Remember that 80's movie "Revenge of the Nerds"? Well, it looks like the nerds may have finally won. Bill Gates practically owns the world, even musicians have to be computer geeks nowadays, and gamers have online worlds like Second Life where they can ...

The Tunnel Top bar on Bush street, atop the Stockton tunnel (hence the dark mystery of the bar's name is shockingly solved) is one of the finest watering holes in San Francisco. It is a funky, cozy space with a small, downstairs and a mezzanine and a narrow balcony that overlooks the ruckus below, offering a fine people-watching vantage.

The barstools are primitive wood affairs, but more comfy than you ...

Again, as I said in a previous post, while being able to visit big name wineries is fun, one of the biggest advantages of a trip to wine country is seeking out the smaller wineries with unique blends and eclectic atmospheres. Today I will tell you of another small family owned winery we've tried: J. Pedroncelli Winery.

The Oakland Coliseum, on the ...

I don't know about you dudes, but I would have to say that Wayne's World is the greatest movie of all time and has pretty much shaped me into the person I am today.  With that said, the 2007 San Francisco Women’s Film Festival concludes April 15th with a closing night party, co-presented by Bust Magazine and Film Arts Foundation!

Starting at 7pm at 111 Minna Gallery, ...

It was more than a year ago when one of my roommates said that they had a friend who was opening a cafe on Valencia street and that this place was going to really focus on the coffee - the picking, roasting and brewing - for optimal taste. They were referring to Ritual ...

It is almost that time of year again.

SF BEER  FESTIVAL.

Ta da! I have had the pleasure of volunteering at the event the last few  years and find it to be a most amusing experience.

Created as a benefit to the Telegraph School Cooperative, the SF Beer Fest is a great chance to sample hundreds of beers that you may know about, and then hundreds of others you DON'T know about.

Those are ...
