for you. although, that notice to appear has some pretty substantial

supporting documents. i believe they are at seven that we have accounted for, five of which we were notified prior, two of which we were notified after the fact due to complaints where we have in writing from operator they did operate past 4:00 a.m. and would like that to count toward the 12. >> i guess we will discuss that then. and another thing is complaints about spin and the outdoor speakers and gave them a citation, but i am on the next door app -- >> and in that neighborhood. >> and some of the neighbors are saying they go down there and just -- i mean, they kind of ridicule us. and like, whatever. >> so it went from an n.o.v. to just this past weekend, i believe, a citation. and so i actually issued that myself to one of the owners. if you'll recall when spin came in here, they were very corporate. the person that owns it lives in new york.

and actually it's susan sarandon's -- and i sent that and i am very hopeful this person will get back to me and get this place in compliance. it seems to be that the two parties aren't really talking. >> i mean, owners are in new york and managers are here and just doing whatever. should be abiding by the permits. >> if they don't come back into compliance, we will definitely take further action. >> okay. >> inspector burke, in terms of the burning man decompression complaints, was there a particular time frame that they were concentrated around? >> these were on the earlier side, all before midnight, i believe. i am trying to recall when the event ended, and i don't recall, but i think all of these events were done -- all the complaints had ceased by midnight.

they started as early as -- i want to say 7:00 or 8:00. >> okay. thank you. >> and just another -- and i remember when they asked for the permit and were happy there weren't very many residential buildings in that area and were hoping this would be a good new venn view and there were so few residents in the area, but it seems like there were more residents within earshot than they had anticipated. is your sense that the complaints came from people who had been reached out to that this event was happening or people that were unaware that it was happening? >> no, i think word travels fast and i don't think the majority of the people who complained had been oatfied by them and as far as what people are hearing, i think through next door, through

-- i mean, even 311 to a certain degree and it will say there is an event going on in this particular location. so no, i don't think that we're dealing with people who are close by. i think the majority of the complaints came from across the city. >> got it. and given that -- i mean, i was optimistic they found a good venn view wow and lot of residential buildings nearby to be concerned about the sound, but if we permit events in that location going forward, i mean, is it a matter of sort of sound controls or what are our best options in terms of events in that location? >> commissioner thomas, this is,

i think that this could be many locations aand we have seen this many times with at&t park, with pier 70, and now this location. so these complaints were being report and the complaints were reported from the neighborhood that is hearing sound from waterfront, which is very interesting. and i think it obviously has to do with weather and i think that in the future in talking to and in talking to the event producer, they would like sound monitors in the field who can go and adjust volumement based on what they are hearing, and so ewith're going to work much more closely with them next time around. same game plan for other venues along the waterfront.

>> great. >> thank you. >> inspector burke, just to circle back to halceon and i don't want to get in the weeds, but trying to understand how you gather your data. as far as validating the potential of the other events, do you have access to the police department's dispatch system? if not, that is something we should look at. because you might be and we could do an extensive data dive to help evaluate if there were events going on via other calls for forms of service. >> we ask for calls for service from them every single time and so they were c.c.'d on that notice to appear and we asked them for that specific data. >> executive director, i would be happy to facilitate that

need. >> that would be great. i have heard that the data has come back as zero in the past. >> sometimes application specific and we might need to get an actual analyst involved. and i think there is the occasion to the point this is getting to that we should exhaust our efforts on the police department's side. just to get you the best possible information. >> all right. is there any public comment on inspector burke's report? two minutes. thank you. >> once again, lieutenant falzon makes a good point, and i will tell you why it's important to exhaust all the resources because it doesn't sound like this situation is improving. you have the owner of an establishment who continually defends her position and then

you have people who live nearby who continually experience the chronic sound. so it's almost like a catch-22 where it gets exhausting. but at some point if there is citations that and at some point where he goes to the city attorney's office for public nuisance. and then it becomes really, really involved because then you have money and this and that and the other thing. it sounds like that's not getting better. and that is the part that at some point you hope that people figure things out. that is just the way it sounds. that name keeps coming up. >> thank you. >> i would like to say that as far as police data, we have made efforts in the past to contact

law enforcement, but we haven't received timely response complaints. we understand that sound complaints are way down on the list of things that officers need to attend to, so i am not sure if that available is going to be available. i have made efforts to get cab numbers on the phone. but it is not very frequently that we get anyone actually responding while the club is still open. it is usually the following morning. >> thank you. >> seeing no additional public comment. public comment is closed. >> we'll move on to the next item here, which is -- sorry, everyone. so that was item number six.

