Warmer in Victoria than in SF right now — this fact is deserving of a towering beer.

Can You See in 3D?

April 15, 2009

So, for reasons still mysterious to me,  I was asked to moderate at the SPUR Blogging-In-SF meeting last night.  On the panel were such diverse elements as Plug1, Mission Loc@l and SF Streetsblog.

(I highly recommend moderating a panel.  You get to listen to everyone’s answers and then sound really clever by repeating what they just said, but using different hand gestures.  Make sure everyone has a beer though, and that you are taller than them.)

In all seriousness, a great event.  I met many blogs for the first time –  NJudah, MuniDiaries, SFist, EveB, MeganAllison, Bikes and The City, just to name a few. All were as witty and attractive as their writing indicate, and the evening was an interesting discussion on the future of blogging and journalism.  Number one point — we need to have a better word than “blaaahg”.

However, the most shocking revelation of the evening was that Allan Hough of Mission Mission CANNOT SEE IN THE THIRD DIMENSION.  (At least using that cross-eyed method, a la my upside-down traffic cone experiment of yesterday.)

Below is another 3D sample — behold the Shmaltz RIPA I had after finishing my taxes this afternoon.

Can you see my Shmaltz in the THIRD DIMENSION?  Answer in the poll below.

Brisket, Beer and Latkes at MSF

March 11, 2009

Mission Street Food may be closed this Saturday, but next weekend, man oh man…

I can’t wait to see what else is on the menu. This could be epic. I am drooling on my keyboard. So everyone show up at 7:30 after I’m done eating, OK?

Mmmm, latkes. I don’t think it’s possible to eat too many latkes. I am going to have to fast that day to fit in all that brisket, latkes and BEER ICE CREAM. And beer.

For the record, I finally got my hands on the Origin Pomegranate Ale. That is one fine beer, as is Lenny’s RIPA. Do yourself a favor and hit up some of the chosen beer BevMo or Whole Foods.

Beer Ice Cream?!

March 6, 2009

In a quadruple-epic alignment of the planets, Humphry Slocombe will be making BEER ICE CREAM using Shmaltz He’brew or Freak brews for Jesse’s beer dinner at MSF on Sat, March 21st.

But which beer to use? Coney Island Lager? Lenny’s Double Rye IPA? Messiah Bold? Origin Pomegranate Ale?  Indicate your desire below!

Note — you can buy these finely crafted Shmaltz brews at BevMo, Whole Foods, and City Beer.  Use this as an opportunity to try a brewing company born in the Mission, right in La Lengua!

Mission Bar Review

October 21, 2008

Nice Mission bar review by Bay or Bust.

Elbo Room *is* pretty dark but I’m OK with that. My European friends LOOOVE it when they are in town. The upstairs is decent, but good god does it get ridiculously hot up there. Time for some roof fans, Elbonians.

Food at the Phoenix is surprisingly good. 500 Club and Make Out Room are solid. This Inner Mission Beer Parlor intrigues me.

I also like Latin American Club, especially if you can get the table at the little stage in the back. Rather tasty (and deadly powerful) margaritas there, plus they are cool if you bring in a burrito from El Faralito. And of course there’s The Knockout.

But you can’t beat sitting outside with beer in hand at Zeitgeist on a nice day. I am a big fan of the outdoor beer. It’s half the reason I have a backyard.
