Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So, I started this (mostly culture) blog awhile back and a few fellow neighborhood bloggers found it pretty quickly and now one has just invited me to a thing (a preview of Philip Glass's Orphée) where I could meet some other bloggers I read. I'm flattered, excited, and a little creeped out. I mean, this is an invisible Internet person! So, invisible Internet people, should I accept?

You should! Boldly go where other axe murder victims bold go-ers see opera with strangers!

Yeah, but bloggers are a different kind of invisible person.
How crazy can they be listening to Philip Glass?
Er....
I should note, these are all opera and classical music fans that live in my neighborhood (which is close to the opera house and the symphony hall). The Philip Glass thing, I don't know, but I would love to see an adaptation of Orphée. They are pretty cliquey so I have an it's-an-honor-just-to-be-nominated sort of feeling. Plus, I meet no one new. But then there's that axe-murderer feeling buried down deep.

It's not the kind of crazy that leads to axe murdering. At least not yet....
But they probably wouldn't murder you *at* the opera, megan. So there's that!

Well, it is in the Tenderloin!
Nestled between successful commercial areas and high priced residential areas, parts of the Tenderloin have historically resisted gentrification, maintaining a seedy character and reputation for crime. Squalid conditions, homelessness, crime, illegal drug trade, prostitution, liquor stores, and strip clubs give the neighborhood a seedy reputation.
The Tenderloin is a high crime neighborhood, particularly violent street crime such as robbery and aggravated assault. Seven of the top ten violent crime plots (out of 665 in the entire city as measured by the San Francisco Police Department) are adjacent plots in the Tenderloin and Sixth and Market area.

OMG, yes! Go!
