Move aside Raygun documentary, the movie of the fall will be Nathan Fielder’s You Can See Everything. It’s apparently shocking, featuring hours of interviews with Elizabeth Holmes before she went to prison for defrauding investors with blood testing company Theranos.
Local film savant and CCC reader Jeremy T. is interested in hosting a watch party. Perhaps at one of the new theaters discussed in Sunday’s CCC?
Every time I learn more about Theranos, its employees trying to raise alarm bells, and the proceeding fallout, the story gets crazier. Maybe I’ll host a Bad Blood tour of Palo Alto for Halloween. Spooky!

“If anyone needs a 7500 sqft warehouse in San Francisco to host any sort of event or use case that requires a large industrial space for any amount of time please reach out. There are three.” - Daniel Siegel
We’re in a FIG CRISIS this year.
Arsicault barely made the cut on SF Chronicle’s croissant taste test (gasp!) Several little-known bakeries topped the list. This is important investigative journalism and tasting them all is the perfect addition to our SF Summer bucket list. In Arsicault’s loose defense, they’re known for their almond, not plain, croissants.
Ice cream events this weekend:
ACES Ice Cream is hosting a pop-up at Broc Cellars in Berkeley.
Grand Opening is now taking orders for ice cream sandwiches. Pickup on Friday and Saturday. Flavors are Strawberry and Burnt Vanilla ice creams in chocolate dacquoise and Caramelized Peach with Jasmine ice cream in black sesame dacquoise.
In national news, a group of former Washington Post journalists just launched The Washington Sun.
The 110-person newsroom, backed by Politico founder Robert Allbritton, has “embarked on a grand experiment to test whether there is a market in the nation’s capital for a publication that covers the local news, culture and sports that are the glue of any community. And we aim to prove that a general-interest publication combining national and local news can be viable in the 21st century.”
I believe in the longevity of local journalism, and am excited about new publications building business models based on digital distribution. Last week I wrote about Gazetteer SF, our new local paper.
If you’re interested in living in the Point Reyes Lighthouse, now’s your chance:
Talk to you Sunday!
I identify as a cafe person, not a bakery person. I still make an exception for Arsicault.
