Naturally caffeinated yerba maté IPA makes a good Four Loko replacement?

Janebook had hypothesized that it would. Here’s what actually happened:

Yesterday Aaron got me a MateVeza, that yerba maté IPA I anticipated as a replacement to Four Loko. Unfortunately it has two fatal flaws: (1) it’s so hoppy that it kind of tastes like cured meat, which is weird, (2) although I definitely felt the maté buzz, it’s not alcoholic enough to get me drunk. There’s a big difference between 7% and 12%. Ah well, it was definitely worth trying.

Bummer! Good effort though, Janebook. Read on for more about Jane’s weekend.

Or check out our big IPA discussion from last week.

KKKatie is definitely back in action

The White House thing and the cop car thing may have been old news, as some commenters have suggested. But this one, as you can see clear as day, has a big old “2011″ on it, so, yes, KKKatie is BBBack!

Deep-fried potato burrito smothered in ‘potato sauce’

Seems like forever ago that Jameth was a fixture on the scene here in San Francisco. I think he moved to Las Vegas for a while, but I have no idea where he is now. Only that he had this intriguing monstrosity for lunch just now. What the fuck is potato sauce?

UPDATE: He’s in Bellingham, WA.

[Thanks, Brittney!]

Majestic!

I wonder if it’s a relative of that last majestic rock dove we saw.

This is pretty good, and I hope Cube and/or Disney see it and turn it into a major motion picture, but I still like my Ice Cube remix better.

Crack is wack

Doctor Dex posted this image yesterday.

It is reminiscent of Mission Mission’s most trafficked post of all time, but somehow I don’t think this one is poised to take off in quite the same way.

This party’s jumpin’ off over at 23rd and Valencia.

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."
