Overheard in New York
I think we need a Overheard in SF.
Although Overheard in Berkeley might top both of them.

Brain Wash
It’s a cafe and laundromat in San Francisco.
They have live music, an “art wall” gallery, spoken word poetry (seriously!) and other events.
I haven’t checked it out yet, but I intend to soon!

One Ripe Tomato
Last night I partied with about 100 old Mexicans. It was a type of fun I hadn’t been anticipating.
It was Diane’s mom’s neighbor’s 50th Wedding Anniversary, and they went all out- a giant buffet, a 3 tier wedding cake, a bar and a band playing insanely loud 1950’s Mexican-American jazz (think zoot suits in Los Angeles).
There was this one song where Diane jumped up and grabbed the groom and danced- no one could decide (even our hosts) what the lyrics were, or the title, but almost everyone has heard it: it sounds like the lyrics are
One ripe tomato!
I said a one ripe tomato!
One ripe tomaaaato!
‘said a one one ripe tomaaaa-to!
The guests were constantly on the dance floor. I remember watching them and having a sense of “this is how it is supposed to be.” I think large parties for our generation should have a brief “how to dance” session for the first ten minutes the band is playing.
Whirlpool Polara
It’s an oven which refrigerates your food until it’s time to cook it.
To make sense of why this is cool, read their sample day.
