Flutterby™! : Good Vibrations troubles

An SFGate article about troubles at Good Vibrations. I couldn't tell if it was me, society at large, or the organization itself, but at some point Good Vibrations seemed to lose what made it so unique and appealing. As I experienced it, it went from being a different kind of space to a clean, well stocked, well lit porn store: cool, but, at least out here in the Bay Area, not without competition. And then there were the falling-outs that we only saw echoes of, Violet Blue's departure, for instance. Now they're competing in an online space with glossy depersonalized "blogs", and... well... I never get into the city any more.
