Lady to Lady Live! @ The Make-Out Room Wednesday!

Your favourite ladies: Barker, Gray & Posey. The podcast moonscape is a wilderness pock marked with craters of banality and that, which can only be described as celestially sublime. If you have traversed through the darkness and have yet to hear Lady to Lady, you are indeed missing out one

Everything 50%-70% Off at Hellenic- American Greek Imports Going Out of Business Sale

Hellenic- American Greek Imports (a.ka. My Big Fat Greek Store) will be closing its doors forever as soon as they sell their last wares plus the paint off the walls probably. The Mission Street institution has been selling goods to the once-immense local Greek community for over seventy years and

1¢ Shots Courtesy of the Lex Every Hard and Fast Tuesday

Okay, so when it comes to getting toasty, you could hardly do worse than making a pit stop at the Lexington Club.  The Lex has a fondness for making a drop-in worth your while by offering booze in varieties of heavy-handed and cheap, or perhaps hard and fast? They have

Barfly Be Thy Name- Urinating in a Clown Car at Carlo’s Club

Carlo’s Club is one of those places that proves even the filthiest dive doesn’t necessarily ensure a cheap drink.  My father and I had already been up the street at the Mission Bar during the game and were in the middle of one debate or another- poltics and family issues

Conquering Mammoth Proportions at Mission’s Kitchen

Mission’s Kitchen is outwardly deceiving because, from the 1940’s blinds in the window to the sign trimmed in incandescent bulbs, the place look’s  like your typical diner that time forgot, not unlike say, Jim’s up the street.

Jim’s Restaurant – The Mission’s Classic Greasy Spoon

Jim’s is one of those places that leaves one wondering how exactly it’s managed to survive in such a pure form.  It’s right in the heart of it all, with the likes of Foreign Cinema and Cha Cha Cha for neighbours and yet it still manages to operate as an

The BAS Pub Crawl Itinerary: Support Your Local Tavern and Cheer Us On!

Well, if you were too deep into a bender to buy tickets to this Friday’s annual bar crawl, you can look upon the melee as a spectator sport as our own little pied piper and his trail of beer rats do our cannonball run through the hazy streets of San

Tour a Porn Studio at the San Francisco Armory

The last time I lived in Los Angeles, I had a brief stint as a tour guide on the Warner Brothers Studio lot.  Although not the most lucrative job, it was pretty interesting leading my flip-flopped charges through a real life dream factory.  Their eyes would dance at the possibility
