Jun.9 WildCard Wednesday at Lucky 13
ORIGINAL INVITE:
Summer time, Summer time...quit watching the stock prices and go to the beach!
Please join us TONIGHT at Lucky 13 in San Francisco.
Located on the same block as Cafe du Nord, the spacious Lucky 13 has that subtle local grit & grunge and a kick-back unpretentiousness. As they say, it "ain't no chic yuppie watering hole." Replete with pool table, an extensive Black Cat collection on display, rock memorabilia adorning the walls (many posters are by Alan Forbes), and a fab jukebox of punk & rock classics, Lucky 13 is a 6-year old gem of an SF bar. They even used to host White Trash Wednesday drink nights.
For the beer aficionado, Lucky 13 features over 25 beers, from Belgium, Brazil, and Norway, plus domestic microbrews, like Oregon's Black Butte Porter. Sparky, the owner, takes pride in his extensive German Wheat beer selections. Be sure to also check out the upstairs and the outdoor side patio (look for the door on the right).
Details & directions follow.

* POSTCARDS FROM THE HEIGHTS & THE TRENCHES
So, the Black & White Ball was the Black & the Bruised for some, after going mtb'ing. Sampling the Telegraph Hill party scene this weekend and meeting characters nicknamed "the Wipp" felt like a moment out of Melrose Place...it's amusing to witness the restlessness of the Valley...everyone "swinging" from company to company ...even b-school classmates who chose the safe world of management consulting for 2 long years are finally geting on the Internet start-up field....Wave after wave of Silicon Valley Swing Set types who are done with "vesting" in peace are buying up homes madly...real estate and private client services friends all say "Buy Now"...ah, the go-go Net 90s.
*DINING RANTS & RAVES
KABUTO - good to see that it's still one of the finest sushi places in town...THE ROOSTER -- after being around for 2 years, the Morrocan/Asian husband & wife team has finally found their groove. Everything was sublime, from appetizers right down to the Bailey's Irish Creme creme brulee.
* WILD CARD WEDNESDAY is...
A roving happy hour drinkfest for the Silicon Valley "swing" set (e.g. notorious job changers and deal swingers known as MBAs, VCs, and start-up types...with a sporting twist) and their friends, plus plenty who don't fit those pegholes. WCWs generally take place on the first Wednesday of the month at various new San Francisco venues. Job and housing postings are also distributed to the group.
