The two girls in this video don’t do anything particularly out of the ordinary but there’s something in the look in their eyes that makes this clip totally scandalous. It’s a quick video of a Kelly Clarkson sing-a-long at the SoMA dance club, Arrow.

David Copperfield escapes from Alcatraz. You get tidbits of interesting Alcatraz history along with the magic trick. The footage is scratchy because it’s from 1987 but it’s good enough to watch. Is David Copperfield creepy or what?

If you’ve ever taken a bus in San Francisco (and if you live here, you probably have) then you know that you’re supposed to get on the bus at the front door so you can pay your fare. You also know that if everyone did that during every trip, the buses would never get anywhere on time. This totally amusing video looks at “fare evaders” on the San Francisco MUNI system. Gotta love it. My favorite part is the one who ignores a ticket being given to him and gets away, proving my theory that if you act like you’re …read more
Venue: BIMBO’S 365
Address: 1025 Columbus Avenue @ Chestnut St.
Neighborhood: North Beach
Types of bands that play here: Bigger but somewhat off-the-wall names (see below)
How often there’s live music: Weekly
Points given for: Large space, big stage, great sound, interesting acts
Points taken away because: Usually pricey and with a drink minimum, shows often sell out early
Overall: Recommended by The Most Kissed Music Journalist as a place to go on special occasion dates; it’s a fabulous “once in awhile” place when bands you know and like are playing there but not a “let’s see what’s happening there this weekend ‘cuz we’re bored” types of …read more
