Music doesn’t have anything to do with burritos. Yes it does. This section is where I post stuff about anything not directly burrito-related, but everything in San Diego is a few short steps from a burrito.

The best show I’ve been to in a long time and the best new band I’ve seen is Who’s Your Favorite Son God? My sister-in-law, Kym Fulmer, is my favorite print maker. I’m going to post stuff like this here.

Burritofest?

Filed under: Other - 14 Jun 2010

What would it be? Can you have a burrito eating party? I am old. I eat one burrito per meal these days. Maybe we could cut them up like sushi rolls with toothpicks in them? No! Beer? Yes. Maybe some …

I don’t always drink beer …

I was in D.C. recently and it began a hot, clear trip. A couple of days into it storm clouds blew over the city and rain drops the size of Hope diamonds began to fall. I hailed a cab after …

I took a close look at one of these obnoxious “Life is Good” bumper stickers and it’s a trademarked slogan. It might as well be an asterisk. You know, conditions apply, etc., read the fine print, bring your lawyer, etc. …

If you don’t read him, you should. Here’s why. Classic Greenwald–tight like a Tupperware lid.

He’s the best blogger out there that I’ve been able to find. Maybe that’s because I don’t like blogs (hey, wait a second …). I …
