Danger Ranger and the Friends of the Rootless Forest present the 20th Annual Post-Yule Pyre this Saturday, January 3rd. Meet at the Carousel Diner in San Francisco at 7:30pm.
An essential part of the city’s recycling program occurs each year at this time when the last stand of sidewalk Christmas trees is logged by Friends of the Rootless Forest and piled onto the beach for some very rapid decomposition.
Meet in front of the old Doggie Dinner building (now closed), 2750 Sloat Blvd. & 47th Ave. Bring a tree.
After our community service work is done, we will gather for drinks by the fireplace at the Riptide bar, 3639 Taraval St.

We’ll be there!
Dispite having to move Nimby across town this week. We still managed to hold the Fifth Annual Black Sheep X-mas Party at the new location. Please feel free to drop by and grab a tree or twenty. We have 250 trees to choose from and check out the new Nimby. After all you made it happen again. 8410 Amelia st Oakland CA. Thank you everyone.

Darn. I was hoping this was going to be a *Tyre* Christmas burn…
You’re calling this recycling ? I doubt there’s a faster way to release greenhousegasses into the atmosphere than by burning trees….
There is a lonely little tree looking to burn here:

Dear Rik,
Stop taking yourself so fucking seriously.
Carbon sequestration is a selfish hording of VOC’s and greenhouse gases. Immediate liberation of them serves the public good, makes the various carbon compounds available for relatively quick uptake and makes whinging chumpolas like yourself the fodder of many jokes – not to mention a general contempt for hypocrisy.
Are you a vegan or just a run-of-the-mill PC asshole?
Isn’t there usually a second Tree burn a week or so after ?
(that’s happened the last couple years)
I’m thinking this Sat. Jan. 10th …. anybody know ?
