no farting on the dancefloor
the city is obviously beautiful, it impresses pretty much anyone who comes into contact with it's architecture and geography. in addition to it's beauty, the city is remarkably intact. things work here. because of these things and others, it is a place for which europeans despise americans 10% less.
another thing i appreciate about it is people's take on body issues. nothing is more nauseating than the way in which new yorkers present their fear of people's bodies and all the things associated with them. feet especially. new yorkers hate looking at your feet if you aren't a woman, with a pedicure, wearing some tootsi plohound, or prada open toed platforms. i've literally seen new yorkers cringe or wince at the sight of a man's feet. all they have to do, if it bothers them is not look, if they know they will be offended. yet they look anyway. it's as if they want to be offended and show everyone how offended they are.
anyway, there is one aspect about san francisco's lax body attitude that i ran into trouble with last week, when seeing luke hess and mike huckaby at the end up. the aspect i'm talking about is farting on the dance-floor. i embody sf's(california's) relaxed attitude about bodies, except when it comes to this. i had forgotten about this. as soon as i experienced it, i remembered an episode of south park, you know the one, it's true! i ran into 4 or 5 farts in about a 2 hour span.
please don't make me smell your rectal gas. go fart in a corner, or go outside to fart. i don't care that you ate some great meatloaf at blue plate earlier in the evening and want to show it off to everyone. relish the fact that you ate a $60 meal alone, please.
there is nothing more annoying than tearing up the dance-floor to a hard-hitting detroit track and then having a gust of san francisco go up your nose, which, unfortunately overwhelms detroit. it's like rock, paper, scissors. fart beats music. you can't escape.
so, if you read this and live in sf, if you see someone dancing like mad, obviously getting into the music, with a widow's peak and glasses, go and fart on somebody else.
