Lots love,

Big Red.

Sometimes you just don’t have time for that.  You know you should. You’ve been advised so. You even slow down and reach,  when you see an especially appealing little number. But you don’t stop. You have the perspective in front of you. The lineup of street lamps and traffic signs urges and  directs you – get there! Because that’s where you need to be – a single point where left and right becomes center, just there barely behind the horizon. You know if you press hard you’ll be there in no time. But it is round, and hence goes on forever. And that means no time for the smelling of  flowers. And there lies the comfort of the picnic tablecloth. Steady, conveniently alternating  parallels, with graspable dimensions, promise of fresh fruit and wine, and infinite proximity to flowers, birds, butterflies, and puffy clouds. And somewhere near horizon a faint trace of settling dust – yet another wagon, rushing off in search of perspective…    

 Today’s, June 2, 2010 Puff’n'sip will settle up around

and strolling off by

7:13 PM  to  Cigar Bar & Grill, 850 Montgomery (@ Jackson)

Lots of love,

Big Red.

than not, about what drives people like you and I to poetry? Do we find pace and rhythm attractive and comforting, like “hello, hello, hello, how low (repeat 3 times..)”, or ambiguous images and invocations, like “come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach”, stimulating and entertaining? At the end it’s all just words…

And the word is  - today’s may 19, 2010 Puff’n’sip is on. We well commence @

 5:11 PM @ Harlot,  46 Minna (@ Shaw between 1^st and 2^nd)

and venture @

7:01 PM to Cigar Bar and Grill, 850 Montgomery (@ Jackson)

Lotsa love,

Big Red.

there are some things you just know. Call it intuition, archetype, a gut feel (very ironic description in this era of stomach flu’s), or just lucky foresight, but it’s there. Just sitting there, available to you as Knowledge, deep and shiny in all its might. But the truth is that we spend so much of our time proving or simply neglecting it anyhow. Google it  if you must, but between sleep and doubt we are halfway done with the lifespan allotted. And there is time where we act with an ecliptic disregard for knowledge, which often has long lasting affects and can really mess with one’s identity. All in all it shows that we waste  a lot of time disregarding that teeny inner voice,we ought to trust. At the end – you do prove yourself right, one or twelve steps later, and reaffirm the righteous path.

What all this about? Here, case point: “The strongest medical evidence exists for the link between moderate drinking and a reduced risk of heart disease.. Men [I am sure they meant it in ‘human beings’ sense - BR] who consumed alcohol between three and seven days a week had fewer heart attacks than men who drank once a week.”

Your response – “I knew that!” – is absolutely correct and is right to the point of this observation. Speaking of ‘to the point’,

Today’s, May 12, 2010 Puff’n’sip is on. We kick off precisely @

5:02 PM @ Chaya Brasserie, 132 Embarcadero (@ Howard)

I was thinking about spring a lot lately. You know, bunnies, blooms, and bbq’s kind of thing.  It’s awesome, that state of springing that happens to the world around us. It’s uplifting and inspiring, and, if you believe in nurture over nature, the outcomes are so delightfully unpredictable. Who knows, maybe that’s a money tree growing in the crack. Or a whipping willow. Or whatever else you like.

And then it rained again. And I forgot. But then I remembered that I am late again… – To business!

Today’s, April21, 2010 Puff’n’sip is on! We’ll start without hesitation at specifically

Bad Bunny Pub Hop Committee

It might seems impossible and there is an outstanding argument whether bunnies have lips, and if they do – only 46% of Americans admit to contemplating and/or speculating about bunny lips - if there is any intrinsic or esoteric  value to those. Bunny lips, not Americans. But regardless of the statistic argument, here is what I heard:

Easter is next Sunday, which means that next Friday is the 5th Annual Bad Bunny Pub Hop!

Friday April 2nd at 5PM 

You don’t need a costume to be a bunny, but appropriate apparel is highly encouraged. You can rent a full bunny costume locally at Costumes on Haight (about $40), or get some bunny ears at Walgreens.

As always we will be raising money to support the Blind Babies Foundation. Blind Babies Foundation provides family services for infants and preschoolers who are blind or visually impaired.

Please spread the invite to bunnies world wide!

I have been asked, over and over, and I am hasting out a reply in attempt to extinguish any poisonous suspicions that might have taken hold of your imaginative minds. No, it’s not true. No and no way. Not in a million years – and I am willing to take a bet with anyone who is willing to wait that long to prove me wrong.  Some call it a fountain, which I prefer, some compare it to unfortunate side-effects of a flu. Whatever side or direction you chose, I want to prove you right and let you know that there is still a plenty. I guess what I am trying to say is…

Today’s, March 10, 2010 Puff’n’sip is on! It make a proper start @

5:16 PM @ Chaya Brasserie, 132 Embarcadero, ( @ Howard) – the place is even more exciting in  the light of the recent armed robbery..

 And travel on @

 7:02 PM to Cigar Bar & Grill, 850 Montgomery (@ Jackson)

And don’t you forget – Bad Bunnies are coming!!!!

 Lotsa love,

Big Red

I just can’t help it. I tried to ignore and not care, and the dismal TV coverage sure helped with that, but Vancouver Olympics happened. And it just does not calculate – 6.6M square miles, covered with snow about 6 months out of the year (although 13% of that is water, so probably counts as ice), huge distances, the highest point in all of Europe, 140 mil people fighting with bad to nonexistent public transportation… All points to the perfect set up, but all accounted for 15 medals, 11th placement, and the worst showing ever by the Russian team…

That hurts so much, I might just give up drinking in protest. But heartbroken or not, Puff’n’sip is on!!

Today’s, March 3, 2010 Puff’n’sip will kick off at exactly @

5:13 PM @ Eve Lounge, 575 Howard St. (@ 2nd)

and proceed @

7:01 PM to  Cigar Bar & Grill, 850 Montgomery (@ Jackson)

Lotsa love,

Big Red.
