my stupid phone, i'm sorry. anyway, he was going to be able to do [inaudible] and was worried because i had given him a class previously and he said i need a class because i want to do this play so he came in for a two hour refresher course and after he called me in a few days and says, i not only got to be the hair dresser for the play, he says but now i'm her personal hair dresser and i want to tell you that after-it is about three years, he now is a top hair stylist in new york and he has three salons and credits all the knowledge to me because most hair dressers they cut, blow die but dont do the whole thing and if you are in the business, the more you can do, the more you know, the more you will make in the business. so, i think that my classes are very important number one. number two, there are no wig stores in north beach accept mine and i was 41 years in north beach so i was ahead of most people with wigs. and then another thing is that i have been doing since i have been back in north beach in the last three months the city of angles i did the play for them. i have done several plays, they have been coming in this week . one thing i want to stres ask i not only do drag queens in my salon, i'm a hair dresser so there is nothing i can't do with the hair so think it is important i'm in north beach again, it is like my home because i was there 51 years. >> awesome. thank you very much. >> pleasure to have you join the registry and thank you for coming today. >> thank you. >> alright. >> ron murk. >> just reminder, we are obligated by rules to cut off at 3 minutes so not trying to be rude so when you hear the first gong you have thirty seconds left. >> which m ic am i talking into? my name is ron murk, the president of premier picture jz film and cultural programs for the metro foundation. i have been unthe motion picture industry for more than 40 years. this is great make up and hair. >> i like your wig. >> and martin scors acey was a teacher at nyu where i graduated in sfilm production. i worked with stephen paul from oddball more than twnt year jz honored to call him a colleague i good frnds and think the reason we such a great friendship is we scr amazing passion for movies. i utilized films in his collection in my projects and likewise, he sold clips from my films for other producer tooz use in their projects. resource sharing ask a enormously important part of the ability of independent filmmaker tooz get films made without the resources stephen offers a lot of films would not be made. stephen is also a film educator and offers internships to offer film preservation. education is a large part of the mission. sorry about the frog in my throat, i wasn't planning on special effects. in any event, a lot of people have mubed to digital film making and still use film making when we talk about digital. what people do not know is digital files are more at risk than films. most would think the opposite is true, but films we had for 125 years and stored properly and maintained properly, they can go on indefinitely. film is essentially the repository of our collective history and it preserves the history of our community. at oddball stephen created one of inmost important collection of films including commercial, art films, short, educational medical films and the personal collectionoffs filmmaker whose sadly left us too early. only through his relentless efforts to save and archive the films and make them available for use, have 50,000 films in this collection saved. there is a great cost to managing a collection like this and to digitize them in order to meet the cost of preserving them i hope you spourt the application and urge you to continue the work of stephen and odd bill oddball films. they are a great resource and treasure for our future. >> thank you. great testimony. next speaker. >> mr. gubya. >> [inaudible] visual and performing artist. i probably have seen the 16th street bart station in san francisco i designed the art work. also having involved in theater and film.

[inaudible] a lot of home movies people have donated. sometimes people have in the claust and don't know what to do and the films are available. it is very important film preservation, particularly home movies, which really tell the absolute history of the city and documentaries. [inaudible] uc berkeley and meet documentary of mexican colonial art and i always find in steve's archive. one thing is he makes it available regardless if you have big budget or not so shat really important. he is really there for the knhunty community when you need it. >> thank you very much. >> jeff lambert. >> yes. my name is jeff lambert and executive director of the national film preservation foundation. we award grants to archives and promote through online and print publication squz here to support oddball film to the legacy business registry. i have known stephen par since 1999 which wh i par tisitated [inaudible] that is a group of individuals corporate and non-profit dedicated to preservation of audio visual heritage. stephen is active member of amea and director of independent media committee for 10 years. i know that film arvist make a point visiting with stephen to discuss the archiveing field. he was instrumental [inaudible] easy to use and free for everybody. oddball also works with other film organizations in the san francisco bay area hosting benefits, copresenting programs andprinting screenings of orphan films, educational industrial and home movies and archivels that wouldn't exist without supporters like stephen and national film preservation foundation and non-profit archive-all the non-profit archives in the state. stephen has been great-there is one thing about having films on a shelf but what we try to do and what stephen is great at is bringing the films to the public and getting them it into the world where they live. he participates with senate for home movie and presenting home movie day where people in the bay area bring the treasure films and are available to view and share with others. and make copies for the people who make the films so get to take them home. oddball films and staff spent hours preserving footage and collaboration oon preservation projects with other institutions. one example is film behind avenue good man, a portrait of gay life in los angeles in 1966. the fimm