A physical ticket stub for the Kendrick Lamar/SZA Grand National tour surrounded by old ticket stubs from shows like Nirvana and The Cure

At the Kendrick/SZA Grand National tour, ushers passed out commemorative ticket stubs for concertgoers. This gesture warmed my nostalgic heart as physical stubs are so rare in this era. A stub is a true collectible to prove you were there but maybe too broke to cop a shirt. Kendrick didn’t forget. ♥️

Ayyy the old man still got it 🏆

What a read.

Got my 85-year-old mom the most Yay Area Mother’s Day gift ever: a La Vic breakfast burrito and Jung Hoo Lee shirt. She’s thrilled lol. 🇰🇷🌯

I needed this breakdown (plot-wise, not emotional), thank you

Every morning, I wake up and take a free cognitive test.

It’s called “Emptying the dishwasher.”

“Clarifying lull” so accurately describes the process of stepping away from the page to engage in an activity (for me, daily pickup soccer) that forces one to react instead of always (over)think. Kudos on incorporating power-lifting into your routine.

Literally just purchased her LP this morning. What timing 😞

Amoeba is right there at Stanyan/Haight. Drop em off and enjoy a long siesta

Luck wished. And your voice — inner and singing — is great, Goh.

Agree, tho Charli XCX/Troye Sivan had the most turnt-up crowd I’d seen since Miley Cyrus ‘Bangerz’ tour

What's (kogi) beef? With a diss track winning Song and Record of the Year, @tamarherman.com just wrote an interesting piece about K-pop artists taking verbal shots at execs, labels, and each other. SMB = "Sh*tman Bang"? Daaaamn son!

Six footers?

As usual, great job providing reliable context Tamar. 👍👏

Gonna hang this in our doorway for the next couple days

If you’re hyped about the Yacht Rock documentary, it might be time to schedule your next colonoscopy

In ‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,’ the kids are alright Disney+’s new live-action “Star Wars” series, starring Jude Law and four new young actors, is child’s play in the best way.

“Jaws was never my thing and I don’t like Star Wars”

Wait, maybe I do like Star Wars. I spoke with the cast and directors of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew for the SF Chronicle.

Fun fact: my power went out hours before so I had to zoom everyone on a laptop tethered to my phone. 😬 shorturl.at/bc69t

Very helpful!

That ripping sound is music writers tearing up and rewriting their “2024 album of the year” stories #GNX

I hope Debbie Deb gets royalties from Squabble Up. She deserves it #GNX

GNX. That’s all

I dunno if it's going well, Goh

Hello! I’m a Bay Area music and culture writer getting bylines in the SF Chronicle. Going cold turkey after deactivating my profile on the sxte thxt shxll nxt bx nxmed. How’s the water over here? 🙃

I walked that area in August and saw so many used clothing stores hawking goods that would have fetched $2 at Savers, being sold for $30-$50 dollars. They were taking our junk, turning it into Japanese cool, and reselling it back to us at inflated rates.
