First...citizen video and understanding the weather...how local engineers use you-tube video of flooding streets to help understand the storms we experience. We'll see footage from Oct 20, 2009, when Folsom Street erupted. Presented by alocalsewerhistorian Greg Braswell, assisted by John Seagrave and Nick Birth.

Next... San Francisco filmmakers Jeanne C. Finley & John Muse and their most recent work
Manhole 452, "a darkly lyrical hybrid of rumination and documentation, so slightly tinted with humor as to leave the viewers wondering whether they perceive it or imagine it", Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle.

Shot extremely locally, this fictionalized narrative follows the reflections of a man who was once almost killed by an exploding manhole cover: he now rides the Geary Limited bus to and from his job fitting prosthetic limbs, and is obsessed with the heavy steel plates which are everywhere. What are the odds? And how about the miracles?

These events are free and we welcome your curiosity.

The Sewer Show returns! Yes, number two. And it's a two day event! Wednesday evening, Sept 14, in the Workspace Gallery, we'll have an art show and lively presentation about the water which flows beneath our feet. On Saturday September 17, at 3pm, we'll set off on an above ground bicycle tour of the San Francisco Sewer System. Lead by experts! Who will return us to Workspace at 6pm for a Sewer Party. Dirty martinis, trash talk, and general unrulyness may occur.
