This is the best-looking music video of the decade:

And this one’s a close second.

Not sure exactly how this is gonna work, but our pal Rob behind the bar says he’s working on a collab with a chef from Saison which will result in, yes, chilaquile bloody marys. I can’t wait. Blind Cat (formerly known as Dirty Thieves AKA Treat Street) opens in 30 minutes. Free BBQ too, just like every Monday.

There’s a car under there too.

(Thanks, Russell!)

A little birdie told us our buddy Josh Yule is covering the happy hour shift at the Knockout tonight, and serving up his famed bloody marys til he runs out of supplies. Josh pickles his own okra, and his ladyfriend pickled carrots, green beans and radishes just for this auspicious occasion.

Bartenders all over town have been telling Josh to take his marys public for years. Today is the day. See you all there. RSVP and invite your friends!

We’re happy to report that in addition to the main table at tonight’s event, this handsome custom-made mini ping pong table will be on hand. Exercise a completely different skill set with a game or two on it!

American Tripps starts at 7PM sharp!

The Bay Bridged presents its annual celebration of local music at the Verdi Club tomorrow night. Here’s a list of reasons you will want to attend:

1. Little Wings are rad.
2. This is the last Royal Baths show in SF as an SF band. They’re moving on up.
3. They’re raffling off Outside Lands tickets and Treasure Island tickets, and other stuff.
4. Food by Rosamunde and Rocky’s Frybread.
5. The Verdi Club is the bomb.
6. Great DJs will keep the dance party going well into the night.
7. While supplies last, attendees receive a free hand-screened poster.
8. My sister says Sea of Bees are rad.

What more could you possibly need? RSVP and invite your friends here. Get advance tickets here.

That two-week hiatus thanks to that extra-long July was brutal! Can’t wait! (But be sure to do your pre-gaming at American Tripps! Doy!)

Mission Local reports from last night’s pivotal (and controversial) meeting of the Dolores Park Rehabilitation Project:

“We should build a pissoir so there are more bathrooms for women,” asked a woman.

“Our pissoir subcommittee will look at that,” promised [landscape architect Steve] Cancian.

Sounds like the event was a real laugh riot! Read on.

(Thanks, Tricia. I think.)

UPDATE: Our pal Scum remind us this grisly mess follows close on the heels of another grisly (and perplexing) mess on Capp Street.

We reported last week that next week there would be a taping of Bourdain’s new show at Zeitgeist. This week, Zeitgeist sent out this update:

No Reservations will be taping at Zeitgeist on August 12th, between 1:30pm and 3pm.

Anthony Bourdain will NOT be present for the taping.

I don’t buy it.

(Thanks, Amy!)
