Uh oh, don't tell JFred: San Francisco and Velveeta:
(from the Oct 2 1998 San Francisco Chronicle)
This afternoon, the Mission District art underground will pack up and move over the hill to the Lanai Motel on Lombard Street.
By tomorrow, all 24 rooms and the elevator will be transformed into installations, enhanced by bands in the parking lot and beer under the carport. For one day this inexpensive lodge in the roar of Highway 101 will house a society called ''Sap -- the residue of the San Francisco art scene.''
From the parking lot, which adjoins a Chevron station, the motel looks like a three-tiered cell block. There are eight rooms on each floor, and behind each blue door will be a world apart from the cheery Saturday college football fans on Chestnut Street a block away.
Terry Hoff will turn her room into a flowing lava pit of Velveeta cheese.....
MAYORAL PROCLAMATION
Sap has rented the entire hotel for two days. Participants have 24 hours to set up before it opens at 1 p.m. on ''Sap Day,'' as it has been proclaimed by Mayor Willie Brown.
Artists will lead docent tours, as an interactive performance. The installations, and other objects, are for sale, minus the motel fixtures.
