Do they have some sort of festival near Richmond every year?

I'm not very familiar with Richmond, except to not be there long. It's
mostly a pretty bad neighborhood. Pt. Richmond is still nice, but is
pretty gentrified at this point. Still some good restaurants.

A shipmate and I were on the Bart when a black fellow pulled a knife
on me. My buddy sitting a few rows back had won a big thick brass gong
at the festival. He saw what was happening and slamed the gong into
the guys head. We had to hold him 2-3 stations until we found a BART
cop to take him. Man thoses were the good ol days, we were docked in
Oakland. My bro was there on the USCG cutter Sherman WHEC 720 in
Almeda. Heard the Sherman just brought in a record load of cocaine...
30 tons or something like that. San Francisco is really cool town to
visit.

I was on BART a week ago when this crackhead chick starts screaming on
her cell phone, really cussing out the person on the other end for
hanging up on her, except... we were in the tunnel.. no reception.
Anyway, she's going on and on, and finally a woman sitting near her
says, hey, maybe you don't realize it but there's no reception in the
tunnel. Then the crackhead lights into her with some pretty nasty
words. The woman paled and tried to ignore her. After a few stops, we
came to the second to the end of the line stop. This black guy who was
listening to his ipod, finally had enough, walked up to the crackhead
and said, "You... f*ckin crack ho. Shut you up er al slap you damn
ass. Can't f*ckin listin my tunes cause you, ya f*ck." He was standing
right over her. Man, that shut her up. She just slinked away.

Ah yes, the benign Bay Area, full of sweet, harmonious liberals who just
want to love everyone and get along. g

Yeah, the illegal Mexican and white guy (me) were too afraid to say
anything. :-)


No doubt that crackhead chick could have handled both of you with one hand
tied behind her back and her cell phone in the other.
