Last night Ryan, Brad, and I went to the new “300″ bowling alley in Pasadena. Here is my review. Some of you reading this have been to Tokyo Delve’s Sushi Bar in North Hollywood. It’s sort of a combination nightclub and sushi bar. There is a velvet rope at the door, there is a constant [...]
Just a reminder that February’s bowl was rescheduled to tomorrow evening, at 8ish. We’ll meet at the Alhambra bowl, sans bowler hats. See you then.
Mark Rothko is the patron artist of the DFMM. Or at least he should be. How can you not get behind somebody painting a couple of rectangles on a canvas and calling it “art?” That’s all the way ballsy and awesome. Even more awesome is the Tate Modern‘s super-slack response to hanging a couple of [...]
Twenty five years ago today the world almost go the paint sucked off its collective house. Were it not for the inaction of Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov, we’d all have been given a permanent orange afro. He had two options. Go with his instinct and dismiss the missiles as computer errors, breaking military protocol in the [...]
When next we meet, I will move during New Bidness to posthumously induct into the DFMM one James “Jim” Adams. While none of us ever met the Wyoming resident, I believe he truly embodied the spirit of the DFMM and deserves honor among our ranks. See his obituary in the Casper-Star Tribune: He was sadly [...]

Be there. Always Sunny comes back tonight. Set your DVR’s or, for those of you who still jerk off manually, [...]
And I don’t mean tooling around downtown between Seven Grand and the Golden Gopher. These are the kind of Foster Brooks shenanigans you just don’t get on TV anymore. Drunk wildebeasts! Drunk giraffes! Drunk caterpillars! Now that’s comedy.
Do you pine for the good old days days of the ffem when they… did stuff? Perhaps the Freehacker’s Union (“The F.U.” if you’re hep) is for you. The Freehacker’s Union aims to preserve hacking and invention as methods of personal artistic expression. We hate the Business Guy, the Idea Man, the Power Mongers that [...]
Does Wine SpeculatorSpectator have anything useful to say? You be the judge. As part of the research for an academic paper I’m currently working on about standards for wine awards, I submitted an application for a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. I named the restaurant “Osteria L’Intrepido” (a play on the name of a restaurant [...]
