If the amount of ex-boyfriends/ex-people I used to bone trying to get back in touch with me out of nowhere all of a sudden is any indication, it seems this new year has especially been about taking inventory of one’s life. It’s a time of self-reflection, a High Fidelity-style “what does it all mean?” quest, ... Read More →
I think the last time I was in Pop Burger, my friends and I tried to start a dance party in the bar portion. The bouncers were having none of it, and even told us to stop when we started dancing in an area with less traffic. I don’t hold this against Pop Burger, because ... Read More →
So, as you may have noticed from the Swagger Stagger video I was in: it’s SF Beer Week! And today there is a dope event going on that even you, my dear broke-asses, can afford to attend.
Wes Anderson and Kenny Scherr from the Whole Foods in Potrero Hill, have teamed up with Speakeasy Brewery, to ... Read More →
My good friend, Sayre Piotrkowski, is one of the only Cicerones (a beer sommelier) in the Bay Area. While we used to drink lots and lots of Budweiser together in college, his tastes have matured while mine have apparently stayed fairly pedestrian. Because of this he decided to honor SF Beer Week by taking me ... Read More →
In case there’s a chance that you didn’t stuff your face quite fully enough on Superbowl Sunday while watching my hero, Queen Latifah sing the national anthem, Texas-style BBQ-ery Hill Country is hosting one of the most daunting eating challenges I’ve been apprised of since Adam Orellana stomped on a bunch of Shark Bites and ...

As someone who normally avoids football at all costs, but also has a secret love of hot wings, the Super Bowl is a conflicting event for me. I enjoy the festive atmosphere and flowing beer but not so much the fist pumping and sporadic yelling. But the Who is playing halftime and there’s sure to ... Read More →
When my roommate told me about Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl, I thought she was kidding, and also had weird/sad images of bowling with puppies. Turns out, it’s not a cruel joke, but the greatest Super Bowl alternative EVER! I could try to explain it to you, but Animal Planet did such a good ... Read More →
What’s not to love about Frankenart Mart? Affordable local art? Check. A cute little space with dope owners. Check. One Sunday a month where they give out FREE hot dogs (meat or veggie) and have a giant walking hot dog mascot you can fuck with? Czechoslovakia!
This month we see a very special Hotdog Day since ... Read More →
The Antlers had a huge year in 2009. Their album Hospice was included in the year end “best” lists by just about everyone including The Onion, Filter, Pitchfork, and NPR. Not bad for a band that pretty much didn’t’ exist two years ago.
Last night they played with Ra-Ra Riot at the BAM Sound Like Brooklyn ... Read More →
Everyone knows about the giant Chinese New Year parade and celebration that happens ever year (it’s on the 27th this year btw), but this is the first time I’ve ever heard of the Chinese New Year Flower Fair. For all you fools out there, here is the skinny on the San Francisco Chinese New ... Read More →
Short people…I am watching you. That means you…yah, you, short lady. You probably don’t think I can see you because I am taller than you. Well, around 5’8’’ if you must know. And you are what, maybe 5 feet? Interesting. My sister is 5 feet tall so maybe I am trained to keep an eye ... Read More →
So the Super Bowl is this weekend – even people like me that barely watch pro Football know that – and with the Superbowl comes Superbowl parties: an American tradition where everyone’s girlfriends prepare elaborate things to dip Tostitos into while making bets based on which team’s quarterback has a nicer ass. Meanwhile the guys ... Read More →
So if you’re one of those people who, like Anna G., loves live music you’ve probably seen a bunch of shows during this past weeks Sounds Like Brooklyn festival. Tomorrow is the last day of the festival and I think most shows are already sold out but tonight? Tonight’s Friday–Friday!! The best day of the ... Read More →
D-Structure has bee doing a lot of dope shit lately that includes music, art, and most importantly, FREE beer. Tonight is no exception.
Starting at 8pm, the cerveza will be flowing in celebration of Michael Dabo Lopez’s art and installations. And the best part is that if you RSVP here on Facebook, you get in for ... Read More →
Heyo – the MIA DIY Diva here. Between computer blow-ups, work and the stomach flu it has been a rather craptacular couple of weeks over here. Bright side, as I’ve been mostly stuck at home on the couch, I’ve been crafting my little fingers to the bone. (Seriously, I’m typing this with nubs.)
Aside from knitting ... Read More →
Elementary school was awesome for random food rewards. If you got enough stars on a chalkboard, brought in the most canned goods, or stayed quiet during spelling tests, you occasionally received pizza, pop corn, or ice cream parties. Now that we’re adults, we’re just expected to do well and buy our own damn pizza. But ... Read More →
Both Chloe and Stuart recommended you check out the California Academy of Sciences and you should listen to both of them because it is every bit as awesome as it sounds. And for those of us that like to get a little tipsy while staring at their wide array of weird fish or cooing at ... Read More →
The 2010 Beard Ball is a place to show off your beards, brought to you by Build-A-Beard, founded by my girl Riss and someone who goes by “El Beardo”.
According to them, Build-A-Beard:
…recognizes those who display a commitment to the excellence of facial hair growing whether fully maintained, trimmed daily, or free flowing. We embrace beards, ... Read More →
