Conversation about: Wilco descends on Mondavi Center; Shins, Florence next

I'm going to this show because I love Wilco, but holy cow: $60...I'd personally like to see a more affordable venue.

Conversation about: MidLife GridLife - So Many Men

Yes, this lowers the bar quite a bit.

Conversation about: The Occupy movement struggles to resonate within the black community

Has OWS or OS not seen "that these same barriers have limited blacks and other Latinos from gaining a advantage before the economic crisis hit"? I don't think so. It seems as if the movement and protests are open to everyone, but if ANY group is looking for a special invite, they will be disappointed.

Conversation about: Thousands support UC Davis students; Katehi speech fails to move crowd

As someone who grew up in Davis and lived there for many years, I have to note that the UCD Police are one step above a mall cop: overfed, overpaid, and overzealous clowns. These guys spend the majority of there time ticketing people for bike infractions and chasing drunk undergraduates in a sleepy college town, and act like extras from an episode of SWAT. By the way, the officer in question, Lt. Pike, gets paid $100,000 a year to perform these difficult duties.

Walking with a CAIN? I'm glad she was ABEL.

Conversation about: Alleyways of Sacramento receive names, part four

For Pete's sake, how about some maps or at least very specific descriptions (e.g. "between 13th and 14th streets from P to S Streets") or something? I shouldn't have to puzzle this out!

Conversation about: Ask the County Law Librarian-Bicycles and Sidewalks

Ah, yes. The usual smug anti-bike blowhardery. My experience is that drivers get hostile any time someone -- on a bike or on foot -- gets in the way of their precious Happy Motoring, and act out like spoiled children. I have been commuting by bike for 30 years and it never ceases to amaze me that there are people who want to insist that all bike riders are brazen scofflaws. I drive, and I bike, and there are generally the same number of inconsiderate, rule breaking jerks in both camps. The difference is that one is driving a 5000-pound machine that can kill.

Conversation about: Crocker Art Museum $100 million expansion: one year later

That building is BUTT-UGLY and is a mutilation of the existing structure. It looks like some klutz stuck the headquarters of a pharmaceutical firm on the old building. It is a joke.

Conversation about: Firestone Public House to open in February

Seems like there are ample hipster/dive bars around...and while I'm unlikely to patronize a sports bar, not sure what Yippee would rather see, since he was not specific.

Conversation about: Council gives go ahead for study of 'neighborhood friendly' river crossings

I hope you're just kidding. Sacramento has already been mutilated enough by freeways.

Because it's egregious?

It's Greg Hayes, not Chris Haynes.

Why not revise the line?

Conversation about: New Summer Concert Series

Lose the watermarks on the pictures. They are awful.

Conversation about: DWB: OK, breathe

No one should trust the Maldouches. They pissed away their fortune, and now want Sacramento to help bail them out. What a farce.

Conversation about: More bicycle access coming to downtown

Great news. The more bike lanes, the more bicyclists and less cars.
