Pirate Cat Radio, Week Four, with Chicken John

Hello radio fans,

Tonight on A Season In Hell, with John Hell, I'm pleased to have our future runner up for the SF mayor's race, Chicken John Rinaldi. He'll be bringing his whimsy down to the Pirate Cat Radio studios in the 9 o'clock hour to talk all things mayor, art, innovation, greenwashing (just what exactly is that anyway?), and to burn the many early, or not burn the man early, what is the question?

Check out his website http://voteforchicken.com He calls me a legend. Ha!

Tune in on the radio in SF and LA at 87.9 FM, in Berlin 104.8FM (Guten Abend Berlin), and online at http://piratecatradio.com

Chicken John Will Get The Matching Funds

Hello world, this is Lev (suddenly Chicken's campaign manager and co-conspirator). I have some incredible news to share. 

You, the great collective you of the Chickensphere, heeded our plea for help. We've spent the last 24 hours hitting up everybody we know, watching the total inch toward the magic number and wracking our brains about who to call next and how to make it happen. Aleta, Goddess of the Spreadsheet, worked like a Hero of Soviet Socialist Labor to get all the scraps of paper, checks, Paypal contributions and loose change together. And in the 59th minute of the 11th hour, you came through and brought us over the top, to a grand total of $26,371.21 in eligible San Francisco contributions for Chicken's race for mayor. That's the documented sum of money that we brought to the Campaign Office at 4:45 this afternoon.... you should have seen us, racing down Van Ness in the limo VW bus, folders crammed with arcane documents and forms, sweating, exhausted, Rob Levy driving like a maniacal cabby to get us there on time. We scrambled up the steps into the warren of offices... and met the press! Reporters from the San Francisco dailies were there, waiting for us like it's the Bay to Breakers finish line. Read in the news tomorrow, baby. As far as we know, only Tony Hall also made the cut, but he's Republican or Republican-like... so in reality, it's Chicken vs. Gavin on November 8!

Awesome fundraising event: Monday night, 6PM at the SUNSET HOUSE

From our next Mayor, Chicken John 

On the corner of 25th street and Alabama, in San Francisco's Mission district is a building. It's actually an idea. An idea whose time may just have come. It may actually be early. This idea of a building is called: the Sunset House.

A bit more Chicken for your dinner

If you haven't seen the SF Guardian today, or if you don't live in SF, you may wish to click on the image that graced page 19. A full page ad costs $1500. It looks better in color.

I think Newsom would be wise to take Chicken up on this offer. It will just lead to a more jovial election cycle. And lord knows, SF needs more jovial election cycles.

If the image does not enlarge, click here to see a large version of it.

Mayor vs. Mayor To Be

Today, over on Cat 3(cubed), Colin Fahrion began a Chicken John vs. Gavin Newsom blog. He lines them up to show who's the better politician for the 21st century. I'd give away the ending, but I wouldn't want to ruin all your fun. He promises to keep it up through the campaign.

I believe the prize goes to Chicken, but I'll leave it to you to see the results. 

Take a look at Chicken's site, and watch the video, where matthew J. Harman portrays Chicken, showing you how exactly to get Chicken on the ballot.

Tastes Like Chicken

Photo by Scott Beale of laughingsquid.com

If you haven't heard thee news, San Francisco's own Chicken John is running for mayor of our fine city. His goal is to inject more whimsy into our tired little burg. Take a look at today's SF Chronicle for the front page story. Or you can take a look on line right now, right here.

I'm helping with the campaign, so see this page for regular updates on the run, events, etc.

 

If you would like to volunteer for the historic mayoral run, email me at chickenformayor@yahoo.com

The Dr. Hal Show Live from 12 Galaxies

Dr. Hal
2006-10-11 21:00
The award-winning Ask Dr. Hal show is an interactive intellectual salon in which you, the audience, have the opportunity to consult the omniscient and oracular Dr. Hal Robins on life's eternal questions and trivial minutiae. The show is set to the frenetic soundscapes of the SF Weekly's Best Audio and Visual Collagist of 2005, KROB, and the pertinent visual puns of Yo-Yo King David Capurro. All orchestrated and moderated from on high by surly showman Chicken John, former proprietor of San Francisco's infamous Odeon Bar.
