Liquor in the Cabinet

Henry sent over link to a short film that he made about photographer and sometime carpenter Paul Kirchner making a liquor cabinet. The cabinet is lovely and I would be glad to make room for it in the spacious Howler offices. Please enjoy the film: MAKER UNKNOWN – documentary short-film from CLUBSODA on Vimeo.

Saloon Shuttering Soon

Marc Goldfine sent over an email saying: Here’s a brief update on what’s happening at the Dogpatch Saloon. We take over on Monday 11/5 and will close to do some cleanup, replace some equipment, and do a little work on the interior. It’s always hard to say with these things exactly when it will be […]

Dogpatch “Cool”, Says Zito

I don’t know if you were aware, but the other night one of our local sports teams won a national series of games to be crowned “World Champions.” It would have been easy to miss, what with the lack of bonfires and vandalism in sleepy Dogpatch. Just an hour or two of honking and probably-illegal […]

Herradura Tasting at Poquito Tonight!

If you weren’t aware, Poquito does a tasting on the last Friday of each month. I’m still trying to convince them to send me a nice press release a week in advance with the featured booze, but until that happens, they do usually post on Facebook the day of. Case in point… Poquito says: Stop […]

Welcome, Korean Sailors!

People have been mentioning asians in dress whites roaming through the neighborhood and taking the T into the city. I’ve heard them referred to as Japanese and Chinese, but it’s the Republic of Korea‘s Navy. Bernalwood got it right. Points to Bernalwood. Acting Police Captain Robert O’Sullivan of the Bayview Police Station said: On Sunday, […]

Fleet Week

This year your mother won’t have to swim out to the troop ships, because they will mostly be docking at Pier 80. In the past, naval ships would discharge their seamen all over Piers 30-32, but with America’s Cup encrusting that part of the city, Fleet Week has been forced to go down south. Fleetweek […]

Mattress Mattress Burning Bright

According to a confidential Howler source*, the recent fire at the old Potrero Police Station was started by a burning mattress. The cause of the mattress fire is yet unknown, but no one had recently gotten into the station. The source also related that someone from the neighborhood has been haranguing the City about the […]
