Plot Outline
The community website Craigslist.org has become one of the most popular sites on the Internet, boasting 10 million active users and 3 billion page views per month. "24 Hours on Craigslist" documents a random day-in-the-life on Craigslist.com in San Francisco, which has evolved into the world's largest community board since 1995.
On this day of 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. A 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.
