   Living in the Castro proper, it has been very interesting to watch the changes.

   And then there were the actors who stopped me on my walk home from work & tried to pick me up by getting me to say 'Kalamata' in a Sean Connery accent.

     I cannot recall having heard of a stranger pick-up line.

     Did it work?

       Naw, I don't swing that way. But I did ask him if it'd ever worked, and he admitted it hadn't.

       Actors!

   At right are two crappy photos I was able to snap before security told me to put away my camera.

   What the fuck is that shit? He's taking pictures on a public street. Fuck them.

   If you tried to pull that shit in DC, you'd get laughed at. Unless of course it was a US Govt. facility. Then you might earn a one way trip to a lush Caribbean island.

     Pictures of motion picture sets and scenery are intellectual property. Unauthorized photography counts as leaked pre-release information.

     Additionally, the city issues a street-usage permit to a production, and that permit allows them to control activity (and even passage) on that particular street. Anyone who has issues with the liberties taken by a fully-permitted production should take it up with the government agency that -granted- the production that permit.

     In simpler terms, the city told them they could do it. Take it up with the city.

   Is it strange that when I read the headline, I thought this was about Cuba?
