16 hours agoBeloved San Francisco punk bar Thee Parkside to close
Thee Parkside, a longtime Potrero Hill punk bar and music venue, is closing and its building will be demolished for condos.
Then one day, in 2007, I was at a punk gig when a mutual friend said, Oh, do you know Tom Box? He's over there. He's just moved up to Wellington. There in a sea of black-clad punks, jumping up and down at the front of the mosh pit, was this guy in a pale blue Star Trek uniform. To me, as a person unfamiliar with Star Trek, he looked like he was wearing pyjamas.
