BART’S “Secret Word of the Day” Week
BART apparently is trying real hard to let the lads know she’s single and ready to mingle. Try BART Week starts Monday (today!) to entice people to think about trying BART. (Really, are there people who have lived here for an extended period of time who have been able to

This New Literary Magazine is a Gift to the People of San Francisco
I’ve got some awesome news! We received a grant from the Civic Joy Fund to put out a literary magazine celebrating SF and acting to counter the stupid “Doom Loop” narrative. It’s a gift to the people of San Francisco. And after months of working on this project it’s now available
Win the New Video Game: All Points Bulletin

Tomorrow night: FREE Homemade Pie at Omnivore Books

Broke Country Club Party at the Putting Lot
Having lived in Bushwick, I’ve done my share of shit-talking on the neighborhood. But low and behold, as soon I as move, they go and get themselves a miniature golf course (of all things!). The Putting Lot is a 9-hole course designed by local artists and architects in what used
