lit death match/ web analytics wednesday

my editor Andrew Lâm won the literary death match tonight. most of the stories were about sex, drugs, or both, whereas he sung a about his dead grandma's death and brief resurrection, and how she was rad about his bisexual exploits. he won by naming three songs before his competitor did. some white guy Lawrence Gallagher sung them. it seemed a bit white-biased, but Andrew won with his grasp of showtunes, i.e. On The Street Where You Live - From 'My Fair Lady' and Green river or something. he missed the radiohead (Creep), as did his competitor. weak.

before that we loaded up on knowledge, drinks and Mediterranean snaks at the Web Analytics Wednesday at Varnish fine arts gallery/bar. it was tasteful and popular.

drinks at some hayes valley gay bar closed the night, with free Paxti's chicago-style pizza, one Hawaiian (weird on deep dish) and one sausage, zucchini and mushroom or something. courtesy of a patron. schweet.

appletalk like a fun dip in sweaty pools underneath your head

it's a new day in the neighborhood when Xiu Xiu meets Larsen for daydrinking out back by the barn until rot turns up on the picnic bench, when you fall through and meet your maker in space, playing a game of backgammon until grandma relives you, relieving herself while you relive the past, did it ever taste so good? chop up the melting pot and smoke it because we used to have seasons home girl.

Sweet Suicide

BK at Ocean Beach has a drink mix chart on the soda fountain...Black and Gold, other mixes. we used to call a mix of everything in the fountain -- including water -- a Suicide. never tried it.

i'm partial to two-thirds coke and one-third Dr. Pepper... could be a Dolly Whirlwhip.
