they were scared of the live band and kept hiding under the audience
Well, DUH!!
I have "hit by a bus" notes and emails out everywhere. I ended up writing up a lot for my old job when my job-sharing coworker was laid off and I had to give crash courses because I was scheduled for vacation the month he was laid off. Served me well when I had to train my replacement. And I trained her damned well, if I say so myself. I think we took the training wheels off within 6 weeks or so. And of course, with the new job, I've been writing everything down as I learn it from my predecessor because there is no way I can remember all this shit. I've made sure to save it in our common areas so it can be easily found.
I actually sent out an email Friday with the subject "if I get hit by a bus" because I was in the middle of a huge project launch and I really really really wish I could have stayed home, I was so miserable. And I wish I could skip tomorrow, but again, launch, I need to be the one to send out the initial status report. After that, I can just say "I'm dying of snot. Please go to xxx and follow the instructions there."
eta: D and the roomba crack me up.
Served Over: Rice a Roni.

The San Francisco Treat™!
Indeed. And those commercials were my first impression of SF. Followed by: The Doris Day Show, The Streets of San Francisco, Dirty Harry, Phyllis (the Mary Tyler Moore spinoff) and My Sister Sam.
Also, the woman who sang that jingle did the female vocals on the Partridge Family Albums. Shirley Jones did the vocals on the TV show, but not on the albums.
The Streets of San Francisco
Oh man, young Michael Douglas and Karl Malden.
And what, no Bullitt?
Shirley Jones did the vocals on the TV show, but not on the albums.
They thought Shirley Jones was too rock 'n roll, and they wanted someone more accessible?
And what, no Bullitt?
Oh yeah, I saw that in college. Add it to the list.

They thought Shirley wasn't rock and roll enough for the albums. But it would be weird to dub her on TV when she had a world famous musical theater voice.

A gay friend of ours from Columbus moved to San Francisco and signed all his emails like this.

I'm trying to think what formed my opinions of Chicago. John Hughes movies? The Blues? Freebie and the Bean? Was that in Chicago? Saul Bellow.