five. so we did the report from the mission station captain. that brings us to final item, which is commissioner comments and questions. >> i would like to just propose that we do a little discussion around how the entertainment commission is actually using some -- using next door in terms of the feedback loop in terms of how neighbors are discussing the venn use and how we incorporate that into some of rn some of the issues. >> can you explain a little bit? we currently only use it for major outdoor and where we have the possibility on the user to post on behalf of at&t park or

in the civic center and we are permitting it, that kind of thing. >> i was curious because it came up twice today in our conversations. i understand as an employee of the government agency what access we have into certain neighborhoods. a lot of times when there is a conversation and there are issues going on, it would require a neighbor to notify the agency that we were being discussed. >> and they were able address it and i am curious how we are participating in the discussion and i understand the notifications on this and conversations we didn't start. for example, but i will look into that. i didn't even realize that we could potentially access comments like that, but i think when i argue for next door to create us an account, which is kind of hard to do as a

government agency, but i think they had restrictions on it. i don't know. i will see what our access is and see if we can get that data. >> i know that, for example, the next door for my neighborhood, we get announcements if films or commercials are being filmed. things like that. and then i also -- i am on the petrero hill one and i saw some of the comments about decompression and things like that. without wading too deeply into the more sort of racist and antihomeless parts of next door, it would be useful to figure out how we can use that as a tool for gathering neighborhood concerns and complaints and maybe as an early warning system or something like that. i think it's both us being able to inform neighbors about

entertainment events happening and especially sort of one time. an if there is a way to use it for unlimited information gathering or feedback. thank you. just for clarification, i think i make most of the next door announcements. as far as i have seen, we don't have access to particular neighborhood feeds. i can see responses, and the only way to have access to that is for you as commissioners or you guys as residents of san francisco to bringing any of the stuff to the director's attention and we can address it

as it comes in. >> i think you have to be living in that area to get that report. >> it may not have much utility for us. >> it depends. >> but what we can do and what i can do as a user as an admin user is target certain neighborhoods. if there is something that a certain neighborhood needs to know as an agency, we have access to target them specifically. if anybody wants to do anything like that, do let me know. >> a my main comment is i am on the soma one, but when they are concerned and asking questions of each other how do i get help? and they mention the venue like spin and try to talk to hem and they blow them off and feel like they are helpless, and then they said, the e.c. doesn't do anything. these are the kind of comments that bother me. that we're trying to -- a lot of times we are giving them a break. you probably been down there and

giving them warnings and trying not to give them a ticket. but they still just ignore it. that is when i get kind of tired seeing them on the system. being mentioned all the time and we kind of talk to them and then they're talking bad about us like, who cares about them? that just kind of bothers me. >> you can't win them all over. >> i do have some thoughts on that. just we can't be everywhere at once. and we have an incredibly limited resources for what we are doing. and what i think might be really interesting is the idea that one-time events or recurring events might utilize next door to spread the word on uses the correct processes for lodging complaints with us. what i don't want is for inspector burke to be checking 10 different apps. i don't know if you have looked at next door recently, but it can be an absolute horror show

on there. i am afraid to leave my house sometimes. like i am going to i do if i walk out of the house and read next door. but it is a good way to advertise to people the proper channels of doing things. and i think that might be a best practice that we look into. okay. those are my thoughts. >> good. >> all right. is there any public comments on the commissioner comments and questions? >> actually, i have one. >> please. sorry. i got a notice from the district attorney's office about the night life event that they are holding tomorrow or thursday. and do you know anything more about it? >> this is an event happening during the day on thursday at

111 mina and being put on by the district attorney's office and i know they are working with the special victims unit for sfpd as well. 111 mina is giving the venue for it. and i believe that they did some outreach to venue owner, but they did that through 111 mina and ray bobbit and i didn't hear about it until yesterday. so i reached out immediately to the person who was putting it on from the district attorney's office. i spoke with them today. and i said i felt like it was a missed opportunity. and so we're -- sean and i are going to attend on thursday and we'll make ourselves available. i think we put out some promotion on social media about it today. but again, it does feel sort of like a missed opportunity because they're not capturing promotion to all of our

constituents. but i did also offer this is something that we might want to expand on the topic of. this is also around domestic violence and in regard tonight life establishments as well as ride share happening in the evening hours and trying to make venues and patrons more aware of best practices around that. i said if this is a topic that we could potentially explore for our summit and then we can work together on them with that to expand their audience. all of you are welcome to attend. we just weren't a part of the planning at all. >> what time is the event? >> i believe it's 2:00 to 3:30, but it is on our facebook. double check there. >> i'll forward you the email that i got. >> all right. is there any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. and that is it.

