The top
21 March 2006
I met the proprietor of Say Cheese in Cole Valley the other day while I was drinking coffee in front of Reverie Cafe. We started talking about what we each do for a living, about Silicon Valley, about life in San Francisco. That's when he said something that made me love this city even more. "Yep, this place is pretty amazingly great," he said. "We live at the tip of the top of the tippety-top-top of the lunatic fringe." Except he let the word "lunatic" draw out way too far: "luuuuunatic." That's right. We live at the tip of the top of the tippety-top-top of the luuuuunatic fringe.
