Agreed! It's now on it's second place since then. He took it over from his Dad and they totally re-dig it, called Stock & Trade, but it didn't last long. New place called Westwood is like snooty country bar, pretty good food and nice whiskey selection. New owners are super chill. But I do miss La Barca's. There are not many good dive / mexican / live music joint filled with drunken marina broads left around here. These are troubled times.

Ha. Well for the record I'll be gone by then. I'm over San Francisco. It was so amazing and fun, but this town turned to shit. We're cashing out and leaving. Everyone is leaving.

#15 Baby! The Pac12 is ripe for us to make a run this year.

He was a tour de force in New Jack City!

that was the partridge family's "doesn't somebody want to be wanted?" followed by edison lighthouse's "love grows where my rosemary goes." as k-billy's super sounds of the '70's weekend just keeps on... truckin'.

Nicely done W.E.B.!

Don't judge my lifestyle.

Sounds even better when they violently lace Zach's drink with lemon extract before he sings the graduation solo.. "heep pippy poo!"

Yeah staying at the hotels sans casinos isn’t ideal IMO. The Vdara, Delano, Mandarin Oriental (now Waldorf Astoria), Four Seasons, etc are awesome (and great rooms, restaurant, bars) but not having casino at main level takes away some of the fun of staying.

And back down 20% to $10k.

the vdara spa is fantastic - great choice. le rêve is good but the beatles cirque du soleil show is light years better (and arguably the best show in vegas).

i may be white to the outside.. but I'm brown on the inside. TO THE BONE.

he was there closing his deal with the rice-a-roni people the whole time!

I was just there. Definitely do the Sognefjord. This is what I did. Note I booked this all on the fly as I was leaving Ærøskøbing - which is a tiny island in Denmark (and f*cking insane, everyone should visit once in their life). We went from Ærøskøbing back up into Copenhagen and then flew into Bergen on the west coast of Norway, which is basically the gateway to the fjords. Gorgeous town. Make sure to drink lots of acquavit. One morning took the early train from Bergen through Voss and into Merdal. Just through the Norwegian countryside, unbelievable beauty. And stellar bar car on the train. Goes without saying but the little bit of extra coin for first class always worth it on these kinds of trains. Then take the Flåmsbana train north into Flåm. This has been frequently voted the most beautiful train ride in the world. It's old school, kind of a "murder on the orient express" vibe and goes all the way down to the base of the fjord. It's the steepest non-funicular train in the world. Absolutely un-f*cking real. Sit on the left side going downhill into Flåm, and the right side going back up. In Flåm, you don't have many options but I recommend the Aegir Brewpub - it's like super viking style with crazy beers, wild locals and legit food and right on the water. Stay a night in that town on the water. But check nautical cruise schedules because I hear once in a blue moon a small cruise ship will stop here, so make sure to avoid that shit. We were there and we were the only people in the pub who spoke English, which is the f*cking best if you are a drinker (which you are). Even the workers end their shift and get wasted with everyone until the sun comes up. Or could stay in Balestrand. The next morning do a tour on the fjord. Do one of the legit ones on the small rib boats where you get the full gear. The one we booked (literally the day before arriving) had like 6 peeps scheduled but they goofed and overbooked, so I talked them into a private one with just my wife and I and a local guide. Unreal. Just, unreal. He took us out for hours longer than was booked for, even stopped off at his tiny hometown on the fjord and we went into the local brewpub. He owns lands and the woman renter has goats, she pays him in goats milk. Take the Flåmsbana railway back to Merdal, and then then normal train through Finse and Geilo and into Oslo. Another world famous train ride. Oslo was OK, but we got bored there after a few days and one night drunkenly booked a flight up the next morning into the Arctic Circle and stayed at the super famous ICEHOTEL in Sweden which had been on my bucket list for ages. That sh*t was out of this world crazy fun. Just un-f*cking real. Another thing everyone should do. Staying in a room entirely carved out of ice is hard to put into words. Cold though. Any questions just let me know.

If you like champagne, highly recommend taking the train from Paris to Reims and visit the champagne houses and caves (Veuve Clicquot, Taittinger, Pommery, etc). They are amazing.

I'll be there labor day weekend. First two rounds of Zima on me for anyone wearing a Steve HillenFinley jersey (and a shot of your choice if it's signed by José Arredondo).

Zero chance they leave Lindholm exposed. He's their best player next to Gibson, and one of the top young D in the league.

They still serve RC Cola in the soda fountain at Top Dog in Berkeley.

mutha f*cking huffy white heat. i rode the hell out of that thing, anywhere and everywhere in OC when I was like 10. f*ck that bmx or dyno nonsense.

My wife and I saw a showing of Mulholland Drive (one of my top 5 movies) at Alamo Drafthouse recently - had some great whiskey at the bar beforehand, and then legit Texas ribs (they are an Austin-based company) and drinks during the movie. Was epic. There is one in LA, recommend you guys check it out if you haven't.

Naw there are plenty of places you can see non blockbuster stuff, and I'm not talking about AMC and their sh*tty popcorn and $48 junior mints. You just have to look. Theaters like Alamo Drafthouse are f*cking awesome - you can see indie stuff or blockbusters or foreign films or older classics, even on 70mm. Complete with legit food and strong cocktails and not smashed into some creep next to you. Highly recommend. Gotta patronize those places if you want them to stay around!

Yep, I don't watch them either and also go to the movies a bit less lately thanks to all the garbage they are spewing out lately. But if you look around you can find theaters that show some really great films. Lots of great foreign movies coming out last few years too. You just have to push through the forced-blockbuster comic book crap noise to find them.
