Hump This
Drink: Bar 888
Four Seasons-esque elegance meets shiny modernity at the InterContinental's new, grandfather chair'd lobby bar. In a bold move, grappa is the booze de la casa, served solo, or in daring cocktails like the Moscone (Grappa Da Ponte di Prosecco, Calvados, Crème de Cassis, Fresh Lemon, and Quince Paste). Sadly, the paint-peeling grappa-rita has been slighted, despite being the crown jewel of the What's-in-My-Fridge 'Tini cocktail family.
Event: Big B.A.D. Dirty Smackdown
To raise money for their-own-damn-selves, all three area Roller Derby teams (SF's ShEvil Dead, the Oakland Outlaws, and the Richmond Wrecking Belles) will spend an evening tearing at each other's scant clothing in a mud wrestling ring. It's an epic collision of lecherous pseudo-sports, and the winner is...you?
Food: Tataki
Elegant, intimate, and all sorts of other qualities women appreciate as date-friendly, Tataki's slinging traditional sushiya fare (sashimi, specialty rolls, nigiri) plus not-fish beef carpaccio. Incidentally, Tataki also boasts a top-flight bathroom: dazzlingly mosaic'd, futuristically lit, and all sorts of other qualities horny men will use as excuses to lure dates into bathrooms.
Gear: Chillin is Going Back Where it All Started....
Grab a cocktail and float through this boozy party/showcase featuring 50 local designers, 2 bars, 5 DJs, and live music from Little Yellow Perfect, which had been a side project of The Subjunctive.
Watch: TSA Gangstaz
Maybe you knew SFO's airport security goons were laughing behind your back. But did you know they were also rhyming behind your back?
