Bookish Events This Week!

Some people are made for the club scene.  They enjoy the dressing up, taking shots at home, traveling with friends to an underground spot, and then dancing and sweating it out for the rest of the evening, letting go of all inhibitions while teasing and attracting other wild and sexy

Fill It Up – $1 Tacos and $2 Chelas at Taqueria Pancho Villa and El Toro

Generally speaking, this small family of taquerias isn’t the cheapest in the city, but the quality is better than most (super-bland Can-Cun anyone?) Despite their central locations, they aren’t resting on their cash cow’s security, and if you’ve caught their charmingly goofy commercials you’ll know that they have recently added

Hostelling International’s FREE 100th Anniversary Party in SF

I’m not a fan of camping or dorms.  I’m pretty sure camping is why houses were invented.  And the only purpose of dorms is to make you so miserable freshman year that you’re forced to go out and make friends.  Hostels are a combination of dorms and camping, but somehow

FREE Food and Drinks with The Green Zebra

So Green Zebra does these cool guides that are focused on “Local Savings for Sustainable Living”.  Sounds pretty sweet right?  Well they just opened their Environmental Action Center (EAC) at the Crocker Galleria, where you can drop in and learn to how to live more sustainably while still saving money
