      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu               Not reformatted because I'm sorry, I'm just too overloaded to       get to it:              San Francisco - 2 May 2007 - Robin Williams, The Glide Ensemble       Or what is technically a 1600-sqaure-mile estuary consisting of       several       sub-bays!              And now the audience is bringing signs! And foam Mervs!              String Dance! Conan lies down to go to sleep.              Conologue:        - The Orpheum is San Francisco's finest theater in its 25th       finest neighborhood. Foam hair: and they say our country doesn't       manufacture anything anymore. San Francisco has nicknames: The Golden       Gate City, the City By the Bay, or Conan's favorite, LA With Books.       Orlando Sepeda was arrested for posession of marijuana and what       appeared       to be cocaine; he insists it was medical marijuana and medical       cocaine.       The Orpheum was built in 1926; back then, a cup of coffee was a       nickel,       the cable car a dime, and studio apartment rent only $4,000. You're       not       allowed to call someone a bum, unless you're talking about Charles       Barkley. Conan just realized they're Trump wigs. The annual Oyster       and       Beer Fest is this month, setting the stage for next month's Raw Egg       and       Jaeger Fest. There are 13 candidates for mayor against Mayor Newsom;       he       said he's looking forward to debating all the candidates and nailing       their wives.                     Conan's got something he has to do:        - He runs out and turns a cable car around, and starts it       going.        By hand.                     Sponsorship by Intel and Sam Wo's Restaurant.                     Conan makes a commercial for Sam Wo:        -It's all happening at Sam Wo's! They really got it for you!              Enter through the kitchen! It'll have you saying wo! Pork Intestines       just $4.50! Kids love the Sam Wo Mystery Room! Remember the Sam Wo       Promise, all natural light is blocked by fluorescent lights! Martha       Stewart agrees!                     The Transgender Transamaerica Tower:        - Is driving a Trans Am! License plate HE-SHE.                     Conan in Napa Valley:        - It's gorgeous. Brian is here to talk to us; he was       wandering       around with a half-empty bottle of sauvignon blanc and two glasses.       He's having an intervention. Brian takes a sip, and spits the rest       out,       so you can get the flavor without intoxication. Conan swallows it by       accident a couple times, then manages to spit. Clumsily.                - Ron is the vineyard manager, one of those guys who tastes       soil       to see if it's good. Can he tell when Brian's spit on it? 1974 Swiss       Army Troop Transport; six-wheel drive and goes anywhere. What does       the       Swiss Army need vehicles for? They crash the truck. Maybe he got too       excited by the celebrity. Maybe he needs a drink. Surely the Swiss       can       send over a Swiss tractor. (I couldn't make out what Ron said about       keeping his eye and talents when he explained what was wrong.) They       have American tractors. USA, USA, USA!                - How do flower clusters turn into grapes? They're       self-pollinating. Sounds like Conan in college.                - In the Wine Cave with Jack. Ron grows the grapes; Jack       makes       the wine; Brian drinks the wine, in the field, and weeps. This is a       barrel; this is a thing Conan will have to use when he's 80. Put it       in       the bung hole, with dirty music. They'll read the transcript back at       the trial. COnan lifts a sample of wine out.                - When Jack is at someone else's and invited to wine ... he's       controlling. This is why he's not invited much, and why he lives in a       cave. This barrel needs more wine. The acoustics are fantastic;       Conan       plays guitar. Brian, Ron, and Jack drink.                - The Tasting Room: Conan dresses as Hef. Sauvignon blanc: a       lovely, crisp wine from France. Let's taste. Conan brought his own       tasting glass; it's the size of Steve Martin. COnan gets a       double-glass       'beer hat' for the red. Conan goes in the field with a ton of red,       and       spits it around. Eventually, he runs out, and passes out in the       meadow.                                   Late NIght San Francisco Small Talk Moment:        - Max's take on the plastic shopping bag ban? He has a       metaphor       in asking the goth kid at the specific record store for Nicklebag       albums. Conan wants to buy everyone a tacquerito.                     Robin Williams:        - Williams climbs the Golden Gate model; the audience urges       him       to jump. He does not. It's handy for people considering suicide.       Wiliams suggests China will buy it. Or they could use it to repair       Oakland. Market Street is like 42nd Street without Disney. Sticky       seats. He starts doing accents, then advises the existence of       Boystown       and a bar, Moby Dick, take your chance. Knob Hill, and then Sam Wo's,       giving Williams a fresh excuse to do his 'Chinese' voice, and then on       to       insulting Martha Stewart. Williams points out the Irish bars. He       claims Irish songs always start depressing and turn chipper.                - Williams is fascinated with the show 'The Planet Earth', and       goes onto mating dances. This goes to preying mantises and turtles as       pets. Before long, Williams is howling in the mode he always gets       into.        'License to Wed': a priest harasses a copule before they wed. He       compares Catholic priesthood to being trapped in a box and forced to       listen to secrets you wouldn't read in Penthouse. He's a zany priest       who brings the a Roy Combs touch to the Baltimore Catechism.                     Pierre Bernard!        - He's been trekking up and down the hills. It's starting to       show: he has Popeye legs. Welcome Pierre and his Overdeveloped Hills       of       San Francisco calves!                     The Glide Ensemble:        - Couldn't tell what they were singing. I had to keep turning       the volume down lest it wake Dad.              Conan starts signing signs: ``I Love Conan'' and ``I Like Conan (As A       Friend)''. Good in modest bits bit do be careful. This way lies Jay       Leno ...              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
