Broke Ass Bulletin for the week of November 14th!

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

Hey, I’m checking in a little late this week, but Friday the 13th got a little out of hand. What can I say? I thrive on bad luck. Here is some of the best picks of the week:


Dive-y Dreams: Love this shot of the Buddha Bar. It makes this infamous dive almost beautiful. [Eater SF]

Transportation Trainwreck: Were you aware of the fact that after the Bay Bridge was repaired from the cracks last month, it was not inspected by the feds, which is a requirement? Pretty fucking scary. [SF Examiner]

Waiter Wars: Since I figure most of the Broke Ass community serves or has served the public in a restaurant setting, what are your thoughts on waiter expectations? This New York Times blogger shares his thoughts, and the rest of America chimes in. [NY Times]

The Power of Suggestion: If you love McSweeney’s [there can’t be many of you — I can barely afford to touch their issues], check out their recommended list. The most interesting include brown wax paper, Parks and Recreation and frozen mini-pancakes. [McSweeney’s]


Power Shot: If you’re looking for a great photography blog that focuses on SF, Caliber is the answer. Totally into this picture of the Lincoln Tunnel. [Caliber]

Goth Grave: For those of you that frequent Annie’s Social Club, we have gotten sad news that their last day of operations will be NYE 2009. You will, unfortunately, have to find somewhere else to sing Nick Drake songs and cry about the growing popularity of vampires. [Eater SF]


Transit Transparency: Check out this skate deck designed by John Barretto, entitled “MUNI is money.” Thank you, captain obvious. [MUNI Diaries

Serene Skulls
: And we’ll end this week with a really great video of this year’s Dia de los Muertos processions set to Girls, one of my favorite local bands.

If you have any favorite links from the week, leave them in the comments or send them to info@brokeassstuart.com!

Monica Miller - The Intern

Ms. Miller was born in San Diego, CA to one lesbian mother and one
righteous, cheap father. Currently, she is enrolled at San Francisco
State University for a B.A. in Journalism and the approximate
completion date is around 2015. She has worked for many papers in the
Bay Area, including the Oakland Tribune and the San Mateo Country
Times and is currently the city editor at one of the most
underappreciated publications in SF, the Golden Gate [X]press. Though
she may find bargains aplenty, it only stems from the necessity of
never landing an actual job and working for hacks [like Stuart.] With
intelligence, style, poise, bite, and honesty, she will rip your heart
out; but not before writing some awesome, poignant shit. This year,
she is looking forward to bigger and better things such as: trying to
get paid for a gig, actually finding a date that isn't a loser or
fucking crazy, not calling her parents when hungover and bringing you
the best of the 7x7 everyday of the week. [By the way, I wasn't
kidding about the date thing; if you love food, booze and shoegaze,
get at me.]
