Weekend Recap: 2/23/2009
This weekend, like most these days, came too slow, and ended way too fast. I had the chance to stop by Slide, a place I have had a love/hate relationship with over the years, but this weekend reminded me why I continue to come back.
Slide
Positives: Slide attracts a high end clientele, and sort of has a mystery about it since it can be difficult to get into. The crowd is pretty...

Kid CuDi [Newish Music]
Kid CuDi is one of my new favorite hip-hop oriented artist. I say hip-hop oriented due to the fact that he is influenced by many different types of music and that’s reflected in his work. XXL magazine added him to their hip-hop’s ten freshmen of ‘09 list, and he clearly belongs there. The “martian”, or “man on the moon” as he calls himself in his latest...

Weekend Recap: 2/17/2009 (extended addition)
Still sightly recovering from an extra long weekend, and was able to hit up more clubs thanks to it. This week I’m reviewing Mist and Fluid (we all like some misty fluid here and there jk), so enjoy!
Mist
Positives: Mist (which was formally known as loft 11), has a pretty nice interior, and to my knowledge is the only place in SF with a glass dance floor for the upstairs VIP section. ...

The Show Show [Funnies]
The Show Show is a weekly current events/gossip commentary webshow hosted by the hilarious Bari the Beautiful. I don’t know how I exactly stumbled upon this - I think it was during my freshmen year in college and someone forwarded me a message on BlackPlanet (remember that? social network 1.0), but ever since then I haven’t missed an episode. Bari does a good job breaking down all...

Valentine's day 2.0 [Tech News]
The guys over at animoto have created a godsend (yes, I know this story broke about a week ago, but I still think this feature is pretty cool). They created a customizable eCard specifically for Vday. Users can upload person pictures of themselves and their boo boo (aka loved one) and it puts the pictures into a slide show. The whole process only takes minutes to complete. Check it out, after...

Empire of the Sun [New Music]
The other day I stumbled upon a new music duo out of Austrailia on The Hype Machine, Empire of the Sun. Something about these guys makes me think they will be successful in today’s music landscape, they’re unique sound, and spiffy wardrobe (which I dig mucho) set them a part from others. The vocals are very remix ready, and the original songs are pretty prestine in their own...

Weekend Recap: 2/8/2009
It’s a well known fact that I’m a fan of the nightlife scene and frequent some of the local hot spots. This weekend I got to go to some of my favorites, and saw the good, bad, and ugly. Here’s a quick review of one of the places I visited this weekend:
Infusion Lounge
Positives: This has got to be one of the sleekest, sexiest designed venues in San Francisco. World renown...
