LeBron James Taking His Talents To North Beach
via News & Politics: The Snitch.
LeBron James may be famously taking his talents to South Beach, but he’s filming his soda commercial in North Beach.
Joe DiMaggio Park — named for a prickly athlete who didn’t stab his hometown in the back via a callous, nationally televised debacle — will today serve as the staging ground for a James TV spot. The basketball star, in town for tomorrow’s Miami Heat-Golden State Warriors game, won’t be on the scene, however.
A location manager told CBS-5 that, instead, they have a LeBron stand-in who stands three inches shorter than The King — that’d be 6-foot-5; still plenty tall — who will be studiously painted with fake tattoos. The fake Bron will do the stunts and the real Bron will be added in later via the magic of computers.
And while folks in Cleveland and Akron are feeling jilted, the commercial has, thus far, enriched San Francisco by more than $20,000 in fee payments. Toothpaste money for LeBron. But, still, nice to have.
They’ve been building the set in the rain and finally did the shoot today. Last night they had the set lights blasting. You could see them half a mile away.

The Double Punch White Elephant Gift Exchange
This Friday at our opening of FEELING BETTER ALREADY group art show at Double Punch, we will be getting into the Holiday spirit by doing a White Elephant gift exchange. If you are not familiar with what a White elephant gift exchange is, here is the brief run down:
The most popular version of the White Elephant…Rules allows any number of people to participate. However, the number of participants should be at least four for the game to be fun. Each participant is asked to bring a gift worth no more than a pre-agreed upon amount.
Participants draw numbers from a hat to determine their gift choice order, starting with one, up to the total number of participants.
Each person takes a turn choosing a gift. The first person picks a gift, opens it and shows it to the rest of the company. Then the number two participant picks a gift and chooses to either unwrap it or to exchange it for the previously unwrapped gift. If the gift is exchanged, the person who had their gift taken from them gets to unwrap the chosen gift and then the turn passes. When all the gifts have been opened, the game is over.
Pretty easy. We’ve got a couple of house rules to keep things interesting. So bring a gift a wrapped gift, value of no more than $15 dollars to participate in this year’s White Elephant. It should be a lot of fun. This Friday’s opening of FEELING BETTER ALREADY is going to be great holiday treat for everyone and we hope it will top last year’s holiday group art show. Don’t forget to bring your Santa hat.