>> we are going to adjourn the meeting. thank you.

to the cafe so many characters around here everything has incredible stories by famous folks last week the cafe that paul carr tennessee take care from the jefferson starship hung out the cafe are the famous poet lawrence william getty and jack herb man go hung out. >> they work worked at a play with the god fathers and photos he had his typewriter i wish i were here back there it there's a lot of moving parts the meeting spot rich in culture and artists and musicians epic people would talk with you and you'd get shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses and

challenges residents to do their shopping and dining within the 49 square miles of san francisco. by supporting local services within our neighborhoods, we help san francisco remain unique, successful, and vibrant. so where will you shop and dine in the 49? >> my name is ray behr. i am the owner of chief plus. it's a destination specialty foods store, and it's also a corner grocery store, as well. we call it cheese plus because there's a lot of additions in addition to cheese here. from fresh flowers, to wine, past a, chocolate, our dining area and espresso bar. you can have a casual meeting if you want to. it's a real community gathering place. what makes little polk unique, i think, first of all, it's a great pedestrian street.

there's people out and about all day, meeting this neighbor and coming out and supporting the businesses. the businesses here are almost all exclusively independent owned small businesses. it harkens back to supporting local. polk street doesn't look like anywhere u.s.a. it has its own businesses and personality. we have clothing stores to gallerys, to personal service stores, where you can get your hsus repaired, luggage repaired. there's a music studio across the street. it's raily a diverse and unique offering on this really great street. i think san franciscans should shop local as much as they can because they can discover things that they may not be familiar with. again, the marketplace is changing, and, you know, you look at a screen, and you click a mouse, and you order something, and it shows up, but to have a tangible experience,

to be able to come in to taste things, to see things, to smell things, all those things, it's very important that you do so. >> good morning, everybody. thank you so much for everyone being out here today. of course, the jug shop for welcoming us to this extraordinary celebration that really speaks to a community partnerships and the success of our invested neighborhoods programs and neighborhood economic development here in san francisco. we're very happy to have everyone here with us today. and to kick us off with this commemoration of our polk c.b.d. is our mayor. >> the hon. london breed: thank you. i'm so excited to be here today. this is the 16th community

business district in san francisco. this is what happens when communities come together. businesses, neighbors, and all of you are an example of how we make sure that we keep our city clean, we keep it safe, and we do it all together. i want to thank you and i want to thank suzanne, for her leadership. [applause] for the past three years, really spearheading this effort and getting it through. this was one of the lowest votes that we were able to get through the board of supervisors when you had the folks who were the property owners here vote to move this thing forward and i am just so glad it passed. it's going to make a difference. those folks who were not necessarily supportive, they're going to be happy with the results too. i can't wait until we clean up san francisco. this is helping in our efforts to do so. and so we also will have embassadors and people who are out on the streets.

we want the businesses here to grow and to thrive. places like the jug shop, which are a legacy business in san francisco. we have to do everything we can to protect our business community. we announced we will be opening another 1,000 shelter beds by 2020 here in the city and county of san francisco. we know we have a crisis on our hands and we know that we have to make smart investments because we see it on our streets every single day. it's effecting the quality of life. it's effecting the business community. we know that many of the people sadly that are struggling on our streets are experiencing a lot of challenges. and we want to thank you. we want to thank the discovery polk community benefits district for its work and its contributions and being partners in this effort to make sure city safer, to make sure city cleaner, and we know that there's so much work to do. this process has brought so many businesses together and i am just excited to be here today to

sign the legislation that made it possible. this is your victory. we're going to get to work to make san francisco an even better place for each and everyone of us. thank you so much for being here today. [applause] >> thank you, very much, mayor breed. of course, our next speaker is a long-time champion of community benefits. the author of the legislation and help make them possible. supervisor of our district 3, aaron peskin. >> thank you. so this is the 15th community benefit district in san francisco. as i like to say, all of our districts are created equal. district 3 is more equal. why do i say that? because we have five of the 15 community benefit district. when i first became a supervisor 18 years ago, there was one

business improvement district in san francisco. one. the city of berkley had more. san diego had dozens of them and i tred to figure out why was san francisco behind. and the answer actually was because the state law didn't think about places like san francisco, where we had mixed-use neighborhoods. the vibrant communities of polk street, north beach, and so we had to create our own law. that became article 15 of our business and tax regulation code. that began, what has spread all over san francisco. now let me say, it is very rare that people come together to celebrate the fact that they all voted to raise their taxes. that is exactly what we are doing today. it stays in the community. it does not mean a diminishment of city services. it's services on top.

