What a perfect day for Puff’n'sip! Seriously. Full moon at the sunrise, highs in upper 70-s, burning man goes up in flames four days early, and if you are an Aquarius:

“Your social energy is never exactly the same as that of the rest of the world, but you get by pretty well. Today you find you’re much better able to get along with huge groups of people, so work it!”

Speaking of fortunes — markets are crawling back up, but if you are still worried – invest into a defensive sector. Like Distillers and Vintners (us&SBOOZE). Quote from CNBC :

Safe bet in good times or bad. People drink when they are sad, and people drink when they are happy.

So — invest, go pound a few, and watch them fortunes grow!

And speaking of pounding, today’s August 29, 2007 Puff’n'sip will commence @

5:09 PM @ John Colins, 89 Natoma (@ 2nd Street)
and steadily raise by
7:12 PM to Cigar Bar and Grill, 850 Montgomery (@ Jackson)

There will be a brief stop at Grant’s on Market/Sutter for a cigar tasting event.

Later.
Lot’s of love,
Stas.

Which for everyone outside of San Francisco means that summer is almost over. But there is still time.. As I craft my hot air prose, wearing shades and flip-flops, I crave the scorcher and the swelter of long summer days. There is still summer left. I believe!
And, no, I did not go to Europe. My European vacation started and ended at Schroeder’s…

Important stuff — Puff’n'holdem VII is coming! At this time, The Management is requesting your submissions for the charitable organization to benefit from this event. Some guiding principles are:
– focus on kids and/or education
– local impact
– small enough to care about our contribution

And today’s, August 22, 2007 Puff’n'sip will begin @

Lots love,

No need to ask the reason why… That’s a quote, but the European vacation was too short. Good, but just not enough. And I am still in the ‘gotta get out’ mode. So bring your sunglasses and free passes — today is the day for a tropical island getaway! Shimmering ocean, white sails, hidden-away coves, tiki huts, and umbrella drinks… Uhhhh…And if you have real vacation plans or just got back from one — please, bring your scrap books, photo albums, slide shows and home movies. Go ahead! Rub it in.

Today’s, August 15, 2007 Puff’n'sip will begin @
5:21 PM @ Bamboo Hut, 479 Broadway (@ Kearny)
And stroll over @
7:75 PM to Cigar Bar and Grill, 850 Montgomery (@ Jackson)

See you all there!
Lotsa love,
Stas.

I am talking about the old country. All that smoking, the trashy, exaggerated sense of fashion, bad attitude, and incomprehensible politics drive us, American patriots, NUTS! Yet, we regularly flood the European sub-continent with shorts and white sneakers, and import huge quantities of meats, cheeses, and hot accents. So it seems that it’s one of those irresolvable conflicts, that causes passions to flare up, tears to pour, and other profound things to happen… But, I am running out of time, so to the point — August is a great month for a European vacation, at least most of Europeans think and do so. And for us — we’ll travel short distances for some local European flavors…

Today’s, August 8, 2007 Puff’n'sip will start @
5:01 PM @ Schroerder’s (240 Front Street) — Since 1893, the oldest and the largest German restaurant on the West Coast,
and continue @
7:13 PM to Cigar Bar and Grill (850 Montgomery) — Hosting Klub Europe tonight with Live Latin Salsa.

And in local news, Great Pacific Northwest Chapter of Puff’n'sip is back online! Sweet!

See you all later.
Lotsa love,
Ctac.

Have no influence on Puff’n'sip. We are on! Always. But I did have a reading done recently, so if anyone cares I’d be happy to share results.
