The Castro Theatre has re-opened in San Francisco, and maybe the renovation is actually OK (although I think the seat color is atrocious). I'm delighted to see the calendar still includes a Sound of Music sing-along.

As a supremely Covid-cautious person I won't be going to any shows, but I'm still glad to have this gem looking pretty good. I mean, just look at that cupola!

Maybe dating in San Francisco will be easier if you don’t keep talking about raising seed rounds

Or taking out ads about how it’s easier to raise a seed round than to find a woman
