Catch Lucky!

It's St. Patrick's Day (or amateur hour, to the more inveterate drinkers among us), and it's Friday. That's the kind of combination that has the police even more eager to ensure your safety by utilizing sobriety checkpoints all over the Bay Area. Folks, this is not the night to drive drunk, so pull out your Fast Pass, grap plenty of quarters, and hit Transit 511 to plan your night.

And, hey, did you see the comment from Anshuman on how to hack NextBus to reflect your desired route? We tried it for all our favorite Muni lines, and it totally works! Anshuman, you HAVE made a difference.

Now that we did our obligatory mom thing, there are a lot of great places (scroll down for San Francisco) to get your Irish eyes smiling. Hell, we're drinking a green beer right now!
