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.

Balls

Litquake kicks off on Friday with their first annual Book Ball. Loosely based on Truman Capote’s famous (IN-famous?)

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.
