FREE Surfer Blood Show at Amoeba Records on Tonight!

Why don’t I ever learn my lesson?  If I want to see a show, I should buy tickets at the moment they go on sale.  Instead, I put it off, put it off, put it off, the show invariably sells out, and I pout and bitch about the unfairness of

Saint Stupid’s Day Parade Today

No, You Quizz Off: Trivia Night at Pete’s Candy Store

I am perfectly aware that Pat Sajak can out charisma Alex Trebek by simply batting his eyes or trimming a hang nail, but I will always prefer Jeopardy to Wheel of Fortune. I have many reasons: Jeopardy attracts fewer over-zealous clappers and never feels like a prolonged IHOP, Centrum Silver

More FREE Local Music Tomorrow Night at Milk Bar

A couple weeks ago, we tipped you off to FREE music and cheap booze at Milk Bar on Haight and normally I’d be worried about posting an event twice, but Kevin over at Epicsauce has come back from SXSW with another solid lineup of local acts. This isn’t just a
