From a single post on craigslist.org we assembled 8 film crews (and an entire soundtrack) to document a random day-in-the-life of what has evolved into the world's largest community board. Not just the 'Best-Of' or the 'Success Stories', but a real, down-to-earth look at the fastest-growing grassroots cyber-community in the city that started it: San Francisco. This is that day: August 4, 2003: An Ethel Merman drag queen searches for the perfect backup band for her Led Zeppelin covers. A suburban professional woman assembles a diabetic cat support group. A couple seeks the perfect rabbi for their marriage. An aging, would-be mother finds her ideal sperm donor. Doors for sale, one-night stands, compulsive roommates, transsexual erotic services. The mundane and the sublime, the ridiculous and the profound, all come together to paint a portrait of a thriving, humanistic community in the midst of an ever-accelerating culture.