only existed in a few 16 mm prints, oddball had one and sent to ucla that completed the restoration that presented last year. i view oddball contribution to the historical legacy of film san francisco as a valuable resource for educators, filmmakers and historians. there is a film called blacky the wonder horse swims the goldsen gate and can see it on the website. >> thank you very much. awesome. next speaker. >> mark [inaudible] >> hello. thank you so much for having us. first of all i want to congratulate and say what a great program this is. legacy is so important and for those of us that have been around a long time, it is really important that we preserve our memories and our businesses that have been here to support us. my name is mark hoousts one of the foundsers of the lez beian and gay film festival and started in harvey milks camera store in 1977 and after i was diagnosed with hiv 15 years of hiv/aids documentarys and finished my work as a [inaudible] at the castro theater bringing back old movie stars like tony curtis and debbie reynolds and jane rustle. stephen to me is the very definition of legacy. if anybody walks through the hall of oddball sw sees those reals of films they are not only films those are lives in each of the cans and it is amazing that in all of those reels that we have-any one of them you would just open up and see a whole world at your fing ertips. he has been a very strong advocate for lezbenian and gay works and represents a few short films i made for the first gay film festival developed at harvey's camera store. he is a tireless and honest broker of films. it is always a thrill to get a check. but beyond that, it particularly in when i did my shows that castro he would have the most oddball films i have seen like i had ann blife who paid mildred pierce and known as the hostess cupcake girl and who accept stephen par would have a commercial of ann blife stuffing dig tongs into her childrens throats from the 1960's? it was particularly great because when i did that show the daughter that we have the footage of, actually came to the show, so-and he had like a debbie reynolds old footage called scope tones that nobody else had so i really love the work he does and feel strong and passionate about it. i feel strong and passionate about there is the line in the simon and garfunkal song, preserve your memories, they are all that is left you and hope you will help preserve our memories because they are what is left of us. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> paula fiscal. >> good afternoon commissioners. it is my pleasure to be here to speak on behalf of gypy losea lees wigs and vintage. my par pisitation goes back a couple decades. might add that i have been in these rooms a couple decades ago working for supervisor silver who was hope toog be here and speak on her behalf also. my participation for her is that i am her volunteer social media director. and me about yelp, facebook and anything that goes through the air, that is how i help her. i'm also the business development consultant so that in april when she was asked to double her rent to stay where she was on sutter, i assisted her along with the urban something that is funded by the city to help her relocate. so, that when she relocated to north beach i helped negotiate the lease. unfortunately the landlord was not willing to give a 10 year lease. you can see perhaps why. however, we did get a three year lease, so my recommendation is, could you change it down to 5 years in order to be able to have the businesses take advantage of getting the $500 per square foot compensation at the end of the year? on that note, i will move right along with other accolades for mrs. gypsy rosalie. she has done work with eta james and doing work with holly penfield which is a well known singer and entertainer from london. juanita more is her number 1 fan and juanita moore has been getter her hair done there at least 3 or 4 decades. >> dopet let juanita hear you say that. >> we'll keep it a secret. i have a show on sf commons called thepologist show. it is a talk show and rosalie is always my great great sponsor of my show. so, we have here today the amelia and she is always been there for us in volunteer work. she also helped when i worked on the saint luke's coalition. she was right there getting signatures to keep saint luke's open and contradict today the community for many many years. it is helping her with the legacy ever preservation committee to help with her promotions and her pr and so we want to thank you for listening to some of the-was it supervisor peskin who pushed her work but all the work you do to assist small business so thank you very much. >> thank you very much. next up. >> paul gefer. >> hi. one the scary things about the legacy business program is how old we are. i mean, i'm here-i started in san francisco as a street artist and then with my friends we started captain video and mark used to work for us and it is a thrill- >> [inaudible] >> thrill for me to see him again. how much water is under the bridge, huh? i wrote just something for the moment. my nomis paul gefner. for us in every business it is never about the pizza or the videos, it is always about the people. in a way, a business is its own nation and responsible for treating its employee, customers and neighbors with kindness and respect. we feed hospices after school program addiction service and many orelt charities. i also start the commission community market with two other people. not only in addition we have extensive [inaudible] for all employees and the other four owners beside myself started as employees as escape from new york. one was a dish washer and one gave out coke cards and the orelt a prep cook. after 30 years i'm proud to say we created that personal nation i talked about. driven by the concept of what is gooed framy partner, my neighbor and employee is what is good for business. i like to say finally, that is not only my values but believe them to be the values of san francisco and why i'm proud to be here before you. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> walter [inaudible] >> walter sang already. >> walter was our earlier performance. >> i don't think we have- >> any other members of the public that would like to comment on the item or any of the businesses?
