Too many little mistakes by Minnesota down the stretch. The inexperience showed a bit, but this team has been doing everything on the fly in the playoffs anyways. Mavs are tough AF, but still plenty of time to figure it out in this series.

Alamo Square afternoon.

Woke up and listened to 'In Rainbows' at an unreasonable volume. I recommend this endeavor.

Got that hash brown, bacon, egg & cheese at Newkirk’s. Extra points for multiple D’Angelo tracks playing while I was at the shop 🫡

Joker n Murray had no help tonite.

Anthony Edwards has just gotten better and better as the playoffs rolled along and slaying the Nuggets is massive. Dude is on some Incredible Hulk shit. Hype 🔥

Went from the Otto Von Biz Markie hip-hop set at Goldline to seeing Adrian Younge spin Brazilian records ahead of O Terno’s all-timer Jazz Is Dead show at Lodge Room and Highland Park felt like the center of my universe last night 🙌

This is fucking brilliant. Donald and Hiro did it again and I never wanted it to end.

My Mom’s best friend from Brazil is visiting for Mother’s Day. She wears a country home mumu, smokes Winstons (that she brought from Brazil) and my Mom’s 10 pound poodle is out with us at lunch while they’re all having the time of their lives. I am headed for my 2nd margarita ❤️

I love this post (and try the Renzo Special on focaccia!).

This Knicks team is so much fun to watch and it's easily the franchise's best since the late 90s. Brunson continues to be a cold-blooded killer, these dudes all trust each other and are attacking the offensive boards like they're life depends on it. Solid, solid hoops.

Wrote about the 100%, undisputed and definitive Mt. Rushmore of SF sandwich shops, for 48 Hills.
