On Sunday the 2nd of September this year of 2007, a merry gathering of SFØ minions congregated at the site of the doorhenge with offerings of various kinds from the streets of San Francisco with which to build an altar to the spirit of the city. Many had arrived earlier for the scaring of a certain Lola, and much rejoicing was had.
Indeed so much rejoicing that the careful organization of building this altar to our fair city was left to the individual players themselves. Our collection of magical items grew into a towering pile atop the original altar door, lit up by the flames of our bonfire.
Altar components
Satellite dish
take-out cartons
shopping basket
beads
pillow
copper grounding rod with clamps
broken bicycle lock
muni transfers and bart tickets
fragment of the San Francisco city tree
Hello Kitty icon
green plastic tea cup
ceramic swan candle holder
feather(s)
calling card
comb
sheet of little stickers (including little yellow bears)
Sadly, after young ਬਿਨ ਯਾਮੀਨ(Ben) departed the henge at the end of his long journey in honor of Tehching Hsieh some dark force blew down a large section of the henge, and with it much of our collection of offerings. Happily, a few remain, resurrected from the destruction as a testament to the strength of the spirit of our Paris on the Pacific. The following images depict the remaining offerings:
It wasn't beautiful, but it's hard to imagine a more successful Altar. Whether carried over the City in the smoke of burning blue jeans or the signals from the satellite dish, the offering to The Spirit of the City must've been Good - and it was answered days later by strangers bearing tools.
It has been pointed out that the official seal as well as the flag of San Francisco both display the image of a phoenix rising from flames. If ever there were a more sure sign that the spirit of our city was honored by our little puja, it was demonstrated by the quick destruction and serendipitous reconstruction of the henge along with the reclaiming of our prized objects.

Whoosh! Up in flames.

When I found the koala in the road, it was stuck all over with pins like a voodoo doll. Seemed perfect.
I pulled most of them out for safety's sake. Someone, somewhere in Australia maybe felt a surge of relief, not knowing SFØ was to thank.
I couldn't believe it when Sean showed up with the satelite dish. Doorhenge gets good reception, even the more racy 'late night channels' if you will.
I brought a little wicker hot pad thing, to keep our steaming kettles from discoloring the table (or something). burn baby burn!

I also think that the power of the alter to our dear city is what summoned the workers to do the miraculous restoration of the henge after its terrible destruction.
Seeing the remains of the alter strewn about the ground and between the fallen mangled doors the night that doorhenge went down made me a little glassy eyed. Then seeing them lovingly gathered and placed in the fixed henge the very next afternoon made me very glassy eyed.
I declare this the forum for urban bonfire planning!
almost like a sale promotion
NO MORE RHYMES, I MEAN IT!
Someone'll help me out with the correct response, right?
thank you Samwell, thank you so much. Doesn't get much more ridiculous than that.
Ahhh Yellow Bear! What What (in the butt)....don't get much better then that noise...
Soooo Funny....Stomach still hurts from laughing....make it stop....I'm crying....
ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Oh man.....now I got that f'ing song stuck in my head...
Eddy: I am truely sorry! I know your pain, I have spent many a day at work with that song stuck in my head. in fact my quasi-scarry super metal head boss would quite frequently say "what what!" to which I and many would reply "in the butt" as a form of normalized daily interaction. so funny to me. I'm glad to know you are as twisted as I am.
Yellow bear:
it's okay
if you have a little fright
don't you worry
I wont bite (not that hard)
if you want it
i'll give you power
just be gentle
I'm delicate like a flower
I said what what in the butt
I said what what in the butt
oh man...yes I think this is just as good as the "Ass n' Titties" song
i listened to the 'shoe' song and i thought i had listened to the worst song ever made. i listened to the 'samwell' song and i realized how wrong i was.
i think i'm against free speech now.
Big booty bitches thats where it gets
Come on, hoe, let's go to the easy rest
When I see ass, titties, ass 'n titties
Ass, ass, titties, titties, ass 'n titties.
damn you Eddy.....my man ovaries are now offended
A Ga-jillion points, Kyle, if you offer up a poetic rendering of Ass 'n Titties in your next class.
While making appropriate hand gestures.
And documenting it all.
Eddy: And the fact that it starts with the flaming cross, before hitting the heavy breathing and the club beatz, is so ridiculous!!
We are gonna have to make you some pants that say "what" on each ass cheak!! I know somebody that had to wear a pair of 'em out at a club, after losing a bet. hilarious.
& I LOVE the 'Ass n' Titties' song!
Do you know the Lords of Acid? This is another pretty funny song, especially with the kitty image macros in the video. I was introduced to this song by an ex-grilfriend and 4 of the gayest boys I have ever met. (and I grew up in SF!) Or how bout Peaches? "Stay in school cause it's the best!" I know lots of good, bad music
Lowteck: The 'shoes' guy did another video (not a song) called Muffins. Thats why I turned into "muffins" during the Watmuff invasion. so random *imaginary muffin*
Lowteck- as always...you crack me up
Kyle...I am so glad that so many of my friends know the ass n tittie song...I have the best music video that you guys would freaking die over!
YB: Yeah I think that I do need a pair of pants that have WHAT WHAT written on the ass......I would rock that shit at any club/drag show 4eva! mmm...funny music is always awesome
I think I'm gonna make that my dance song of the week..
in my what
in my butt
I said what what
in my butt
Yellowbear, that video is OUT OF CONTROL! I love it. And I've sung the Lords of Acid Pussy song in front of an audience of queer kids and a buddhist monk. Have you seen the cover of the album?
Damn... simulatinious messages... new rhymn...
I swallowed a bag of spit!
Eddy your sending this here rhyming scheme up the spout.
Wipe Your Chin, and stop drowning the rhyming out.
ME? What, while your the one techy as a teased snake!
I didnt mean it like that...it was a joke...I was just playing witcha!
some of us need some attitude adjusters
I am two hoots and a hollar away from drinking me some Tornado Juice
Tornado Juice....is that some cocktail with both rum AND tequlia?
I'm talkin' bout Taos Lightening…
Rum and Ta'killia pro'ly tastes worse'n tarantula juice.
It's a Tarnation I tell y'a.
i'm talkin bout Wild Mare's Milk…
Now theres a real gut warmer.
It's what real hell rousers drink; whiskey!
My "Who Am I That A King Would Die For Me" pamphlet (found in the city in the pocket of a proselytizer) went undocumented. And I, as well. And, hey, where the hell is the blue paper and the chicken? And there's nothing wrong with pants cats. And
Damn you yellow bear! I wake up this morning and that song is still stuck in my head....I can visualize his head floating around.......with that smile...
No Lank, I mean the cover of Our Little Secret (although I'm really getting a kick out of that one). I can't find any images of the whole thing; it unfolds to reveal that the hot girl has an ENORMOUS erection (don't get too excited - she's wearing pants).
I feel a massive clue coming on here guys
It took me a while to think of it, but the song that I wanted to add to the Samwell discussion is here:
enjoy!
You're beautifull and curvy but unless you're a little pervy I don't think it's gonna last...
Do you take it in the aaaaaaaaaaaaah-ass
Diet Coke and a pizza please

Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge
Find yourself a big lady
Big boy come on around
And they'll be calling you baby
No need to fantasize
Since I was in my braces
A watering hole
With the girls around
And curves in all the right places
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
THAT IS JUST DOWNRIGHT DISGUSTING. I MEAN HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT OUT LOUD?
xenophobe no... i have a fear of braces, actually.
yay, i brought the pillow. but sat dish was most bizarre to me.
