Broke-Ass of the Week

Broke-Ass of the Week – Missionite Scott M.

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

Every week we feature a different person from the community shedding a little light on their life of brokeitude. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something about the human spirit — probably not.

Wanna be a Broke-Ass of the Week? Holler at us here and we’ll send you the questionnaire.

This week’s broke-ass is a San Francisco Missionite who frequents Bender’s and Elbo Room, but don’t make the mistake of calling him a hipster (see last question below) or he’ll cut you. When he’s not cheering on the A’s (blasphemy!) or dominating at the Chipotle Challenge (four burritos in 25 minutes, yo), he’s making up and copyrighting new and slightly creepy words, like the answer to his favorite FREE thing to do. Check out the guy who’s too awesome to give a full last name:

When Christy announced she was leaving her family's Southern California home and moving to San Francisco, her mom said, "Have fun in that den of sin." This is the only (however sarcastic) advice Christy has ever taken from her mom, who also told her to join eharmony.com and cover her eyes during sex scenes in movies. Christy puts her creative writing degree to good use by locating the typos on Chinese food menus and spends most of her time challenging friends to all-you-can-eat contests and trying to get that one bartender at Zeitgeist to smile.
