I wish Fort Mason weren't such a PITA to get to.

It's a bit of a stretch and redundant to call it the "first San Francisco professional premiere."

How about we change the wording to please the "legends" on here. Apologies for the misuse of the words. Point taken.

There should be a hyphen between "locally" and "mounted."

I guess I'll never be the editor working in LizzieCurry's office. Thanks for the grammatical correction. Now I can go hurl myself off the pier.
