State Fair Bovine Buzz Kill
Rampaging, Pregnant Cow Shot To Death At State Fair reads the KCRA3 headline. Wow, seriously? There are so many ways to go with that headline, I don’t even know where to start. But it kinda makes me want to avoid the fair. Not out of cow-fear, but out of baby-cow mourning. »
We’re totally gay and loving it!
Sacramento beat out cities like Austin, Portland, San Diego, and, would you believe, New York, coming in as the sixth gayest city in America.

Thursday Nights At The Zoo
No, no, don’t adjust your news feeds and readers – this is, in fact, a new post at Metroblogging Sacramento. Time to brush away the cobwebs and get on with things. I’m back from an extended maternity leave and trying to, you know, like figure everything out. If the posts from now on sometimes... »

Vintage Expo + Pop Up Shop this Saturday
Get dad a sharkskin suit or a vintage tie for Father’s Day–head to the Helms Bakery building for what sounds like a damned cool event. Billed as “part ‘Pop-Up Shop,’ part vintage expo, part art opening,” this one day event should be good shopping and... »

Mapping LA, Again
Last year, the Los Angeles Times unveiled its Mapping LA project, in which it attempted to define the boundaries of some 87 distinct neighborhoods in the city. Besides stirring up some decades-old debate over what really constitutes the “East Side,” it was an interesting experiment in city identity and even pride. It looks like... »

Watercress Cafe: My new favorite lunch spot

Win Tickets to the Buzzcocks at Club Nokia June 5
When I was a wee punk girl, I had a mix tape (oh yes, my cubs, I am indeed that old) that ended with the Buzzcocks‘ “Something’s Gone Wrong Again,” except cassette recording being the inexact science it is, I’d misoverestimated the amount of time left on the tape, and the song was cut... »
