SF Food Wars: Yeast Affliction: I went to my first SF Food Wars event at Thirsty Bear. The theme was bread. Lots and lots of bread. Way too much bread for anyone to eat in one sitting. I was surprised by how well organized the event was. They limited the number of tickets to prevent an uncomfortably packed venue. Pretty rare. Some breads were delicious; some were… not. I highly recommend Thirsty Bear’s Golden Vanilla beer. Delicious.

How to get the Socialite badge on Foursquare: I put together this Google Map as an itinerary to achieve the Socialite badge in San Francisco on Foursquare. It’s focused around the downtown Union Square area. It was an awesome night. When I got the badge the congratulatory message was: “Keep this up and you’re going to end up on Valleywag with Julia Allison.” Clever. The bars/hotels: Campton Place Hotel Clift Hotel’s Redwood Room Clock Bar Harry Denton’s Starlight Room Otis Rye The Ambassador Of course the list can change every day since anyone can add or remove tags to venues.maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&m… I also put together a map for the SOMA area:maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&m…

Samovar Tea Lounge: Natasha and I had dinner at Samovar in Hayes Valley. I think this place is fantastic. My drink: Nocturnal Bliss tea Honeybush, lemon myrtle, lavender, corn flowers, &stevia harmoniously to chill-you-out. Sip this and assuage fear and worry, soothe frazzled nerves, and go to sleep blissfully and effortlessly. Sleep is the new panacea for productivity, vitality, libido and joy, so sleep a lot and sleep deep. My food: egg Bowl with smoked salmon Organic poached eggs, steamed brown rice w/ hijiki, ginger-soy dipping sauce.www.yelp.com/biz/samovar-tea-lounge-san-francisco-3
