Video of the week: Dock Ellis and the LSD No-No

An entertaining story to get your new year started right!

The late Dock Ellis, a pitcher for the Pirates, is famous for pitching a no-hitter in 1970 while under the influence of LSD. James Bladgen created this video for No Mas which retells the story in a hilarious way. The real Dock Ellis is narrating.

This just shows us that anyone can overcome hardship. Even when it means pitching in the major leagues after "getting confused" about your day off. Enjoy the new year everyone! And stay away from hallucinogens!

Video of the week: San Francisco (1905)

And we're back! You know how it goes with our crazy busy San Franciscan lives! Not like any of you loyal readers are expecting an explanation...

My dad sent me this amazing motion picture; looks to be taken from the F train in our very own San Francisco. It's driving down Market St. towards the famous Ferry Building. I think one of these huge buildings on the left is now an Urban Outfitters or Forever 21, which is really strange. Anyway, enjoy this piece of history with the perfect soundtrack. Thanks Dad!
