Remembering Playland at the Beach
Monday, March 15th Written by Broke-Ass Stuart - Editor In CheapHistory is often best marked by the buildings and landmarks left behind. These edifices act as scars, reminding us that our time is short and that there were people here before us, just as there will be after us. It’s the buildings remaining once an era has passed, that allow us access what that era ... Read More →

Best Place in SF to Get Cheap BBQ and Beer
Friday, March 12th Written by Rebecca Pederson - Cheap DateI’m gonna be really real right now: the only thing that gets me wetter than fantasizing about making it with one of Marva Whitney’s back-up dancers is basking in the sun and eating some down home, backyard barbeque.

Writers with Drinks This Saturday
Friday, March 12th Written by Christy Jovanelly - Cheapskate CommentatorI feel like it was fated, like I was meant to post about Saturday’s Writers With Drinks at The Make-Out Room. Why?

FREE Beer at Lunchtime in the FiDi
Thursday, March 11th Written by Andrew Dalton - Aggressive PanhandlerNot that we would encourage you to drink on your lunch break, but it’s Thursday, and dammit you work hard for that meager paycheck.

Tomorrow Night: Free Local Music and $1 PBR at Milk Bar
Wednesday, March 10th Written by Andrew Dalton - Aggressive PanhandlerWhen you go to college in the town that made Dave Matthews popular you start to associate the term “local music” with shitty cover bands and impressively mediocre acts that might not ever release anything more substantial than xeroxed fliers to their show at a friend’s house.
San Francisco, on the other hand, has been churning ... Read More →
Kill a Tree Tonight, Plant One Tomorrow
Wednesday, March 10th Written by Christy Jovanelly - Cheapskate CommentatorSure, I spend a lot of time writing about food, my feelings and the dog from my favorite commercial ever, but buried deep in the recesses of my brain, there’s a bestseller brewing. I can feel it. A real page-turner about a sassy, twenty-something broke-ass who works in cafes all day and steals leftover untouched ... Read More →

Monday, March 8th Written by Broke-Ass Stuart - Editor In CheapIf you remember, a little while back the Dickerman Prints Gallery had that badass show of Baron Wolman’s photos. Apparently they are pretty into things that are awesome and are having an opening party on Wednesday night for Anthony Kurtz’s new photo show, “It All Came So Close to Never Happening”. I’ve know Anthony for ... Read More →
