40 going on 28. The blog that "normally only really covers crappy tv shows and product advert type endorsements" - MissionMission commenter. Thursday, December 20, 2012. How an REM tribute band (temporarily) changed me from a bitter cynic back to a bright-eyed youth. Regular readers of this space may be under the impression that I am an angry and bitter crank, content to hurl invective from underneath my bridge. I can see why you'd get that impression! But then last night I was at the Makeout Room. They ...

40 going on 28: I have seen the future of fancified fast food, and it is the McDonalds on Sutter Street

40 going on 28. The blog that "normally only really covers crappy tv shows and product advert type endorsements" - MissionMission commenter. Friday, May 15, 2015. I have seen the future of fancified fast food, and it is the McDonalds on Sutter Street. While we weren't looking, the Food Engineers at McDonalds snuck into the Union Square area and installed a new restaurant. Did I say "new restaurant"? Yes I did. But that's not right. They installed THE FUTURE. (ominous organ music). But oh the choices!

Noted local radio host/IPA enthusiast Burrito Justice had a bold proposal:. New SF zoning requirement: mandatory bar and/or live venue in every new condo development. 8212; Burrito Justice (@burritojustice) April 23, 2015. Maybe because I had a similar thought. The Massive Project at 16th and Mission. Has alr...

40 going on 28. The blog that "normally only really covers crappy tv shows and product advert type endorsements" - MissionMission commenter. Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Anatomy of Date Night gone wrong. When you have a kid, Date Night is a big deal because you get to go out with your Life Partner and someone else is taking care of your deal and so you want everything to go right because it doesn't happen that often. Last night, everything did not go right. A monthly storytelling series at Verdi Club. As...

40 going on 28: Let's get a new State Song, California
http://40goingon28.blogspot.com/2015/05/lets-get-new-state-song-california.html
40 going on 28. The blog that "normally only really covers crappy tv shows and product advert type endorsements" - MissionMission commenter. Monday, May 4, 2015. Let's get a new State Song, California. If you watch as much TV as I do, you've almost certainly been bombarded with those Jeep ads featuring what sounds like a scratchy 78 of a guy singling/warbling an old timey song. The cover for the sheet music is pretty terrific. And has since been repurposed by other artists:. From 3 Fish Studios. Our firs...

Online troll, online troll. Mary had an online troll. Who ruined her Internet. It followed her around online. Round online, round online. It followed her around online. Itsy bitsy spider signed up with Instacart. Down came her pay and broke the spider’s heart. Out came the lawyers who sued up and down the line.

40 going on 28. The blog that "normally only really covers crappy tv shows and product advert type endorsements" - MissionMission commenter. Wednesday, May 6, 2015. As predicted, most other State Songs are pretty lame. STATE SONGS 2: THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL. Remember a couple of days ago when we talked about how California needs a new State Song and then Burrito Justice went on his radio show. And talked about it some more? Is the New Jersey State Song. Tennessee, not content with just one Official Song,...

Also at 30 feet. Thanks again to everyone for the kind words on my Dad's passing. We were just coming home from the funeral yesterday when Frontier flight 663 from Denver to SFO EXPLODED WITH DRAMA which in turn cheered me up a lot. I guess he thinks he already paid for drinks and didn't get them? Here's your money....

We open on a busy San Francisco thoroughfare. The time is earlier this morning. Our protagonist, ME, is just returning to his street from dropping off his adorable daughter at day care. (Or, as she would put it, "day tare." She can't do hard c's or k's yet.). What, from all the way up there? Now, at this point, ...

Is this the most expensive AirBnB in San Francisco? Why pay $2,700 a night for a one-bedroom suite at the Four Seasons on Market when you could get a whole house? Villainous, city-ruining AirBnB. I picked some dates more or less at random and then slid the money slider over to the top. Science! For $2128 a night. It looks OK, I guess. It's bein...
