European creamified ginger bread for your bar pretzels

Here’s a tip: Next time you’re at a bar bummed that the bar pretzels are just a little too lacking in zest, send someone to Whole Foods for a jar of Biscoff Spread — it’s like creamified ginger bread, kind of peanut buttery but containing no nuts, only spices and sweetness and creaminess. And it goes great washed down with that Double Chocolate Stout I mentioned.

Btw, thanks, Amanda!

Stout shots

Here’s a tip: Next time you’re at Shotwell’s bummed that you can’t get shots of bourbon to go with your beers, get shots of Young’s Double Chocolate Stout. It’s no bourbon, but it’s thick and heavy and fun to shoot.

Ping pong party marriage proposal!

Bethany and Jake met at an American Tripps party last year, and they hit it off like crazy, and everyone that knows them agrees they’re staggeringly perfect for each other. Friday night, Jake got up on the big main stage at Rickshaw Stop and popped the question. Bethany said yes and the whole crowd cheered (and I almost cried). Best wishes, you guys! Berlin-style ping pong + Bethany + Jake 4ever!!!!

Here’s the bling:

American Tripps returns to the Rickshaw Stop this Saturday night for a SOUL PARTY, with DJ Wam Bam Ashleyanne spinning soul 45s long into the night. Bethany and Jake will likely be there and you can offer your best wishes. RSVP and invite your friends — maybe somebody will propose to you!

Purple up, purple down

Here’s what the Golden Gate Bridge 75th Anniversary fireworks show looked like from the Mission

I think it goes pretty good with this Stripminers song:

(It’s the singer from the Donnas, and they’re playing Brick & Mortar Music Hall on Thursday.)

Woken up by parade sounds

I like it, because it feels like you’re in Black Orpheus. But not everybody likes it :(

But, c’mon:
