Dave Foley on: Uwe Boll

This past weekend the SF Sketchfest closed out with a performance by the legendary Kids In The Hall. And by legendary I mean I got to hear a lot about them as a kid, but since we didn’t have cable I never saw the show. Oh sure, when I got to college I could’ve stayed [...]

Net Forward: Mint

On the one hand I feel like I’m taking a giant gamble, and on the other I’ve never been more relieved.

Saturday Bonus Blog

I’m getting sick of the Clinton campaign.
There, I said it.

Just shy of the breaking point

You know That Day?

Need A Drink?

Me too.
Try this little number that I aquired a taste for a the late, lamented Odeon in San Francisco. A freak bar in the Mission, in the higest tradition of the term FREAK, the Odeon was the home of erstwhile mayoral cani-don’t Chicken John. I used to go for the burlesque and this little number:

There’s No Trade-Ins At The River Styx

I was at the gym in The City last night, the one that has the newfangled cardio equipment with the integrated TVs. Damn near all of them had CNN on, and by all of them I meant around 30. 30 unused cardio machines with the TVs sucking juice while four people worked out at 11:15 [...]
