Has Flicks, Hillcrest’s original video bar
created in 1983 by Larry Gillis, changed
 its focus to an S/M bar? Or is their new
 signage to be blamed on a blustery breeze?


Does anyone else see a
 sumbliminal message here?

SDLGBT Pride BenchSan Diego Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) Pride has extended its submission deadline until Friday, May 6 for a photo contest that focuses on a recently installed bench in Balboa Park commemorating the organization. The contest gives participants a chance at winning passes to this year’s festival and more. Winning photographs will also be featured in this year’s Pride Program.

The rules are simple. Search and locate the Pride bench along the walkway by the Timken Museum of Art and then creatively incorporate it into a digital or regular hardcopy photograph. The bench can not be moved or marked in anyway. This bench was purchased by San Diego LGBT Pride and given to the city last year as a show of appreciation for its support. It features a brass plate inset of the Pride logo and a dedication plaque to the San Diego community.

Five photos will be selected and displayed on Pride’s web site. Winners will receive a pair of weekend passes to this summer’s Pride festival, plus a T-shirt and hat. Photos may be e-mailed or sent by regular mail to: Photo Contest, P.O. Box 34352, San Diego, CA, 92163. Hurry...get creative! Win GREAT stuff...

Mayor Dick
Mayor Dick gained national attention today
as four-million copies of the popular Time Magazine
hit the streets after selecting him as one of the
Top Three Worst Mayors in America. Good job!

You make us sooooo proud.
Dick blames Mike.
He thinks our City Attorney is behind the story.
(surprised?)

One thing is for sure...
a majority of San Diegans agree with the article.
Take a surveyhere’s another. He’s failing locally, too.
The mayor says this article is hard on his family.
Perhaps it’s time for him to resign...instead of being recalled.

Today’s vote for council president (under the strong-mayor transition) has been put on hold.
