Along with nearly 30 other local musicians, the Richmond District’s David Greco played at the Bazaar-Stock 2 music festival on Saturday. Special thanks to Leasha LaBruzzi for taking and sharing the pictures.

From my interview with David last year, I know he is a big Beatles fan. It looks like he channeled a little bit of John Lennon’s classic style for the show.

Did anyone stop by the Bazaar Cafe to hear the music on Saturday?

To the Legion of Honor; photo by madmethod. Reminds me of a piece of one of my favorite Sting songs, “Fill her Up”:

“And as I head through the woods on the way back, the evening sun is sliding through the pine trees real pretty…”

The National Weather Service had issued a tsunami advisory for the entire West Coast today after a series of earthquakes struck off the coast of Chile overnight, the highest being an 8.8 magnitude quake [SFAppeal].

Like a typical San Franciscan, I completely ignored the warning and headed straight to Ocean Beach to see what would happen at 1:20pm, the projected time for wave touchdown.

There were several hundred people out at Ocean Beach, a couple hundred down on the beach itself. There was a lot of churning surf and really large waves breaking way offshore. A Coast Guard helicopter kept watch overhead.

I stood with two other gawkers who have surfed Ocean Beach. They said they felt confident they could make the sprint back to the Great Highway if they saw a super large set breaking offshore (hmm, ok). As you’ll see from the pictures, joggers, walkers and dog owners were undeterred by the warning as well.

On the way back to my car, I heard a Sheriff’s officer remarking that it was much heavier surf than normal. Though he was holding yet-to-be-posted “TSUNAMI ADVISORY” flyers in his hand.

Our local firefighters at work turning off a fire hydrant that was sheared off near Geary and 15th Avenue yesterday. Thanks to beamjack for sharing the photos.

This photo was snapped by Richmond resident, Methanie, near 7th and Geary. The story behind the photo:

When you live in a neighborhood as long as I have, you see the same people over and over again. I have been wanting to photograph this man for awhile. I constantly see him riding around the ‘hood, running his errands on this tiny girl’s bike. And it makes me smile every single time.
