Olympian-Built Urban Ski Jump!

ByStephanie Block November 10, 2005July 9, 2013

A ski jump on one of San Francisco’s steepest hills? Brilliant! And what better way to celebrate Olympian Jonny Moseley’s 30th birthday! Co-sponsored by the Norwegian Consulate General, Icer Air 2005, though controversial with posh Pacific Heights neighbors, was awesome!!! 10 skiers and 10 snowboarders were invited to compete, and although temperatures shot up to a bizarre 85 degrees that day, snowboarder JJ Thomas and skier CR Johnson reigned supreme after 3 mind-boggling jumps. You gotta hit this next year!

Both Sides of the Blade, Love Triangle Film Starring Juliette Binoche
ByLynn Friedman
Both Sides of the Blade, screened at the San Francisco International Film Festival, is the latest film by multi-award winning French director Claire Denis. This film is very, very, very French, meaning, it’s a slow burn. You will not get the familiar story arcs or happy ending, rather a slice of life where it is…

ByJanice Nieder

I thought it was going to be another dumb, touristy ride and really thought I knew most everything about San Francisco. WRONG…and on so many levels.It turned out to be the most fun I’ve had on dry land…
