Also, former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown will be in attendance. Far more importantly, however, is the face that Gold Dust Lounge, now beeping on life support, will offer patrons $1 vodka drinks tomorrow, Friday, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Catherine Hill will also sing a song she wrote about the historic/possibly doomed Union Square bar. more ›

Just in time for San Francisco Gay Pride, Absolut Vodka has introduced a "limited" SF edition. Following on the heels of New Orleans, Loas Angeles, Boston, and (oddly enough) Brooklyn flavors, San Francisco is the fifth city to receive the company's boozy bottle honor. But does it taste good? Normally, flavored vodka taste like corn syrup-tinged diarrhea. (Some might say the same about plain vodka, but those types are usually pretentious mixologists. You need to ignore those people.) In an effort to review the allegedly hella-SF booze, we demanded a PR representative to deliver a free bottle of Absolut SF to our front door posthaste for immediate tasting. more ›

You might want to call in sick to help with cleanup efforts down in Sunnyvale. See, a big rig carrying vodka -- delicious vodka! -- overturned this morning, prompting the closure of all southbound lanes. The accident/Godsend, it seems, happened around 8 a.m. at North Mathilda Avenue. Dated Ab Fab humor aside, emergency crews are "working to extricate the driver of the big rig." Yikes. Northbound traffic, though, is running just fine. (CBS 5) more ›

Oh my God, you guys, no way. Get this: the New York Post was wrong. What's next: Intelligent Design? Celebrity weddings? Our meth-induced epiphanies that the CIA, in cahoots with the Norteños, are reading our emails and listening in on our phone calls? See, it seems that "[n]o slingshots have been found" and that the NY Post was wrong. And we refuse to believe anything Rupert Murdoch-related is less than perfect. more ›

The Dhaliwal brothers, they seem like a couple of nasty little rapscallions. Ruffians, we'll go so far as to say. Why? Because after last week's Christmastime big-cat attack - a mauling that took the life of their "friend," Carlos Sousa Jr. - it seems that at the two brothers "had slingshots on them at the time" - well, at least according to "sources" at the New York Post. (Seriously, aside from aspiring serial killers, who does this? Who goes to a zoo to aggressively taunt the animals? This behavior goes well above and beyond the reliable boys-will-be-boys excuse.) more ›
