The Best 🎁 You Can Give Me for My Bday

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

Not Bad for Turning 43, right?

It’s crazy to think that, at this point, I’ve been doing Broke-Ass Stuart for almost half my life. In that time it’s been A LOT of things: a couple zines, 3 books, a travel TV show on IFC, and oodles of fun projects and web series. And of course, there’s always BrokeAssStuart.com.

While doing BAS has, of course, always been a self gratifying thing – I love to make stuff and have people read, watch, and participate – it’s also a love letter and a gift to the community. For nearly 20 years, BAS has been:

Getting the word out about small businesses
• Championing local arts
• Hipping you to the best events
• Dishing on bars & restaurants
• Sharing local news

And so more. Plus, we’ve been doing it for FREE! 😁

So since my 43rd birthday is on Saturday, and it’s still Hanukkah, I’m asking you for a wee birthday/Hanukkah present.

Will you join the BAS Patreon? Doing so will allow us to continue the good work we already do. BAS is incredibly expensive to run, and our Patreon helps us to keep being a free resource for the community. Thank you ahead of time!

Broke-Ass Stuart works because of reader support. Join us now.
