Unfortunately, I really can't vouch for their burgers -- they might be awesome for all I know!

The rain is torrential, positively Biblical (at least by San Francisco standards), what do you do?  Play in the flash flood that formed outside your house?  Slide down the muddy hills in Dolores

Sports Basement on Bryant street will soon be offering free CPR certification in Spanish (it is already offered in English).

We've said it before, but we'll say it again:  Free beats Cheap anytime!  It goes without saying, really, but it bears repeating.  And what's a better way to get something for free than by just giving it up?  We're referring, of course, to the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition's Gas-Free Fridays.  It's not that you need a special excuse to leave the car behind when you're commuting, or otherwise travelling around the Bay, but SFBC's Gas-Free Fridays campai

Maybe the title of this post should be "Cheaper Rent..."  After all, San Francisco, as you know, is not a cheap place.  And the #1 expense for most folks is rent - that huge chunk of change you fork over every month to the person (or faceless corporation) that owns the building you live in.  (Hell, even if you"own" your place, it's the bank that really calls the shots -- and they won't even fix your toilet if it backs up!)

Drastic times call for drastic measures. Since everyone is universally agreeing that the holidays totally suck this year, if you and yours are still in agrement to exchange gifts, this is a great way to save some loot.

BLUEGRASS BONANZA!
Lone Mountain Sisters + String Break
@the Plough & Stars
116 Clement @2nd, SF
9pm / $6 (yeah that's cheap...two great bands for six bucks!)

Real-life Sisters, Cameron and Prentice grew up listening to bluegrass, and their love for it inspired them to form their own band...with their husbands, THE LONE MOUNTAIN SISTERS.

It all makes sense: firefighters need money, we need ice cream.

In 2007 we posted about where you could get free light bulbs from Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). Well, that offer was, as they say, for a limited time only, so I think you're out of luck.
