Little Luxuries: the CSA Box
Does receiving a weekly box of organic produce seem like an incredibly bourgeois practice? Of course it does. But that doesn’t mean the broke asses of the world can’t do it, too.

FREE Hot Dogs and Rock ‘n’ Roll

Dream Interpretation for Broke Asses: 10 Dreams and What They Mean to You, Probably
Last night I had a dream that involved a motorcycle; a swimming pool; a drunk, cheating, and grandpa-aged boyfriend; my grade school; a police chase; a lesbian encounter; and someone else’s severed body parts. Yes, I frequently have dreams just as non sequitur, and yes, I’m totally messed up, and
Summertime Tuesdays: SF Film Night and FREE Wine Tasting
I live my life by this credo: “Never say no to FREE wine.” If you follow a similar philosophy, you should get over to the Top of the Mark tonight and every Tuesday this summer for a FREE movie screening and wine tasting. The Top of the Mark bar boasts
