Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I mean, this is an invisible Internet person! So, invisible Internet people, should I accept?

Yeah, but bloggers are a different kind of invisible person.

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....

Because books.

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!

It's a group right? I think there's some safety in numbers. Go for it.

Well, I'd be going with this guy, but they generally all meet up at these types of things from what I can tell from their blogs. But I assume I would do the "let's meet at the theatre" thing.

My axe-murderer suspicions have killed the thread!
