Open Up Your Golden Gate

The only story you'll need to read this month.  TNSC has visited, or continually frequents, 25 of the 48 establishments listed in this highly comprehensive SF Chronicle exposé.

"Jack was nodding out and wishing he was in a bar
 Charlie Parker on the bandstand and not a worry in the world
 And a glass of beer in one hand and his arms around a girl
 Neal was singing to the nurse Underneath the Harlem Moon
 And somehow you could just tell we'd be in California soon

 Open up your golden gates
 California here I come
 I said California here I come
 Look out California here I come!"

Sign Me Up!

For your next South-of-the-Border vacation, my I suggest the most direct route between Puke-Town and Vomitville?  "Especial" indeed!

And a nice write up on one of our TNSC favorites - The Royal Cuckoo.

"Loco Gringos like a party
 And they like their women firm
 When they drink Tequila
 They fight for the worm!"

Shot of Luv

Heavy lies the hand that holds the pint.

Retro in a good way.

And though we've visited this before, it bears repeating:

Retro in a BAD way.

Happy V-Day, everyone!

Earache My Eye!

File under "eye bleach"

"My right hand holds a cold Corona™ bottle
 My left hand holds a half a fifth of Gin
 My right arm reaches out for her love only
 But my left still embraces a life of sin."
