Who will win the Super Bowl?
Friday, February 5th, 2010Every year I watch the Super Bowl, never caring about the outcome. Since my team, the 49ers, has not been in for 16 years, I don’t really have a reason to watch. But I still faithfully turn my attention to the advertising blitz that is Super Sunday for my annual display of broishness. Like many […]

In it’s third year, the treasure island festival finally sold out. Ticket wise that is. The festival, a past time for me and Annie since its inception in 2007, was packed for both days, meaning more crowds and more craziness. Saturday the 17th was an electronic filled […]
