Hump This
Drink: Save the Sazerac
Roll down to Elixir to overconsume America's oldest cocktail (plus a modern spin-off called the Shirazerac), and learn historical factoids, e.g., its invention by a self-medicating French Quarter pharmacist, long before the appearance of America's boldest panacea, the Hurricane.

Gear: Villains Dot Sale
Villains is clearing out fall/winter with up to 50% off all brands (Vintage Vantage, Scotch and Soda, Cheap Monday, etc), with tees and Vans shoes as low as $10. Note: dots correspond to certain brands only, so save your label-swapping shenanigans for Tower Records Goodwill.

Rock: Wolfgang's Vault
The Bill "Wolfgang" Graham rock archive has added Noisepop and Daytrotter catalogs to its online store, letting you stream new tunes (some free to download) while browsing through vintage posters, apparel, photography, and backstage swag from guys so old, their streaming is only accomplished with the help of their doctor, who recommends AVODART.
Eat: Hard Knox Cafe
SF's favorite/only Vietnamese Texan-owned soul-food spot's opened a second location, with the same down-home staples served in a setting reminiscent of country shack. The liquor license arrives next week, so 'til then it's BYO-White Lightning.
Click: Cab Spotting
This Exploratorium-run site brightly tracks Bay Area cab routes via GPS, and features time-lapse representations that look oddly like firing neural synapses ("This is your cab on drugs").
