Beneath the Streets

I am prone to Stockholm Syndromey-ness.  No matter how terrible the situation:  bad relationship, high school, a miserable temp job, living arrangement, &c, when it’s over I am doomed to remember only the wonderful things about it and forgot why I hated it.   Such has been the case with the

2Pac: The Musical 2night

If Tupac’s not dead, he’s most likely hanging out someplace with Amelia Earhart, Elvis, and Bigfoot. And if he’s still alive, would a musical based on his music kill him or entertain him? Decide for yourself and see 2Pac: The Musical at Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater tonight. In recent jukebox

15 Romolo – The Best New-ish Bar in North Beach

I’ve got a love/hate relationship with the nightlife in North Beach.  On weeknights it’s a great place to go out, hang with some friends and have a tipple with 75 year old poets.  It’s also got the Holy Trinity of bars: Spec’s, Tosca, and Vesuvio. But weekend nights in North

Garbage = art at Trashion

My friend and I went trolling the streets and returned with a My Little Pony, sparkly fake flowers, and teddy bear. Then we doused them with lighter fluid and set them on fire in a vacant lot for our own entertainment. Luckily, some artists are less self-centered than us, and
