Super Cheap Early Season Baseball Tickets

Baseball is America’s pastime, duh. But not all of us actually care about what’s going on down there on the grass. Some of us just go for beer and peanuts and sunshine. I am certainly one of those people, but now that I don’t work in a fancy office where

$5 Gets you Meat, Cheese and Wine at Whole Foods

Whole Foods in Potrero Hill is at it again. Remember that Beer Week event with the cheap microbrew and the food tastings?  Well they’re doing something similar tonight from 5-7pm. $5 gets you Australian wines paired with meats and cheeses plus you’re actually doing a mitzvah because the money is

All-U-Can Drink Brew This Saturday at Otter Pops

Oh the otter.  What mass appeal you possess, whether you be ‘œblue raspberry’ flavoured, an oblivious critter prying open an abalone while floating in front of cooing tourists, or a skinny hairy dude.  Of the latter, San Francisco is practically overflowing, but if you simply can’t have enough, then the

Broke-Ass Financial Coaching: US Air Travel

Clearly I prefer Southwest Airlines, because of the cities I travel to as well as the fact that I have to check a bag. Also, the magic of this is all Southwest not me. I just travel a lot and am super flexible. You may not have a Southwest hub near you or you do not need to check a bag. You may have really specific dates that you need to travel on. There is a lot of information online about finding great deals, so don’t be bashful, look around!

Christopher Moore Book Launch with FREE Food and Booze

I’ve been meaning to read Christopher Moore’s books for a long time.  The dude has like 10 of them, so you’d think I’d have gotten around to it by now.  Plus my best friend, Jeremy, has read most of them and says he’ll let me borrow one.  But you know
