Just wrote my letter in support of Chicken John's conditional use permit for Chez Poulet. If you're so inclined, please consider writing a letter and/or showing up at the hearing:
"If you can write a letter before 10:00 am (Thurs, November 2) that would be great. I have to print them all out and give them to the commissioners.
ANYONE WHO CAN COME NOV 2 TO SHOW SUPPORT WOULD BE GREAT.
2:00 in room 400, SF City Hall. It's gonna be a good show!
Write a letter! Send it to:

Dear President Hillis:
I've lived in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1990, and I've known John Rinaldi since 2009, when he and his crew helped create the first Ephemerisle festival:

I wish to express the strongest possible support for Mr. Rinaldi in his efforts to permit Chez Poulet, his art gallery / performance space / community center in the Mission district.
Chez Poulet has served as the incubation chamber / lair / mad scientist's laboratory for such art pieces as
* a life size recreation of Heironymous Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delight's in the form of a street parade
* Camp Tipsy, an art boat building festival
* Fallen Cosmos [indescribable, yet really cool interactive, multidisciplinary art event]
* All World's Fair - a fair at the intersection of all possible worlds in time and space
It's also a very nice place to hold a wedding.
It would a great shame if of the few remaining art performances spaces in San Francisco were to wink out of existence. Therefore, I implore you to take the steps necessary to make sure that Chez Poulet continues to be a wellspring of art and wonder for present and current San Francisco residents.
Thank-you for your consideration,
Christopher Rasch
