Hump This
Eat: uWink
From the Atari and Chuck E. Cheese visionary, uWink's an "interactive restaurant" that outfits every diner w/ a touchscreen console for ordering up martinis, daiquiris, etc, plus grub ranging from greasy apps like buttermilk-battered chicken strips to mains like Korean skirt steak and chicken/pesto carbonara. Entertainment options include console-based trivia, cards/dice, and classics like Pong; unfortunately, it's illegal to have a ball-pit anywhere that serves daquiries.
Check the grub and the games at uWink.com
Gear: 50-80% off at Huff
Hit the sneak-dealer's funeral pyre sale for price-slashed rarities like multi-colorway'd Mexico 66s and Revolves by Asics, Nike Dunks/Blazers/Air Max 90s, and the city's finest collection of Vans' chunky Half Cabs, throwback Eras and slip-ons, and No Skools -- equally influenced by skaters, and Mormons.
Check the collection at HufSF.com
Eat/Sing: Cafe Splash Restaurant
Anchored by a futuristically cascading fountain, this cavernous Viet lounge serves up everything from standard spring rolls, to hot pots (oxtail w/ mixed veggies, herbed fish in tamarind broth...), to sliced marinated pig's ear. Beer/wine's served til 2am weekends (12am weekdays), and there's also English- & Asian-language karaoke, both in the main room and in a cushy-couched VIP, starting when the resto opens at 10am -- but how to make a sufficient ass of yourself with nothing but iced coffee in your veins?
Gear: Cordarounds' Bike to Work Pants
The SF cord-innovators' latest, these relaxed-fit, brushed pebble cotton khakis sport seersucker front pockets & belt-liner, while the inner cuff, inseam, and rear pocket innards are sewn up with ultra-reflective "Illuminite Teflon" -- protecting you from traffic, until some driver horrified by your glowing buttocks hits you on purpose.
Click: CLHack
Since craigslist postings that don't come with pics are useless (and generally submitted by very old people), use this mashup to scan through categorized thumbnails pulled from those that do. An extra click gets you the accompanying listing's post date, contact info, and blurb ("Internet-savvy Grandma seeks whippersnapper").
