THE JO-TEL is going to drink its way to Dover

The rumors are true. I no longer reside at the Jo-tel. So, if you’re doing the math and scratching your head: yes, Hip E. and Johnny D are the only ones on this blog who actually live at the Jo-tel in San Francisco, which: ValleJO St. + Hotel = Jo-tel (pronounced “hotel” not […]

Inasmuch as you, Shark, and you, Patsy, have committed yourselves to each other in marriage, and have joined hands and exchanged sacred vows in the presence of these witnesses; by the authority vested in me - and more importantly by the strength of your love - I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You […]

Erstwhile Jo-Tel contributor, PETE, alive and well. And a hero.

Anyhow, last night I thwarted a bike theft in our neighborhood. I was sitting on my porch smoking a cigarette and some chick pulled up to the liquor store across the street and propped her bike up outside without locking it (there’s a […]

So I went on two dates this week: one on Wednesday night, one on Thursday.
Wednesday: Meh. Not necessarily bad. Just meh. The night got off to an inauspicious start when she insisted that McIntosh apples were spelled Macintosh. What was I supposed to do? Just let that stand?? And so yeah, that was probably the […]

Last Wednesday I went to Kristin Cavallari’s 21st birthday party.
Well, I should be clear.
Her birthday was January 5. That night she evidently partied somewhere.
THEN, last weekend, she went to Vegas and had another birthday party.
So this was her third, at least.
It must be weird to be a celebrity and have people you don’t know throw […]

This would be like both Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin reuniting for one-time only concerts on the same night … except one is in Brighton at 7:30 p.m. and one is in Cambridge at 9 p.m.! But maybe you’re a street racer from the mean streets of Manchester, with a rough exterior that conceals a […]

I helped Hilary's dad install our new air conditioner yesterday. It's one of those stand-alone units where you just connect a dryer-like tube to the back of the unit and throw the other end out the window and bam. A couple of notes.
1) Here is a picture of the thing. It's massive and looks […]

One of the best things about my new job (which I might have gotten fired from on Friday. More on that next week.) is that I can walk to work. It’s 2.5 miles from my house, which is the perfect distance in my opinion. If I wake up early, it’s a 40 minute walk. Wake […]

Hollywood Hills, east to west from my back stoop.

There’s lots of pretty sweet graffiti art in the alleys behind my building. Someday I’ll take some better pictures of it. If you will just look to the left of the tree with the purple blossoms, you could make out the Hollywood sign if this were a […]

Okay,
So I’m not going to say I was dragged to Banana Split. After two nights of drinking without spending any money, less a 3:30am meal at Denny’s on Saturday, I was informed that Mate’s girl, Jenna, was on the guest list for Sunday night plus a bunch. It was DJ AM’s birthday party and despite […]
