Hey, any BADs up for seeing Lewis Black in a coupla weeks? He’ll be at the Punchline Comedy Club in downtown San Francisco, December 12-14 (Thu-Sat). Showtimes are 9 PM Thu-Sat and 11 PM Fri/Sat. Ticket are $15 each. He’ll likely sell out, so buy your ticket as soon as you can. The club itself is in the Embarcadero Center, off Market Street, easily accessible by BART and Muni, and oddly enough, there always seems to be street parking within five blocks. Let’s figure out what show would be best to go to, time-wise. Respond here, or IM me on AIM with this name. Hope to see y’all here. Here’s the relevant URL: [http://sfx.com/artist.asp?artistid=14347](http://sfx.com/artist.asp?artistid=14347) ---

I don’t have any interest in seeing Lewis Black, but I’d love to get together beforehand with anyone who wants to have dinner or drinks. Thursday and Saturday work best for me. ---

I think I might end up being the opposite- going to the show but skipping the bars, since I’m not 21 yet. 😉 Oh, and if anyone wants a (legal) audio sample of Lewis Black’s stuff, just ask me. ---

[Here](http://sfx.com/venue.asp?venueID=1555&show=MAP&zoom=8)’s the location. Battery between Clay and Washington, quite close to California and Market. ---

There are places in the Embarcadero that have both. (You need to get out to more places than Giants games!) 😉 ---

Once again, I’ve got a conflict, but it’s good to see a BAD post (it seems like it’s been awhile). Have fun everyone! AG ---

Neeener, neener, neeeeeeener! Hmm, so so far it’s me, Troy and Tars? Everyone rustle up your BAD friends, eh? I know these guys don’t want to get stuck with just me for 2 hours. ---

I’m up for it. Count me in for the crowd that’s largely uninterested in the show but always up for food and drink. I’m working that Saturday, though. So, as much as I despise this behavior in my friends, I’m gonna pull an “I’ll-go-if-you-go” trick on this one. If there’s a real fest goin’s-on, I’m there. But if it’s gonna be mostly centered around the show, I’ll take a rain check and wait for the next BAD train to come along. ---

I’d rather hang out and talk with BADs instead of seeing a show together. ---

Oh snap, I need soap too. Holidays and all. I didn’t think of that. So, like, if enough people are willing to come out just to kick it instead of going to the show, I’ll try and get off my lazy butt too. ---

I would rate my likelihood of attending to be 75%. Lewis Black is quite funny, if I’m recalling who he is correctly. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Demo \* > \*\*I’d rather hang out and talk with BADs instead of seeing a show together. \*\* Maybe those of us who just want to meet should get together earlier, say 7? Then the people coming to the show can come around nine and continue on from there. That would probably make a nice overlap without anyone getting too worn out or sloppy, haha. Any ideas on the place? For all ages in the center itself we have: Chevy’s, Unos, and an Italian place called Fuzio, which is pretty good and makes a nice change of pace. (There might be others, but that’s what I’m familiar with.) (PS, I have a sales booth at my friend’s church xmas bazaar on Sunday the 15th, so if you need anything let me know at least a few days before hand so I don’t have it all packed up and hard to get to. Anyone wishing to come directly to the “sale” and shop in person on Sunday is more than welcome to. Email me for the details.)
