HOW WEIRD @ NIGHT
8pm to 2am – Sunday May 13, 2012

The fun doesn’t stop when the faire ends, it just moves indoors to three very nice locations right at the faire site, and one a few blocks away. Beyond officially weird, How Weird @ Night is our main fundraiser for the faire to help keep it going. So stay out to support the faire, and have more fun.
This year’s after party is at: Temple Nightclub, 111 Minna Gallery, Harlot, and Monarch. Each venue is only $10 each (or $2 off with the Magic Sticker).
The after parties are 21 and over with ID. Magic Stickers are only available at the gates during the faire. There will be ins and outs at all three clubs throughout the evening.
So have a delicious dinner at the faire during the day. And remember, though it may be warm and sunny during the day, it could be a little cool at night, so dress appropriately.

TAKE BACK YOUR POWER Rally and Protest Planned to Greet PG&E
Shareholders Next Week
Petition with 3000 signatures against Smart Meter Opt Out Fees to be Presented
Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) is a company with a long history of
exchanging public health and safety for private income and profit.
This is more true than ever before, after the preventable and
deadlycatastrophic explosion hit San Bruno, the nightmarish risks of
nuclear power and climate change, and the catastrophic effects of the
"smart grid" which has hit communities all over California hard- in
the checkbook, decimating our privacy, risking national security,
damaging our health, and risking deadly fires. Then they charge us a
fee to "opt out."
Who's really in charge here anyway?
On May 14th, PG&E's shareholders will hold their annual meeting at the
company's downtown SF headquarters to hear about their increasing
profits at our expense (17% increase in quarterly profit).  Tired of
the threats, intimidation, extortion and abuse?  How much more will
you take California?
It's time to TAKE BACK OUR POWER from corporate greed.
It's time to TAKE BACK OUR POWER from PG&E.
Voge Smith, who started a petition demanding that PG&E drop the opt
out fees, will attend and present her petition- which is expected to
have over 3000 signatures by Monday.  Stop Smart Meters! will also
present a list of nearly 400 people who are pledging to refuse to pay
the fees.
Protest outside and let your voice be heard- if you are a PG&E
shareholder, go inside and confront management with the crimes they
are committing.  We need to MAKE SOME NOISE.
Protest will be held at PG&E Headquarters 77 Beale St. in San
Francisco 9am Monday May 14th  More details:

June 6 2012 Transits of Venus
Transits of Venus across the disk of the Sun are among the rarest of planetary alignments. Indeed, only six such events have occurred since the invention of the telescope (1631, 1639, 1761, 1769, 1874 and 1882). The next transit of Venus will occur on 2012 June 06.
The principal events occurring during a transit are characterized by contacts. The event begins with contact ...I which is the instant when the planet's disk is externally tangent with the Sun. The entire disk of the Venus is first seen at contact II when the planet is internally tangent with the Sun. During the next several hours, Venus gradually traverses the solar disk at a relative angular rate of approximately 4 arc-min/hr. At contact III, the planet reaches the opposite limb and is once again internally tangent with the Sun. The transit ends at contact IV when the planet's limb is externally tangent to the Sun. Contacts I and II define the phase called ingress while contacts III and IV are known as egress. Greatest transit is the instant of minimum angular separation between Venus and the Sun as seen from Earth's geocenter...

I estimate Bay to Breakers in May is 50,000 people. PRIDE is 10,000 people? 
Michael Franti / Spearhead / Power to the Peacefull 2nd Saturday in September is ? 10,000
Get to wharf early to avoid traffic.
One way to count people: look at a map the USA = 50 people. Look at a crowd. How many 50s do you see?
Another way to count people: Look at a 10 x 10 display of items. That is 100. How many 100s do you see in crowd?

)'( Last year BM Tix on Craiglist started out HIGH and ended up going at face value before the event
RELAX. You are safe enough to ASSUME you are going. Plenty folk asked for more tix than they needed to cover their friends / family / camps.
You might post a Tix ad in the WANTED section of CL 
http://sfbay.craigslist.org with fun creative text of who you are, once a week if you are bored, or try different text each time.
also List trades or OFFERS of what you will exchange in the SIGNATURE of your EMAIL
speaking of TRADES take a look at http://sfbay.craigslist.org/bar
perhaps you can ask for what you want; perhaps stop saying oh I'm fine each time a friend or stranger asks how you are doing. Instead answer that you seek a BM ticket then repeat your offers or trades. Let your friends be your angels and matchmakers. :)

Note if you offered BM $390 your ran in all 3 races. If $320 then 2 races. if $240 then only 1 race hence the % spread...

Possible interpretation of BM ticketing process (spreadsheet)
Realizing that the BM ticketing process results are a bit of a conundrum, I had a rough and ready shot at building a spreadsheet (with a glass of wine, you understand) to try to gauge the probabilities of winning tickets. With a few basic assumptions (and assuming the process worked in the same way as advertized), a few rather interesting results emerge whch seem to be about we are seeing. Of course, it would have been more predictive to do this before we had some results so I couldn't fix the assumptions (accidentally or inadvertently), but oh well!
Rough probabilities of winning a ticket at all seem to be:
If you bid $240, 14%
If you bid $320, 41%
If you bid $390, 95%
I could be quite wrong, of course. There do seem to be some results on our yahoogroups and on our facebook page "SiliconVillageBurners" that seem to correlate with this a little bit. You be the judge. More results, the spreadsheet and an explanation can be found at our new webpage http://www.siliconvillageburners.org Hope useful.
