  1. While I was sitting in the Castro Theater watching The Gaucho on the opening night of the SF Silent Film Festival, my iPhone buzzed with a call from my nephew. I didn't answer because the film is silent after all, and it was at the climax. He then texted me to say that Jonathan Sanchez, who was pitching for the Giants in place of the injured Randy Johnson, had a perfect game into the 8th inning. He texted again that an error later in the 8th blew the perfect game, but the no-walks/no-hitter was intact. The movie ended and I turned on the game as soon as we got to the car. The first out was recorded in the 9th, and the first play we heard was Aaron Rowand leaping onto the center field fence to make a spectacular catch to save a hit. Sanchez then struck out the last man looking to complete the no-no. First time in 33 years that a Giants pitcher achieved that feat, and if it weren't for a misplayed grounder (apparently a tough play) at third he would have been perfect. Cool stuff made all the more poignant by the fact that Sanchez has had a tough year in which he lost his 5th starter spot due to being erratic, and because his father, a former pitcher in Puerto Rico had decided to come to SF from PR the day before to his son start in the big leagues for the very first time. Hollywood couldn't write it any better.
  2. Not yet. No decisions made.
  3. Interesting, Shelley. Looking forward to your ongoing impressions.
  4. I read it quickly and then the blurry, Grado-like photo almost seems to say "headphone output" on the back. Loop makes the most sense.

  6. I like my P1 better from a looks perspective. I also don't understand the headphone output from RCA jacks on the back.
  7. Call Todd and ask him. He is very easy to deal with and would probably be able to hold your delivery for a week.
  8. Tumi briefcase to replace the one I bought more than 10 years ago.

  11. Where are the color choices!? I got my impressions done last night and will be joining TEAMCUSTOMIEMFOTM soon!
  12. I know you do!
  13. I record the live coverage show on Versus every day and watch it in the evening or whenever. I am often [relatively] bored by flat stages but these have been amazing. Looking forward to some big action today. Boonen just needs a little toot and he'll be back on form.
  14. Hendricks in both of my freezers atm. I guess I should try Blackwoods, but Junipero is still my favorite all time.
  15. Damn, I didn't have enough time to call him a cunt, straight up. I never used that word in high school, but it works for me now.

    But is it real?
  18. Hey, how is the HD300 with the HD800? Did I miss that discussion?
  19. I bet! That would be nice to hear sometime. Call me after you get that green shit off all of the surfaces in your home and maybe I can stop by.
  20. Nice. Be honest!

  22. Nice! Slacker looks so different than he did in 2006. Mike is such a mensch.
