Here’s what it’s like to see Conor Oberst at Bottom of the Hill

Like it’s 2002 or something.

I won’t get into any detail because I don’t want to spoil anything for people going to tonight’s show at the Regency Ballroom, but the Desaparecidos show last night at BOTH was siiiick. This photo by a Conor Oberst fan blog proves it happened.

Here, Conor weighs in on national politics:

Conor Oberst: I used to think that republicans were evil, but now I realize that the democrats are just as bad, and it’s really the corporations who run our country. Our two party system is broken, and we need some radical change.
Audience heckler: What happened to your pro-Obama stance?
Conor Oberst: 4 years. [via Faust on the Shore]

The Eagle to soar again soon!

SFist delivers the wonderful news:

This just in: The San Francisco queer community gets to keep the Eagle. Via a very, very excited update on the Save the Eagle Facebook page, “Gays sign Eagle Lease!!!!” [link]

Yussssss! Now hopefully the below video (rad as it is, and rad as the show was) will no longer be “the last show at the Eagle” (nor “the last Oh Sees shoe at the Eagle”).

Dognapped!

From Deidre D. via our Facebook timeline:

Today around 3:15pm I tied my dog Z up to a tree on 19th St in front of Radish, just off Valencia. I went into a store for about 10-15 minutes. When I came back she was gone and there was no sign of her. I am pretty sure she was stolen. She has a locator chip in her but it will only be useful if she is turned in. She is a yellow lab mix. I am desperate to get her home safely. We’re offering a huge cash reward on her behalf, no questions asked. If anyone has any ideas on how to get her back please let me know. I’m new to the Mission.

Contact us if you have any thoughts and we’ll get them to Deidre.

UPDATE: Z has been found! Yay!

Drink of the week: the Stranger

I’ve been working my way through the new cocktail menu at Dalva’s Hideout and I think I found the winner. Lemon, gin, cocchi, and sort of bitters float (see pic) make it just the right amount of boozy and mouth-puckering. A healthy dose of Becherovka, a cinnamon and nutmeg-y Czech liqueur that tastes like a Christmas at your drunk grandma’s house, puts it over the top. With hits like this, the Hideout will surely remain my favorite place in town to get a fancy cocktail from a bartender who is not wearing suspenders.

Here’s a pretty good punk song about Diet Coke

It’s called “Diet Coke”:
