  1. Gonna be underdressed in a few minutes tho.
  2. This whole shitshow in the past few pages can be summed up by the “Tang” argument in season 2.
  3. Geez, would’ve been very nervous sabering that. Clean cut too.
  4. Picked a good weekend to come in town, Fogust broke for a few days.
  5. Rich Table is one of the best in the city. More of a special occasion spot for us bc of the tasting menu, need to go soon. If you liked that cooking, their old chef de cuisine opened his own spot, Ernest, which is a little more casual. Radhaus is in Fort Mason (aka Frat Mason), it is kid friendly and is a good spot. Usually on Fridays they have live music and food trucks in the complex but I checked and it doesn’t look like it’s going on right now. If y’all are walking around, recommend checking out the new Francisco Park. Also, the new Presidio tunnel tops have a big playground and usually food trucks/bars on weekends. Parking is pretty easy.
  6. Some strong fetty leans right there.
  7. Love High Hat. You able to check out Pigeon and Whale while you were on Freret?
  8. At the Big Six level, almost everything goes to legacies and feeder schools, which have number caps and this the girls battle over all summer. My wife didn’t like one candidate from her HS because of her reputation so put her picture on the rear entrance of the house to make a point. I was never able to find her, but I’ll always regret not managing to run into “Backdoor Ellie”.
  9. Yes, a waste of money, but in the more fucked up sense that it’s a futile exercise for most of rush for big southern schools is done by HS graduation. The moms at my wife’s high school began doing volunteer sorority prep classes junior year (before you go to Round Up, duh) and she thought that was the most normal thing in the world.
  10. Well let’s be clear here: this is the result of 50 years of blatant, naked anti-growth NIMBYism (Monterrey County being one of the worst offenders besides my own San Francisco). The state has finally, purportedly, taken RHNA requirements seriously with the new housing element and the unanimous reaction of coastal California has been “Fuck you, I got mine”, so I’d expect the Texodus to continue for a generation because Californians have destroyed any aspiration of affordability.
  11. I can only imagine the toll 75 degrees and breezy sunshine takes on a man.
  12. I literally referred to “as a practical matter”, the lived experience. Of course Houston is objectively worse but you are insulated from the heat except for the spare moments when you exit your home to your SUV to your frigid office. On that note, I realized I’d lived in CA too long when I thought it was a good idea to walk 2 miles through Montrose one day last summer. JFC.
  13. Having lived in both, disagree as a practical matter. DC is on a swamp. You try cramming on the red line and walking from Union Station to the Hill in a suit when it’s 93 degrees. NYC arguably almost as bad too.
  14. Like, the city of Sonoma? Don’t do many tastings in the area but Valley Bar + Bottle and Girl and the Fig on the square are great restaurants.
