And Now Let's Laugh at Sonoma County

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

We all know that goofy gangsta raps about white people shit (read: food) are a thoroughly exhausted meme, but with lyrics like “just one thing missing from this blessed day, a motherfucking magnum of cuvee chardonnay” and protips for how best to deal with spazzing girlfriends, this one is worth a watch.  Also, there's lots of gratuitous grape eating and box throwing, which were two of my favorite activities as a temperamental child.

New Farina Pizza Corner Unveiled

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

Crews tore down the plywood yesterday to unveil this bumpy, white-walled pizza spot/70s coke den at the corner of 18th and Valencia.  One of the construction workers said it was to be on outpost of Farina (its main location just up the street) and, by the looks of it, they are intending to sell a lot of wine.

(Also, is this actually news?  Come to think of it, I've never even been to the old Farina.  I don't think anyone's ever been.  Are they still in business?)
