Editor's Letter
Theorist Matthew Arnold refers to culture as "the best that has been thought and said in the world.” Maybe this guy has a point, but I think we all know culture isn’t that easy to define. And we’re not even going to try.

On Stike! Shut it Down...Please
It was a watershed moment for student activism at SF State, a far cry from the activism of students in 1968 who walked out of classes for five months. That was the longest student strike in U.S. history. It ousted two university presidents and in the end forced administration officials to meet students' “non-negotiable” demands.

Sunday Service
It’s the crack of dawn on Sunday morning and the line at the EndUp's door bends around the corner at Harrison and Sixth Streets. Some look great in their tight jeans and stylish sunglasses; others look spent from a long night of drugs and alcohol. But on this morning, it isn’t looks or style that have people lined up at the front door. It’s Church.

PickUp 101
With sweaty palms and over-heightened nerves, Brandon Jones* musters up every ounce of courage to walk over to the two brunettes nursing overpriced drinks at the Matrix, Fillmore in the Marina. He sports the generic male going-out uniform: button-up striped long-sleeved shirt and faded jeans. But as he opens his mouth to spout an equally generic line, a case of verbal diarrhea ruins any hope he has of impressing these women. Just another night as an average frustrated chump.

How Thinking Globally Translates to Eating Locally
John Castagnetto stands in the fields of celery and mint in front of his purple house looking every inch the farmer. Tanned and handsome with dark chocolate-colored eyes, he laughs as he talks about the six-foot long Italian squashes he grows as a hobby. He wears a buttoned-up flannel shirt, jeans, a baseball cap and drives a blue pickup truck.

The Unconventional Conventionalists
As the witching hour approaches on Saturday night, Bay Area misfits gather outside the Parkway Cinema in Oakland for a taste of their favorite cult movie experience, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." The air is filled with the heavy scent of cloves as bodies clad in fishnets, corsets and black leather line up against the brick wall, eager to be let inside the theater.

Show Me The Money
San Francisco is a town of extreme disparity. In 2005, there are 20,000 homes in the Bay Area worth more than $1 million, and by last count, 6,248 people sleeping on the streets or in shelters each night. Unfortunately for the wealthy in San Francisco, the ability to ignore that reality is not for sale.

T'Shaka Tales
The SF State Strike was the first of its kind, bringing the first Black Studies Department ever known to any four-year college, followed by an Ethnic Studies department. The strike also paved the way for other four-year universities across the U.S. to start up black studies departments on their campuses.

Raunch Party
These days, women buy porn, go to strip clubs, get Brazilian (all the way) and Playboy (landing strip) waxes, wear Hustler and Playboy T-shirts and talk openly about sex. This is raunch culture, where women are no longer sexual objects, and no longer simply the hunted. Now, men don't have to twist women's arms to get them naked and in front of a camera.

Bootylicious and Loving It
" I like big butts and I cannot lie." This phrase, coined by the incomparable Sir Mix-A-Lot in the early '90s, has become a lot more than just a song lyric. It has evolved into a cultural phenomenon. Since voluptuous stars like Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce and Jessica Alba have taken over Hollywood, it seems like having a "phat" ass is no longer a bad thing: big butts are must-have items.

Don't Forget Your Loser Lid
Riding down sunny and bustling Valencia Street on my new bike behind my new boyfriend, I have plenty of reasons to be distracted. Before I know it, I’m heading face-first toward the asphalt, backed up by a soundtrack of clanking metal and the empathetic exclamations of bystanders.

Fixie or Forget It
Maurice Lee rarely leaves his apartment alone. Trusty sidekick in tow, he saunters his mid-1970s Falcon Track Bike down the stuffy hallway before he lifts its 10-pound steel frame and descends a flight of green-carpeted steps. No sooner do its wiry tires hit the lobby’s deco-patterned linoleum than Lee mounts his mare.

Only in San Francisco
San Francisco: the irreverent capital of the world. Where else can one attend a baseball game, a war protest and a sex festival all in the same day? Where else could a citywide marathon become a costume party? Where else could the main tourist attractions be a closed prison, a crooked street and a bridge?

Not in My Front Yard
“Twilight” is a homeless man in his 30s who’s been living in Golden Gate Park for years. He talks about standing outside a bakery on Haight Street asking people for change. What strikes him most is not the fact that passersby don't respond to his request, but that they won't even react to his presence.

Is San Francisco a Poor-Friendly City?
The wind blows through untrimmed eucalyptus trees that hang over the cream and blue public housing units. A young black man in a white, black and red T-shirt that reads “Stop Snitchin! Snitches Get Stitches” strolls back and forth in front. Cans, plastic bags and bits of paper rustle around the barren dirt and weed-filled lawn that shines like diamonds from scattered shards of glass.
