Get your dance on at Dance Party!
Beer makes me dance. I’m guilty, I admit it. I like to dance, and beer makes me do it even more. Or at least that’s what my shirt says.

MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN WITH LEMON AND BEER

Tapigami at the California Museum

Book Review – Rajaa Alsinea’s Girls of Riyadh

August 31, of this year marked … Continue reading
Shine: Keeping It Jazzy
Shine. I found it once by accident and had to go back to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. When I entered, my suspicions were pleasantly reinforced: Shine (1400 E St., 916-551-1400) on Tuesday nights (8-10:30) is a jazzy spot. This quaint mid-town coffee house has an intimate, yet communal, feel concurrently. Instantly, one can … Continue reading
