No doubt one of the hottest and most exciting musical duos that the Yay Area has ever produced, The Cataracs mashed straight out of Berkeley, and set out to Hel-LA to reinvent the music industry and the history of the world one Techno Hop track at a time. Cyrano and Campa are about to blow the fuck up!

All of us remember the cuddie Mac Dre as a "black hippie," a fun-loving, Thizzed-out rap legend and the father of a movement called Hyphy. But how many of y'all remember the days of The Crest, Romper Room, bank heists, and 5 years in Federal Prison in Fres-NO for keepin it tight?

That's my boy! Cy Young Winner Tim "The Franchise/Freak" Lincecum cemented his place in my heart as The Best Thing in Bay Area Baseball as he was pulled over in Washington for speeding, and broke the seal of his hotboxed Benz to accept his ticket. TIGHT, HELLUV!

When we last left our 1920's Superstars Re-emerged in San Francisco in 2009, they were feeling a bit hyphy after Irish Coffees at Buena Vista, and Stanley finally convinced Ollie to take the plunge into San Francisco's favorite notoriously gay district, The Castro. Gaymazing!!!

In honor of the 60th anniversary of Candyland, the Milton-Bradley® (now Hasbro®) board game invented in San Diego, Lombard Street (falsely attributed with being the curviest street in SF) was turned into a real life game board for a few hours this past Wednesday, in a feat only to be described as Tight. Helluv.

Who doesn't love those wild and crazy 1920's superstars Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy? Well now, 90 years later, Laurel & Hardy are back in the same pair of pants (yes, in the same pair of pants as eachother) ready to rock and roll around San Francisco, tipping their cap to the sites and sounds.

AY, DIOS! LOS PINCHE DOYERS! The only thing that could make Tuesday night's 9-1 loss to the FUCKING DOYERS of Los Angeles was the touching, amazing, heartfelt, dope, sick wit it, super slick National Anthem featuring none other than my sister from another mister, Ellen Toscano and her Beach Blanket Babylon homegirls.

Not even a day after I finished my epic tome of a congratulations to the Oakland A's, Tommy Everidge got the call to start at First Base for the A's in the storied and historic Fenway Park in Boston, and absolutely crushed his first major league hit off the motherfuckin Green Monster, of course a double, the same way I remember him abusing fools when we were in Babe Ruth.
|
 |
This has to be the best weekend EVER for the Oakland A's in my entire lifetime. 1 of my friends from Sonoma got traded to the A's (still in AAA), 1 of my friends got called up to the A's real-deal team (CONGRATULATIONS TOMMY!) and Rickey Henderson goes into the Holluv Fame. Is this real?

One of the most omnipresent and unforgettable advertising campaigns of my lifetime for Taco Belluv has lost its star after the unfortunate passing of Gidget, the "Yo Quiero Taco Bell" chihuahua, who suffered a terrible stroke and had to be euthanized at the ripe old age of 15.

In my former time as a Music Critic for IGN.com, I had a ton of wonderful opportunities to cover ridiculous shows in San Fran when they rolled through. Here is one of my articles about my biggest festival to date at the time, The Rock the Bells Tour in 2007 in the parking lot of AT&T Park on a beautiful and hot as balls summer day.

Egypt's "Boy King" Tutankhamun has returned to San Francisco a little over 3,000 years after his reign of rule, and 30 years after his last trip to the glorious De Young Museum, for an exhibition entitled Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs running from June 27, 2009 through March 28, 2010.

I saw these words first at a bar in Dublin, Ireland over 420 pints of Guinness, and I didn't know at first whether I loved them so much because Guinness made me or because the words are simple, touching, and profound. Almost 6 years later, the words remain with me, helping to inspire me to be the tightness.

The Critical Mass cyclist whose assault at the hands of the NYPD in 2008 was captured on tape by a member of the crowd lining the streets and subsequently posted on YouTube garnering 2,000,000+ hits thanks his lucky stars it was caught on tape as he now sues the NYPD for $1.5 million.

Now that Spring has sprung and Summer is upon us, the light is just right for the infamous and mysterious perfect 2:00PM Titty shadow that is cast upon St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco, located at 1111 Gough Street near Octavia and Geary. Tit-tacular!

San Francisco is one of the only cities I know of in this glorious country of ours that throws block party fairs & helluvbrations for a street just because the street deserves it. Outdoor Drinking Season has begun in San Francisco and I was MVP status for the Haight-Ashbury Street Festivelluv!

One of the greatest tributes to a legend that I have ever seen is the Mac Dre mural South of Market in San Francisco. After the Mac's unfortunate death in Kansas City, shot in a drive by on the freeway, artists in San Francisco banded together to pay tribute to the Father of the Hyphy movement.

We all know and love Stewie from Family Guy, but most of you probably don't know what it is like to Go Stewie, Bay style. Get your learn on in this post about how to get overly stupid, retarded or hyphy on a buckethead beezie, and be sure to go bananas.

I will forever marvel at the fact that this license plate was available. It is a blue issue California plate which means it is definitely a bit older, but this person is my new idol. I would offer to buy it off of them if that was legal, but of course, if they would agree to sell, I would slap them.

Jobless young San Franciscans are welcoming the worst recession of their lives with open arms. In one of the best examples of flippin a negativo into a positivo, the young workforce of San Francisco are turning unemployment into FUNemployment. Too bad the party can't last forever...
...or can it?

Without a doubt, Stomper, the helluvphant mascot of the Oakland Athletics, is the best mascot in MLB. Yes, most of you might try and argue, well, what the fuck does a helluvphant have to do with baseball? To those naysayers, I say, have you ever seen a helluvphant that can move and shake like THIS....

Late one evening after partaking quite liberally in some of my favorite shrub, I was cursing Comcast for their lack of decent programming past Last Call. That is, until I found SF Public Access TV, and found one of the most talented poets in the Bay Area, Brian Peron.
