In Issue Three! DJ impresario Josh Cheon (@darkentries.bsky.social) and punk polymath Brontez Purnell discuss growing up goth, San Francisco's dance parties, Dolores Park meet-cutes, archiving Patrick Cowley’s gay porn soundtracks, and maintaining the creative drive deep into their careers.

Pink background overlaid with text: "I would take the bus into New York by myself. Sometimes I would drag my girlfriends ... I just wanted someone to dance with and be there. And I would make them dress up, because they weren't goths. They played softball, but l'd be like, here, wear black and put on these fishnets."
JOSH CHEON IN CONVERSATION ISSUE THREE

Pink background overlaid with text: "Familiarity breeds both comfort and contempt but, I don't know, I have seen a fair share of the world at this point and I think that wherever one lives we are all picking our poison. I have decided for better or worse, this place is home."
BRONTEZ PURNELL IN CONVERSATION ISSUE THREE

By way of A Streetcar Named Desire and The Simpsons, Beatrice Kilat (@beatrick.bsky.social) weighs the risks and chances for love in her debut column: “Ask Bea.” She also considers the chihuahua. To read SOME GOOD ADVICE, order Issue Two here: sfrw.square.site/product/issu...

Tomato pink background with black outlined rectangles and black and blue text within:
Williams kept waiting to wake up feeling different and instead kept waking up as himself. In his wigged-out state, he drank and ate too much, behaved poorly, leaned into cynicism, withdrew from friends and the world at large.
Taunted by the now frictionless experience of his success, he left his home and found friction out in the world. You know, the joys and bothers and ‘stuff’ that happens when we let other people into our lives. Which is what reminded me of you.
Beatrice Kilat, Ask Bea

Do you need help? Ask Bea. Bea’s areas of expertise (ongoing): dogs money life, death closet space ceramics utensils kitchens time management having a drink putting it down want vs. need upkeep (general)

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

You've probably been hearing a lot of rumors about the Oakland Review of Books (ORB), but I'm here to assure you that no such thing exists. (Yet!) There is, however, this calendar of literary and other events in the East Bay for the coming week: oakland-review-of-books.ghost.io/the-oakland-...

In the East Bay it’s wildflower season and bird-nesting season, and also weed-pulling season. If you want to get out into the beautiful East Bay hills and explore, the East Bay Regional Park District ...

Sen. Cory Booker just entered hour 16 of his marathon magical girl transformation on the Senate floor. He has spent all night slowly spinning around in a field of twinkling stars and striking cool fashion poses. So far he has materialized one long opera glove and a silver tiara with topaz inlay.

Why does San Francisco dress like that? Beatrice Kilat (@beatrick.bsky.social) knows, and in “Everybody in Blundstones”—a sharp, gestural, historicizing, and fond work of observation that conjures a distinct image of the city—she explains. We think you’ll recognize this place.

Fanned cards outlined in green over a pink background. Text reads: You think you just decided to wear slip-on leather workboots one summer? You exist in the context of … well, you know. It started here. Image in San Francisco is always being crafted, honed, and made to express something—even the hippies had a tailor.
Beatrice Kilat, “Everybody in Blundstones”

Tilted white box over a gray and green dotted background. Text over the rectangle reads: [darker text] San Francisco Review [then in lighter text] of Goodbyes ... [and then in darker text] of fashion ... [and then back to lighter text] of Far Feelings ... of the Built Environment ... of Comics ...of Tennis ...of How a City Is ...of Books ...of Going Uphill ... of Clouds ... of Whatever

Contributors to our first issue write about leaving the Bay and coming back; know why SF dresses like that; describe the shape of tennis; check in from abroad; review the new Susan Stryker; push against the rectangle in public space; and discuss what it's like here, beneath the narratives. And more!
