A new twist on Berlin-style ping pong

This week we’ve seen a new twist on bowling and a new twist on skeeball. Last night at NightLife at Cal Academy, we learned a new twist on Berlin-style ping pong:

As players get out, they leave their paddle randomly on the table. The number of paddles increases as the game goes on, creating more and more obstacles for the players that remain. We were playing with only about 10 people, which was fun, but imagine the challenge of a 25- or 30-person game!

Perhaps we’ll try it tonight in the Lower Haight at the only American Tripps party in August!

Does the carpet match the… shoes?

Yep!

Brunch is not boys’ night

Yesterday on Tumblr I shamed my friend Wesley for flaking on a hang, using this list of recent boys’ nights:

  1. North Beach w/ Chris and Luke
  2. Diarrhea Planet w/ Colin and Nick
  3. Mission Hill Saloon w/ Simon and Marky
  4. Improv show (7pm), karaoke (9pm), or Mission Hill Saloon (11pm) w/ Wesley Oh wait, Wesley bailed on all three things, one at a time

Wesley responded thusly, via an intermediary:

Brunch is not boys’ night, Wesley. (But brunch was fun, you’re right.) (We had that bomb $5 toast!)

The thousand-yard ‘about to drink a Latin American Club margarita’ stare

Yep, that’s what it looks like:

Thieves stole 20 iPads and numerous teachers’ wallets from local school

A friend who works at Glen Park Elementary, the school, sent in this information. This security camera image is a clue.

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."
