Last night I scored big and got to go to the SF Giants vs. Colorado Rockies game, play with an awesome Flip Camera, and do my best not to spend a lot of money. Basically what I do every night, except with more baseball and cameras.
To make the most of a fun time, I made ... Read More →
Take note, coffee shops and late night food spots of Williamsburg! M Noodle Shop has got it all. M Noodle Bar is an offshoot of Williamsburg mainstay M Shanghai Bistro, but much more casual- both in the type of food served and the environment in general, with amazing hours and a great vibe. Food-wise, they ... Read More →
From the plate glass windows and penny arcades to the small plate restaurants and stylish swill holes, Mission Street changes her gown to accommodate her guests as often as the seasons change elsewhere.
Somewhere in between the women in the picture hats and the latest bumper crop of flannel and hair, there was a time when ... Read More →
We here at BAS Headquarters are always thinking of new awesome things to bring to you, our dear (and depraved) readers. So with this in mind we’ve teamed up with the fine folks over at Drink Me Magazine to bring you a new drink recipe every Thursday. That way you can make yourself a little special sumptin-sumptin to aid you in your weekend wickedness.
One unassuming day in May, a good friend sent me an album with the note “Hey, I think you’ll like this.” According to Last.fm, it now is ranked my #1 most played album. This album, my friends, is Beach Fossils’ s/t album and tonight you can hear what their favorite songs are when they DJ ... Read More →
We love Nightlife at the California Academy of Sciences. Not only are the tickets half the price of regular museum admission (only $12!), but it’s 21+ so there are never any snot-nosed kids kicking the back of your chair in the planetarium (which boasts the most accurate rendering of the universe ever created). Every week, ... Read More →
If you’re trying to get the most square inches of pizza per dollar possible, Totino’s Party Pizzas are probably your best bet. But if you’re looking for pizza made with real cheese (and doesn’t taste like cardboard), you should head down to St. Marks Place. Totale Pizza just opened up, and they’re so new they ... Read More →
I read a study last week that said that as far as our problem-solving ability and general mental plasticity, our brains finish the major parts of their development by the time we hit 25. That scared me a lot because I engaged in the willful murder of many of my brains with almost religious zeal ... Read More →
Yes, neighbors, it’s time for the fall edition of the Divis Art Walk — and I’m not going to be there. I wish I was, though, because the last art walk here was described to me as “crazy, fratty drunkenness taking over the sidewalks,” and that’s definitely my kind of art walk. And this one ...

I was standing in line for a burrito today behind a group of ladies, all wearing spectacular summer shoes: hooved, heeled leather creations that encompassed the ankles, high-heeled strappy sandals that laced up the calves, cute 50’s style memorabilia heels…I looked at my feet and gave a silent prayer to my beat-up, brick-red Chuck Taylor ...

There are plenty of things I say I really want to do–like making a photo collage of bodega cats or finally memorizing someone’s phone number besides my own–but I will probably never get around to doing them. Another is trying fresh sushi as a a means to erase a bad experience in college from my ... Read More →
Hello, I’m back again for all of your sartorial interests and pursuits! I have spent a lot of the past week dressing ladies for their return to the fall semester, and there is nothing that makes me more stoked than making sure that they will KILL on the first day. I’m taking a couple of ... Read More →
Hoodstock Music Festival lands in Oakland this weekend. There’s been a lot of buildup for this event with hush-hush venues, stay-tuned-for headliners, and a recently announced third day event called “Acoustic Hangover Relief” (hangover cures built right into the festival!). Check out the Facebook invite for more info and the huge list of performers ... Read More →
I fear confrontation. Not all confrontation. Just with strangers. Strangers scare me. I am completely comfortable calling my friends on their shit and being a general pain in the ass to my near and dear, but if someone I’m not familiar with pisses me off I keep my rage to myself. ... Read More →
Just to set the record straight. I’ve never been to San Francisco, so if you’re looking for some insightful commentary on how this bar “really draws on the West Coast” vibe, I can’t help you. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a fantastic bar. Settled on the somewhat barren strip of 4th Avenue, right down ... Read More →
This sounds like one hell of an event. In honor of Michael Jackson’s birthday (which was yesterday I think) the weekly Monday party, Testarossa is throwing an MJ themed night. Not only do you get a FREE margarita if you show up before 11pm, but there will also be FREE face painting, a FREE photo ... Read More →
One of the most common rites of passage a young person must endure is temping at an office. You always promise yourself you’ll never do it, but the bills add up and the hourly rates can be quite tempting. Temping can expose you to the wide world of corporate culture. With such enticing positions such ... Read More →
If you spend most of 25 cent wing nights bragging to your friends about how many wings you shoved down your gullet, then you need to hit up The Habitat in Greenpoint tomorrow night. They’re having their third annual wing eating contest. The winner will walk away with $100 and a belly full of chicken. ... Read More →
