Not just San Francisco. As noted below even in South Carolina, yes South Carolina. A lot of people do not realize that the 3 major cities in SC (Charleston, Greenville and Columbia) are extremely progressive for the most part at least in city limits, you go out into the surrounding areas you're on your own!

That's really cool - I've never seen that site before.  Yes, it is much more well-lit than I remember it being, though I had been in there in the mid-afternoon once or twice - for reasons which now elude me.

The last MOJO (Magazine) has a list of the 100 best rock movies/docs, and is a fun read. Also available in the US
 

I never saw it this well-lit, that's for sure.

It was pretty foul in the stairwell because I think most people just never made it all the way to the actual toilet before they began involuntarily expelling bodily substances all over the place.
 
In a nod toward equality of some sort, a lot of San Francisco nightclub/bar bathrooms were unisex. Which led to a strange pickup line, "I promise I didn't piss on the seat."

You haven't lived until you have been to a club with only one bathroom. No no no, ONE bathroom.

I'll have to check that out.  The bathroom wasn't that disgusting, compared to most rock clubs back then.

Oh... Kewl!  Thanks for the heads-up!  I'll rent a copy!

I hope this one's good:

Will do   If it does play here, it's likely to be shown at a theater in a part of town where every other person is in a rock band (so it seems). That would be the right audience!

I think (but I'm not 100% sure) that they did a sprinkling of screenings this past week in major cities. Then they're going to have longer runs for about a week sometime this month. Keep checking.....because yeah, that communal experience was really nice.

Yeah, that's a good point, too. I was hoping the movie would be showing at one of the local arthouse theaters... not yet  It's apparently available via iTunes, but I was really hoping to see it at the theater this weekend for that "communal" experience.

That was a great quote. That got applause from my viewing audience. The other point of the film that really hit home, was the importance of human interaction. Something that has been lost to an ocean of "screens" these days.

Just watched the preview on the Sundance site. Looks well worth seeing. Like you said, a lot of heavy-hitters in this film. I bet it will the be on Sundance Channel soon. Quote from Josh Homme: "Like many things, there's no book store, there's no record store and no Sound City ." Yup, that's one of my problems with the way the world is changing today.