i am very bullish on polk street. it is remarkably a vibrant community. i want to salute the lower polk neighbors and the lower polk c.b.d. which was at the forefront, that gave suzanne and the steering committee the vision that the c.b.d. to be extended in a northerly manner. there's going to be an economy of scale. christian mar tan, who does a remarkable job of running the lower polk c.b.d. is going to be the staff to the middle polk discover polk c.b.d. this makes a ton of sense. larry stringer from our public works department is going to continue -- you are in trouble. it's all good. it's going to continue cleaning your streets and emptying the trash cannes. thicans.this is a real boone foe city and county of san francisco. i'm delighted. on behalf of all of my

colleagues, who the voters passed it by yes, 50.01%, we voted unanimously to allow this c.b.d. to move forward. thank you, mayor breed. this is actually the first time, since mayor breed has become mayor i've been involved in an official signing ceremony and i cannot be more delighted. i want to shout out jaoquin torez and chris corgis who did a remarkable job. [applause] >> they came in and they brought me a list because they knew the election would be tight. they asked me if i knew those people because we needed just one or two more properties to vote yes and i found one guy who i knew, who actually was on the east coast. he said, yes, that is on my desk. i said, you have until 2:00 on tuesday to get back to the city and county of san francisco, vote that ballot and that is what took us over the top.

thank you chris corgis. i want to shout out northern captain joe english ler who has joined us. with that i'll turn it back to jaoquin torez. >> we all know if it wasn't for the hard work of the steering committee, in addition so many community members today, this event today and these resources couldn't be made possible. and it does take leadership, tenacity and commitment and i couldn't think of a person that exemplifies the definition of those words more that dr. suzanne markle-fox who i would like to invite up to speak to us. the director of the steering committee who made this possible. [applause] >> thank you. thank you so the lower polk, the discover polk community. you can tell i'm nervous. thank you very much to the lower polk community benefit district. it really was not only our fiscal sponsor but also our mentor for all of the process that we went through since may

2015. thank you to debra neman who was another informal mentor. shared her knowledge and experience and we definitely want to follow in her tracks. i'd also like to introduce you to the president of our board, tiffany yang, who is a brilliant young woman who is going to be taking this to the next level. the wonderful thing about this community benefit district is how property owners, neighbors, business owners and the faith community all came together to work on this. it was an amazing experience for me. it really demonstrates the vibrancy of this community. as others have said before me and will say after i'm sure, that our goals are a cleaner, safer and even more vibrant business community in the discover polk area.

thank you, everybody. [applause] >> thank you so much, suzanne. really, congratulations and savor this moment. it really is an anchor for so much incredible work to come. i want to point out, you can sense there's a community here supporting efforts like these. i did want to shout out again, i know exercise peskin and mayor breed also recognized some of the folks from our fellow community benefit districts across the street who have come here to celebrate. it's a strong community of folks who believe in the leadership and the impacts that this work can create across san francisco. christian martin to support these efforts along polk street. deb neman and her work in san francisco for the c.b.d. and simon bertrand from the tenderloin community benefit are all here to say thank you.

congratulations for those who are willing to take on a leadership role to make benefits happen in our communities. but it also takes merchants. as well and their support to make this work happen. so, ray baird supported this benefit district idea early on. providing refreshments at community gatherings. ray, we want to say thank you so much. invite you to come on up and say a few words. >> i'm no politician. i'm not great at doing this. i'm just humble merchants with a beautiful store back here. it's great we have the back drop of my store in the back there. whoever masterminded that did a really great job. thank you to everybody who came out today. there's a lot of sharp-dressed people from the city that are here. i feel a little under dressed. i'm excited for the opportunity that the c.b.d. brings us. i kind of wanted to relate it to some stories that were in the news recently. there was a horrible story about

