SFBP - Posing With Our Prize

Last night Moses Grubb and Spy Emerson hosted a Speakeasy at Ritual Roasters in San Francisco’s Mission District. The event, a fundraiser for Swimming Cities of Serenissima, was abruptly brought to an end as agents from the San Francisco Bureau of Prohibition raided the joint, guns blazing. I managed to capture it on video as it all went down.

Yeah, we shot her, but that Boozehound Bettie had it comin. It’s about time this city learns that rampant hoochmongering leads to insanity, dancing, and inter-height dating.

This is the kind of thing that makes cops very nervous!

Many years ago some college students dressed as gangsters (the old style) staged a fake “hold up” of a downtown business. Our local college didn’t have anything like a “character day” again for decades! And this was way back in the days when we weren’t on a constant yellow-ish orange alert.

But, funny. The best line: “Even the dogs!”
