There I was, looking fierce bouncing up and down in my little black dress and orange pumps, along with bunch of other people.* We few, we Band of Brothers, we Baseball Furies.
Anyway, as the above link to Haighteration shows, the Big Pig, she got messed up.

I don’t know, I think this ride is worth more than it would have been without the battle scars from aught-ten.

*Oh, not really. Actually, after watching on a friend’s big screen (’cause I don’t I have cable ’cause I want the Comcast monopoly to die die die) I had to ride my bike on up to Pac Heights. The city was electric, all over, not just in the Mission and in the Haights.

Remember back in the day, when Little Star Pizza had a GroupOn type of 50% off deal?
Well, that one didn’t last long – sold out with a quickness.
But now, a similar deal is back, courtesy of Google Offers.
See?
Note that this if for Early Birds only, so you’ll need to be seated by 6:30 PM. (Little Stars are busy enough during prime-time dinner hours already, right?)
Hurray!
Also, Hurry! As this deal won’t last long.
So far, all of the other deals offered by Google Offers since it began in San Francisco have been good as well.
Like this:
Now, you know Little Star, right?
Western Addition 846 Divisadero St.
Mission District 400 Valencia St.
Albany 1175 Solano Ave

As recently seen on Polk, near the western fringe of the crime-ridden Tenderloin. Criminals tend to not like crowds of potential witnesses, so dread nought.
Why not get in line at 652 Polk betwixt Eddy and Turk, dine and then make a post to the Yelp, as thousands have before you?

“2010 is the Year of the Tiger! MATCHA kicks off the Lunar New Year and special exhibition Shanghaiwith dynamic tiger-style kung fu (martial art) demonstrated by Shaolin Temple USA monks. Each mode of Shaolin kung fu is associated with an animal, and in Chinese culture, the tiger is king and symbolizes bravery. Its kung fu style involves footwork, acrobatic kicks, and unique fist positions, relying solely on internal power, simplicity, and explosive force. The evening also includes art activities (make your own good luck poster), Shanghai dumplings available for purchase in the museum cafe, cash bars, music by DJ Friendly Traveler, docent conversations, gallery tours of SHANGHAI, and mingling and merriment with friends!”
See you there.