some crime that happened in the tenderloin and the footage from the cameras that the c.b.d. installed were very beneficial to the police and so i think that's one of the resource that's is going to be of great benefit to us. we need it. i don't want to be a bummer and remind everyone about how hard the streets of san francisco are. we live here and know the reality of that. filmore has beat cops. the news came across, i was watching on the news the next day, we had an incident at the store where we had to call the police out. i talked to the officers and i said, we want beat cops too. they said well you need an advocate to get in there and stand on the throat of the people at city hall and at the captain's office and things like that. so hopefully, what this c.b.d. promises for us is advocacy for this great community that i'm so happy to be a part of. i'll just wrap it up and i want

to say thank you for all the work, all these years. you know what it's like to have to canvas and cold call and do this to grind it out. way to go. [applause] >> that concludes the speaking part of our program. now we're going to do the signing right now. chris, if you can get it set up. i'd like to invite michael from the add cad mow of art academy. suzanne, ray. tiffany, come on up as well. >> we can invite the members of the c.b.d. leadership to come up.

[laughter] >> congratulations! [applause] >> one more statement. we are the one. that is our first single that we made. that is our opinion. >> i can't argue with you. >> you are responsible please do not know his exact. [♪]

[♪] [♪] >> i had a break when i was on a major label for my musical career. i took a seven year break. and then i came back. i worked in the library for a long time. when i started working the san francisco history centre, i noticed they had the hippie collection. i thought, if they have a hippie collection, they really need to have a punk collection as well. so i talked to the city archivist who is my boss. she was very interested. one of the things that i wanted to get to the library was the

avengers collection. this is definitely a valuable poster. because it is petty bone. it has that weird look because it was framed. it had something acid on it and something not acid framing it. we had to bring all of this stuff that had been piling up in my life here and make sure that the important parts of it got archived. it wasn't a big stretch for them to start collecting in the area of punk. we have a lot of great photos and flyers from that area and that. that i could donate myself. from they're, i decided, you know, why not pursue other people and other bands and get them to donate as well? the historic moments in san francisco, punk history, is the sex pistols concert which was at winterland. [♪] it brought all of the punks on the web -- west coast to san francisco to see this show.

the sex pistols played the east coast and then they play texas and a few places in the south and then they came directly to san francisco. they skipped l.a. and they skipped most of the media centres. san francisco was really the biggest show for them pick it was their biggest show ever. their tour manager was interested in managing the adventures, my band. we were asked to open to support the pistols way to that show. and the nuns were also asked to open the show. it was certainly the biggest crowd that we had ever played to. it was kind of terrifying but it did bring people all the way from vancouver, tee seattle, portland, san diego, all up and down the coast, and l.a., obviously. to san francisco to see this show. there are a lot of people who say that after they saw this show they thought they would start their own band. it was a great jumping off point for a lot of west coast punk. it was also, the pistols' last show. in a way, it was the end of one

era of punk and the beginning of a new one. the city of san francisco didn't necessarily support punk rock. [♪] >> last, but certainly not least is a jell-o be opera. they are the punk rock candidate of the lead singer called the dead kennedys. >> if we are blaming anybody in san francisco, we will just blame the dead kennedys. >> there you go. >> we had situations where concerts were cancelled due to flyers, obscene flyers that the city was thought -- that he thought was obscene that had been put up. the city of san francisco has come around to embrace it's musicians. when they have the centennial for city hall, they brought in all kinds of local musicians and i got to perform at that. that was, at -- in a way, and

appreciation from the city of san francisco for the musical legends. i feel like a lot of people in san francisco don't realize what resources there are at the library. we had a film series, the s.f. punk film series that i put together. it was nearly sold out every single night. people were so appreciative that someone was bringing this for them. it is free. everything in the library is free. >> it it is also a film producer who has a film coming out. maybe in 2018 about crime. what is the title of it? >> it is called san francisco first and only rock 'n' roll movie. crime, 1978. [laughter] >> when i first went to the art institute before the adventures were formed in 77, i was going to be a painter. i did not know i would turn into a punk singer. i got back into painting and i mostly do portraiture and figurative painting. one of the things about this job here is i discovered some great

resources for images for my painting. i was looking through these mug shot books that we have here that are from the 1920s. i did a whole series of a mug shot paintings from those books. they are in the san francisco history centre's s.f. police department records. there are so many different things that the library provides for san franciscans that i feel like a lot of people are like, oh, i don't have a library card. i've never been there. they need to come down and check it out and find out what we have. the people who are hiding stuff in their sellers and wondering what to do with these old photos or old junk, whether it is hippie stuff or punk stuff, or stuffestuff from their grandpar, if they bring it here to us, we can preserve it and archive it and make it available to the public in the future. food in s
