Cheap and Hidden Hot Springs in Magnificent Mendocino
This past weekend my lady and I went to a wedding up in the Mendocino hills. The wedding was just as lovely as the surrounding scenery and the best part was that it was as far from a traditional ceremony as you could imagine. The wedding started with all the attendees standing
FREE Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Literary Stuff Served Up by Dave Eggers
Tonight the legendary City Lights bookstore on Columbus will be hosting a reading from Stoners and Self-Appointed Saints, and Fever Chart – the latter of which was published by McSweeney’s – that impossibly twee publisher/website/lit rag founded by love-him-or-hate-him memoirist/novelist/newspaper man Dave Eggers. To go along with the readings, their
Death By Audio: Chicken Feathers and Naked Girls
Last time I wrote about Death by Audio, there was a giant maze taking over the entire space. Tomorrow night, they’re letting you cover 15 naked women in chicken feathers while two dudes play 17 drums in a performance described as “post-feminist avant garde historical reenactment meets squirrel-infused eletro-noise tribe.”

Troop Beverly Hills: The Experience
“I’m sure it’s very nice to know how to live in the woods, and eat bark, but I’m gonna show you girls how to survive in the wilds of Beverly Hills!” If there was an 80s movie more in line with my own pre-pubescent desires than Troop Beverly Hills, I
Dolores Park is the Best Place Ever
It seems that every February we get 3 or 4 blessed days in a row that feel like Spring time. We are apparently in the midst of that right now and I can’t be fucked to sit inside and write about things. I NEED to go to Dolores Park. So
