San Francisco and what to do in it

i did not make yer gig, chaks

its ok! it was sold out anyways and quentin tarantino came!

i didn't even go cuz i knew quentin would just yak my ear off all night like he always does. it gets old, dude!

remy, i live in berkeley too. jupiter has good beer and pizza, kinda has a grad school vibe to it. also, pegasus and moe's books are great bookstores. starry plough has some good shows. ive seen mushroom and dead meadow there.
peoples cafe on shattuck has good coffee, decent food. in berkeley i will go and have a beer at some of the bars but for going out/going to shows theres not much. pretty dud. oaktown is the way to go though for shows, hanging out and meeting people. here is a good place to start if you are interested in oakland noise/underground warehouse shows.

"Also have some tips about Buenos Aires... the first being GO THERE!"

This is my next international planned trip (for 2009, I think.)

LA is my next domestic trip, followed by Chicago, followed by Virginia is FOR LOVERS.

"Granted, nothing is as bad as LAX"

SFO does not have an In'N'Out within walking distance though.

Well shuttle plus a short walk anyway.

Well shuttle plus a short walk anyway.

I wish all the Alexes in all the cities had some kind of superpsychological connexion. In my mind, every Alex in is a descendant of the one in NYC.

i arrive tomorrow. i so fucking cannot wait.

remy, if I come to Bay Area this year can I meet yer porn-starrish roommates?

What is homosexual II staying with remy now?

i'm shocked there are porn starish anything in berkeley

i'll be there on friday! staying four days in montara/palo alto with friends, devoting at least one day to berkeley and probably the remainder to SF, weekend party recommendations very welcome

!@#

I'm out of town this weekend, alas.

He'll fill you in on the details when you arrive.

I didn't mean that literally.

also

hotel biron

Hotel Biron?! Horsefeathers! Go to CAV next to Zuni.

jaxon yeah you did! I was TOTS THERE

i am back in denver now

CAV is where all my annoying coworkers go, so follow M.White there while I bask in the romantic glow of Hotel Biron.

i didnt end up going to many bars while i was in town. just a few while i was already wasted! anyway A++++ time yet again.

moby dick

dude come on - the mirrored bathrooms there creep even my gay friends out

they obviously aren't english beat fans.

haha actually THEY ARE

its the other people in the bathroom they don't like

It's not that I dislike the look of Hotel Biron (incidentally the Hôtel de Biron in Paris is where the Rodin museum is housed) but their wine selection is nothing next to CAV, Sunset Magazine's 2007 wine bar of the year.

HAHAHA

(Also, I know one of the owners and one of the bartenders and they always hook me up with really good stuff)

Mandy, you missed an excellent opportunity to see wine snob power lesbians in their native environment.

and you haven't invited me with you because....????

also, Sunset Magazine... :-D

i liked moby dick! but i didn't use the restroom there

also, Sunset Magazine... :-D

I know! When was the last time you even opened Sunset?

anything going on this weekend???

dancing/shows

so say I want to ride Muni over a day or two. do I understand right that my best options are:

a) cash, i.e. carry lots of quarters around (are bills accepted on buses?)
b) buy a 10-ride token coupon booklet at a muni vendor?

where would be the closest vendor to market and embarcadero?

i think i figured it out
