Stripes forever
While her father was busy, the little girl behind me on MUNI occupied herself by gently patting my dress between the shoulder blades and muttering “stwiiiipes, stwiiiipes,” over and over. It was almost too adorable to bear. It may also be worth noting that my dress was not striped.
Here be dragons
Heh. We live in denim! And distressingly close to wasted years. This is not my awesome map.
Ride in style this weekend
Berg Injury Lawyers is offering free cab rides around the Bay (but not across the Bay — they’re lawyers, not wizards), starting at 10 p.m. tonight and lasting until 4 a.m. on Sunday, in an effort to prevent all the morons who like to drive drunk from killing themselves and others. For your free cab … Continue reading

Balls
Litquake kicks off on Friday with their first annual Book Ball. Loosely based on Truman Capote’s famous (IN-famous?) Black & White Ball, this one will be much cheaper and more casual and, more importantly, will not force you to interact with Truman Capote. Consider the things you find distasteful at all those other balls you … Continue reading
Bulbish
Gene and I went to the Albany Bulb on Sunday, seeking to escape the relentless techno and cheesy announcer at the Castro Street Fair. The Bulb, if you do not know, is a former landfill for construction equipment. Once it stopped being used, people began making art from the scraps. Now you can go wander … Continue reading
Piece of cake
People who like to come to my neighborhood without actually seeing me (and you know who you are, and I know who you are) should swing by the Castro Street Fair on Sunday. Why? Funtivities! (I hope there will be management parables.) I’m enjoying the World of Wonderment website, not least because one of the … Continue reading
