Matt Gonzalez will join us for most of the show. Gonzalez is the former president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors who narrowly lost to Gavin Newsom in the 2003 campaign for Mayor--despite being a member of the minority Green Party and being vastly outspent. In 2008, Gonzalez ran for Vice President as Ralph Nader's running mate.

We'll talk to him about his past campaigns, his plans for the future, and his thoughts on the current state of the City. We're also hoping that Matt will bring some music to play for us, and that he'll stick around for some lighter banter with the Charm School show at 8 p.m.

The Sexy Soup Cart Lady will join us around 6. We'll talk with her about the exploding street food movement in the Mission, what's up with the police and health department, and what makes her soup sexy. Susan Cross--an organic, sustainable food and policy expert who is organizing the Eat Real Festival--will also join the discussion. Susan is a long-time Mission resident who knows a lot of the details of food cart regulations.
