Damn, that's not very outrageous!

Damn, second year in a row! Thx for the heads up.

Tracy Chapman Wants to Speak for Herself For years, the singer and songwriter has avoided the spotlight. But she is breaking her silence to look back on her self-titled debut and its powerful hit “Fast Car.”

"My expectation was that we wouldn’t be here. I really believed we were going to be in a better place, with more justice and more equity and less violence."

Dude walking onto this MUNI train with a glass of wine in one hand and bottle of pills in the other is truly embodying the spirit of Easter.

Ready for the elevated cocktails and critically-acclaimed pinball machines in mint condition bar!

The Tina Fey voiceover thing kinda blew it up. Pretty sure Gestalt still has a table. But for my money, it’s Twilight Zone all day! 👁️

Woo-hoo! A 'Simpsons'-themed bar just popped up in downtown SF - 48 hills Moe'z has 'Duft' beer, Squishee machines, a Flaming Moe, and fancy Springfield-ian cocktails.

Stumbled upon a Simpsons-themed pop-up bar in Downtown SF that opened a few days ago. Can confirm that it's a damn hell ass cromulent hang and wrote about it for @48hills.bsky.social ~(_8^(I)

All-Star Weekend buzzed with the best of San Francisco - 48 hills NBA showcase brought out diverse crowds, civic spirit, and cultural hustle that make the city great—crispy BBQ brisket included.

“For the first time in a while, the whole world got to see San Francisco for the creative, diverse, exciting, scenic and accessible destination that it’s always been.”

Waxed on our city shining so bright at NBA All-Star Weekend, for @48hills.bsky.social

The 10 Best Spanish Restaurants and Bars in San Francisco Gambas al ajillo and patatas bravas do numbers in the City by the Bay

Kendrick and SZA up there doin it at the Super Bowl halftime show got me emotional y’all. This is beautiful 🙌

Anthony Davis continues to be the most underrated player in the NBA. While the Lakers absolutely make the Luka trade 100 times out of 100, don’t pretend like AD is anywhere near washed. Still one of the most unguardable players in the league and a perennial DPOY candidate.

Why is SF's NBA All-Star Weekend musical lineup so meh? - 48 hills Flo Rida and The Chainsmokers? Give us E-40, give us Kehlani, give us Larry June—not this random mash-up.

Wrote about an achingly terrible slate of NBA All-Star Weekend Concerts in SF, for @48hills.bsky.social.

Anchor Brewing keeps changing. But thanks to one employee, its distillery has stayed true to its roots The master distiller at the SF distillery now known as Hotaling & Co. is retiring, 45 years after joining Anchor Brewing.

A long overdue paean to a San Francisco whiskey legend. Here's wishing distiller Bruce Joseph all the best in retirement.

The first ten minutes of this set and how this absolute legend builds energy and vibe needs to be studied in a college course.

I kept thinking about living the Richard Nixon bowling poster in Jeff Lebowksi's home 😂

There's a VIP Bowling Alley in the Basement of an SF Music Venue We spent a night at Fifth Arrow, a gorgeous bowling haunt in the most unlikely place: underneath August Hall

Peeled the curtain back on Fifth Arrow, a private subterranean bowling alley/funhouse beneath one of my favorite concert halls in SF, for InsideHook.
