who wants to publicly admit to the fact they're drinking Coors Light?

Sometimes Yelp Just Won't Do...

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

The more time I spend in Dirty Thieves, the more I love it.  As previously mentioned, they stock one of the best goddamn whiskeys that I've tasted, their bathroom is almost always out of order (not that any self-respecting person would shit in a Mission bar), and their bartenders are world-class.  But recently, they've really stepped their game up:

  1. They got the Twilight Zone pinball machine, which is supposedly one of the “most complex” machines every designed.
  2. The other night there was a large gathering of single strangers meeting up from “the internet” to form “physic connections.”
  3. Their clientele has an excellent choice in music (via playing the entirety of 36 Chambers on the jukebox).

That said, they charge $4 for Coors, so fuck those bastards.

Update: Coors is only $3!

If the City Really Cared About the Environment / Cleaning Up Dolores Park, They Wouldn't Make You Brown Bag It

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

Last night a few of us wanted to get faded walking the length of Divis and decided that was a job properly handled by tallcans.  Of course, the packie was already out of properly sized bags so we had to use fullsize bags.  For fucksake, this is just ridiculous.  Look, I know we're protecting little children who only know Budweiser as “the thing daddy drinks before he hits mommy” and all, but is this really necessary.

  1. People are I am clearly going to drink in public regardless of whatever law you pass.
  2. It's an inexplicably useless waste of paper.
  3. Half the trash tumbleweeds in Dolores Park are brownbags that the recyclers toss to the ground after picking up peoples half-full beers. (Sorry to bring up the EVER PRESSING CONCERN of Dolores Park but this shit is lifeblood)

Anyways, since clearly a blog post isn't going to save the world, I thank you for listening to my rant.
