Just like those poured by my bartender Vice
Any taste of vermouth should be really sublime
When you have a good martini time!"

Burning for You

This usually was my favorite week in SF.  This year, it does actually feel different.

And speaking of Burning Man.... (that's pretty epic)

My personal favorite - Burner Bingo!!!

"Baby boom or 'X',
I don't know what I am,
All i need to know is when it's time to slam,
Threw a little party cause it just felt right,
It lasted ten years and it's goin' on tonight.
Yeah!"

YES!!!  The ChuMaker is back!!!  (the original was posted 4/30/09)

And finally, some GOOD NEWS about an Ess-Eff bar.

"You take the fish,
I'll take the bowl.
You take the dishes.
While you're at it take my soul.
But things ain't so bad,
Cause I got a Galaxy 500!!"

SF Legacy

Ain't she grand?  (be sure to watch the whole thing)

Legacy businesses approved for protectio !!!

BTW, this is NOT a legacy business.

(links by Lake™)

"It's hard to believe I've gone and done it again
Went to a place to see all of my friends
One little sip and now look at me
If this bar were school I'd have a degree."

Solid as a Rock

From the files of Ms. Heather Lake:

30 Rock's Jenna Maroney meets Donald Trump,
in Donald Maroney.

Epic (Olympic) FAILS.

Epic (Expensive) FAILS.

 
"My beer holder's getting bigger everyday
It works better with each beer I put away
Look at here dear, I can set my beer right here and it stays
My beer holder's getting bigger everyday."

My Head is Ringing

Let's be thankful both conventio s are over,  and now it's time to drink like an Olympian.

Someone wishes that this would happen to all the Pokemon Go players in SF.

They should also bowl down lazy dog owners while they're at it.

"I'm gonna let beer write this song
Cause I kind of fear that I'd get it all wrong
All of those fears and all that I lack
Will all wash away with each beer I knock back"

Red vs. Blue

Finally... a TNSC venue with a GREAT landlord.

Hillary imbibes from time to time... so there's THAT reason to vote for her.

This quiz is for Low-retta:  Donald Trump or P.T. Barnum?

"You don't have to remind me,
I smell like a skunk,
Excuse me baby but,
(hicup) I'm drunk!"

Cleveland Rocks

Longtime TNSC list member Heather Lake dutifully submits these links for your enjoyment:

Nope.  Please don't save me from myself.

Well, okay - save us from ourselves.

Yes – definitely save us from ourselves.
(I’m sure all these logos, characters and reproductions were properly licensed)

"Man I'm so Cleveland, it's a god damn shame
So East side I'm a god damn gang
Said you ain't heard about my god damn name
Better ask around here I'm a god damn king!"

Tooth Ow Sand Juan

Forget the ball.  Save the beer! 
(That was kind of epic)

Bad Art Gallery searches out the worst.
(Only in Marin....)

And in honor of one of the finest filmmakers ever,
some pretty great Stanley Kubrick Cinemagraphs.

I call this one "Jack on the Rocks"

"I'm gonna sue Jack Daniels for

hitting me with a trunk of a big ol' live oak tree
he hurt me this morning with the bright sun light
I'm gonna sue Jack Daniels for what he did to my face last night"

Local Edito

Your source for news and local watering holes.  Sometimes both at once.

The loss of a TNSC favorite.

The community rallying for a San Francisco favorite.
(I remember when that place was Club 9.  Kill me....)

And the rise of a new TNSC favorite.
(grrrrllll power!!)

Jet black shoe
Making me act like a clown
From the Lower East Side all the way Uptown."

Interdependence

As we celebrate our independence from Britain, they celebrate their independence from Europe.

We're holding our own, though... cuz this is 'Merica!!

If beer isn't your thing, you can always step it up a notch or two.

"On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July."

Suspension of Disbelief

As one bar, The Riptide, rises from the ashes, another succumbs.

Epic 6am "Loin" bar shuttered for other reasons.  (sorry that I never made it there) 

And the fascinating "Secret World of Foley" film.  
Sounds like an Onion product, but it's not.

"Everywhere everywhere everywhere
Willful suspension of disbelief"

Mr. Bitterness

Feeling bitter after the CA Primary?  Lucky you!!

It's Negroni Week.  Beverages for a good cause.

Some other things to look forward to:
- A beer pipeline
- A 3-legged dog party


 (Links by Lake™)




















"There is a bar they call The Bitter Sea.
And she sits and drinks a velvet crush.
That's Kool-Aid™ and Gin.
Casing the clientele
Like a relentless cameraman.

Best bars to view the Warriors game.

"Loco Gringos like a party with five bails of, hay!

Jumpin' in the dumpster with Pepé, ole!
Loco Gringos like a party
And they like their women firm
And when they drink Tequila
They fight for the worm!"

Edit Life

SF is nothing, if not fashionable.

NYC vs. SF – an epic battle.

Inside the head of an editor.

Those Were the Days...

Like a TNSC "All in the Family"... we reminisce...

Those were the days... at Persian Aub Zam Zam.
.
Those were the days... at The Attic.

These may well be the days (and nights) in the future.

 (Links by Lake™)

"I said, 'Beer, write me a hit.'
Beer said, 'Jim, then you better get lit.'
I proceeded to pound one down
And ordered us another round.
He worked and wrote away
The song was clever yet easy to play
Beer said it had a hit kinda sound
But he forgot to write it down."

Land of Sky Blue Waters

This is something that's near and dear, and a childhood memory of driving through San Francisco and seeing this glorious sign in action.  The black-and-white pictures don't do it justice, so I added one of the few color ones that I could find.

The SF Chronicle's Peter Hartlaub brought it to Ted's attention, and Ted brought it to mine.
(you may need a Chronicle e-scription to view)

Good luck locating your "Holy Grail," Peter.

Enjoy!!

                 "From the land of sky blue waters,
                  From the land of pines, lofty balsams,
                  Comes the beer refreshing,
                  Hamm's, the beer refreshing.

                  Brewed where nature works her wonders,
                  Aged for many moons, gently mellowed,
                  Hamm's the beer refreshing,
                  Hamm's the beer refreshing.
                  Hamm's."
