Sunday is Saint Stupid parade! Who’s going & when? I’m a little conflicted between going to the parade and learning how to make fruit infused vodka. I would like a ride down to the boys tomorrow if anyone is going down.
I bought tix for d-dolls June 29 at the Greek. […]

For my sister’s birthday, Dennis and I took her and her fiance out for dinner at Aqua. This is one of those popular fancy restaurants that my sister has been talking about for years.

pea soup
sturgeon with chickpea
skate with portabello
pot roast with prawns
creme brulee
chocolate tart
lemon souffle

crappy cameraphone photos from […]

Music anybody?

Posted by on 04 Jan 2007 at 3:15 pm under concert, lovemakers, music, kid beyond, ok go, san francisco, the independent, event

Kid Beyond and The Lovemakers at the Independent Jan 19. How exciting! Two performs I like playing at the same show. Kid Beyond is a badass beatboxer (he performed at Evilution if anyone remembers that far back).
Is anyone interested in Snow Patrol and Ok Go at Bill Graham? I’m conflicted because […]

Ok, more movies to amuse you

I made a movie about SF weather.
Yesterday we broke up into groups and we had 45 minutes to do a 30 second Jumpcut Commercial. Here are the results.

The first two are funny, the second is a little more zen, […]

Music and food

The Dresden Dolls have become so popular that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to enjoy them at a small-medium sized venue again. They will be performing at The Warfield, but alas, it is sold out. Sadness. Though I am willing to drop $40-50 to see them perform, dealing with scalpers […]

Moroccan in the Mission

Posted by on 09 May 2006 at 8:33 pm under san francisco, food, restaurant, seafood, chicken, lamb, moroccan, amira

Last Saturday, Dennis and Adam and Katie and I went to the fabulous Moroccan place in the Mission. I can’t remember what it was called (I think it starts with ‘A’), but it was on Valencia between 16th and 17th near Bombay Ice Cream.
The place is very comfortable–low light, cushioned seats and benches. […]

Dinner at Maverick’s

Posted by on 06 May 2006 at 6:47 pm under san francisco, food, american cuisine, fish, maverick, restaurant, seafood, clams, soup

Last night Dennis and I went to Maverick’s for dinner. The place is tiny–seats maybe 30. The food is very ‘american’ (vegetarian unfriendly), but the service is excellent. Dennis is very fond of this place for that reason. (It is also within the allowed 4 block radius of our home). […]

nitevibe party

Posted by on 10 Mar 2006 at 1:22 pm under music, san francisco, ucb, club, evil, interview, nitevibe, club six, facing evil

I went to Club six on Wednesday to shake my booty to the top 10 djs in sf. One of the first things that I noticed was that there were no creepy men invading the personal spaces of unsuspecting victims. Back in Milan, I loved going to clubs, but I hated fending off […]
