Current City
San Francisco, California, United States
Something I love in my current city
Proliferation of bars that split the charming difference between fancy and cruddy
A local hidden treasure you shouldn’t miss
Sunrise on Bernal Hill with cheap coffee
My favorite local pub café or neighborhood bar
The Uptown

My Bio
I'm a Contributing Writer for AFAR, the author of "What Really Happened to the Class of '93" and "Blindsight," and bassist for Baby and the Luvies, and I was once in a film shot by chimps, and I teach writing at the San Francisco Writers' Grotto, and my grandmother was the Gerber baby, and I sort of miss living in the Balkans, and my three-year-old talks too much about aliens.
