One of my daily guilty pleasures is coming home from work at night, shaking up an ice-cold martini, and reading the late afternoon editio of the local county rag, The San Mateo Times. Amy, Jeanne, Stillman, JPo... you know what I'm talking about.
The one thing that I look forward to most is a weekly installment called "What's On Tap", written by long-time Bay Area resident, Bill Brand. The article discusses all things beer: local events and reviews for both local and international seasonal offerings. As reported in the Linkey-Loo two weeks ago, Mr. Brand was involved in a freak accident involving an afternoon of imbibing at SF Beer Fest activities, and a MUNI train (he N-Judah to be exact). I was saddened to find out that this past weekend, Mr. Brand succumbed to injuries as a result of this SOMA transit tango.
So, this week, in lieu of some clever connections to silly things, I would like you to remember a fine local journalist, and witness how many lives he has touched.
Please raise a hearty TNSC toast to this fine gentleman.
"I'm the baddest of the bad
Since you've been gone,
The baddest of the bad,
Since you've been gone.
I lay around here
And I just drink beer
The baddest of the bad,
Since you've been gone."
