Se habla weekend.
FROM PERKS
Less is more. Take the lacy undergarments, bodysuits and swimwear from Fleur du Mal. And then, hey, take an extra 15% off those things with the discount code URBANDADDY. Not the most creative discount code in the world, but, really, who cares?
SIP-AND-SLIDE
If you’re thinking, “After work tonight, I’d like to taste a number of rare whiskeys and, what the heck, pair them with some sliders,” then you’re in luck. Because that’s exactly what’s happening at Barbarossa this evening. Sometimes things just work out like that.
BASQUE IN THE GLORY
Aatxe’s new Pintxo Hour is a nightly affair with $1 bites like chorizo deviled eggs, $5 patatas bravas and $8 gin and tonics. If that doesn’t bring you happiness, well, maybe you walked into the wrong place.
PLEAD THE FIFTH
And then there’s this special screening of The Fifth Element in a revamped Chinatown theater that involves multiple projectors, two live shows and, oh yeah, an epic dance party to follow. Bruce Willis always insists on a dance party.
OH, BROTHER
A quick jaunt down to Los Gatos sounds nice. Particularly when it involves stopping at Loma Brewing Company, a new brewpub from the Youkilis brothers. Scott’s behind great SF spots like Hog & Rocks. Kevin is… well, he’s the baseball-playing Kevin Youkilis. Anyway, they’re making beer now, and you should go drink some.
PLAN ACCORDINGLY
Here’s a thing you never knew existed: a weekend festival dedicated to all things accordion, including polka, zydeco and a pinup calendar filled with accordion-playing ladies. Strange. But nevertheless, it’s happening in Cotati, there’s beer and real summer weather, and did we mention the fact that it’s an accordion festival?
Lauren Sloss requires a climate that allows her to wear motorcycle boots daily. She likes her bourbon neat and her martinis dirty, and would like to be the lead singer of a punk rock band when she grows up.
