Check Out San Francisco Made of Paper Tonight at The Curiosity Shoppe!

Nailed it, Chloe…nailed it. It’s no secret that we residents of San Francisco loooooooove our city.  If we didn’t, we wouldn’t live paycheck-to-paycheck, in, like, the fifth most expensive place in the country.  Yeah, it’s foggy sometimes and flipping over the handlebars of your bike when the wheels get stuck

FREE Ryan Lee Crosby Show at Sidewalk Cafe on Saturday

There are enough terrible, “I wish I didn’t have ears” wish-causing covers to make me want to swear them off forever (*Cough* Passion Pit’s “Tonight, Tonight” *Cough*).
