So I met this woman in a bar i the Marina while I was dressed up as a Mexican wrestler for a Sunday Recess event, and anyway ended up getting invited to a meet up event being held by Gawker TV tonight at 8PM at Zeitgeist, an earthy Mission dive bar sporting a patio of picnic tables. I was invited before she knew I wrote for RoughlyDrafted, but it’s all cool and there’s nothing they can do about it anyway at this point. You should come say hi.

Also, be advised that Zeitgeist is dangerously close to a KFC serving the Double Down.
